Well, as you may have noticed we haven't made a lot of guitars here in Jookyland for the last year or so, so it is with great pleasure that we unveil The Gimme Shelter One, which is for the grooviest of good causes.
You can read more about the Whys HERE though, over on the Gimme Shelter Tour web site, but here we'll just talk geetars.
So from the top, it is a lovely resonant pine La Cabronita body, along with a maple/rosewood neck, all smothered in Mother of Jooky like nobody even dun done before.
The pickup is a Mojo Mojotron, hotter than vintage and matched with one of the Genius Ransley's wiring looms, is perfection. This is raw when you want it to be and soulfilled and all those other things I wish I could play like.
A Hipshot stainless steel bridge holds one end of the strings down, while Gotoh tuners hold the other and in between there is a brilliant pickguard made especially by Scratch-It. The first of many to appear on a Jooky, I fear.
So there we are - it is going off on tour and will be raffled, not sold. Lovely.

To be clear, The Gimme Shelter 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.
