Sold: The Trojan One

The Trojan One is the first of our new range of Jooky Classic guitars, and is basically Jookified in-excelsis. The swamp ash body has been given an active iron coating that has been attacked with nefarious chemicals that have started it to rust. This has been topped with beeswax, which will protect it, but age naturally while the iron below will continue to slowly rust as time goes on. It won’t all disappear in a cloud of red dust though, as there are multiple layers that are sealed beneath and will stay forever more-so.

The neck is a real beauty, with a generous C profile, made of quarter sawn maple with a beautiful dark rosewood fretboard. Here we have gone a step further with binding and cellulose block fret markers which look divine. On top of this we have gone for Sperzel tuners which are super cool and yet groovy too.

Other hardware is traditional Jazzmaster – a Jazzmaster tremolo matched with a Fender Jazzmaster bridge and a no-nonsense black scratchplate is partnered nicely with old school Tele knobs.

The final flourish is a pair of deeply unusual pickups, courtesy of uber pickup guru Marc Ransley of Mojo Pickups. These may look like Jazzmaster pickups, but within are a matched pair of Mosrite influenced noisemakers, which are quite simply awesome. Like a P90 on steroids and genuinely full of sustain, spit and vomit. These really are stunning, which we’ve combined with one of Mojo’s beautifully traditional wiring looms (all CTS pots, Switchcraft Switches and socket, Paper in Oil caps and cloth covered wire), which are destined to last generations. In fact as guitars go this is an out and out alt.rock.god (in the old sense), that genuinely wants you to bash seven shades out of it.

*

To be clear, The Trojan One is an utterly unique guitar, and there will never, ever, be another made. It is signed and numbered, entirely hand built and finished cooler than a slo-mo run across the pebbled beach at Portishead. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
