What Becomes of the Broken Jookied?

Well, I always wonder what becomes of my Jooky offspring and sometimes I know and other times they just disappear into the gloom, never to be heard of again.

One I have heard of, is The Spangled One from long, long ago, that I notice is now for sale over on The Fretboard Forum's Classifieds for a silly cheap £150...

And what a tale it has to tell.

Originally, it was of course paisleyified with a sparkly finish, but John who bought it unfortunately saw it viciously 'relicked' by a wild, untamed err, puppy, which removed a lot of the paisley and left the poor thing in tatters.

(Note to self - don't use that hide glue again)

Anyway, as should be done, John got a friend to paint the even more Jookified guitar than intended, and went with a stunning War of the Worlds vision of fear, pain and a common somewhere close to Woking town.

He also changed the pickups to an Axesrus set and generally it looks rather amazing.

So to cut a long 'un shorter, this is it, and if you fancy it for a tonne and a nifty, John's your man...

La la laaaa
