Nice words..

It is always nice to hear from somebody who has taken the plunge and bought one of our Jooky little things, and more so as it is entirely unsolicited and not even a little bit prompted (ahem).

OK, I always ask if people will let me know what they think and some do, others don't but there we are.

Either way, Paul the newly proud owner of the gorgeous Mellow One had this to say, gord bless 'im:

"Stumbling across The Mellow One on ebay, it was fascination, quickly turning into love at first sight.  In the flesh, the vibe is 100% rock 'n' roll with its single humbucker and the mellow paisley finish complementing that maple neck and big 70s style headstock perfectly.  The playability is spot on and highly addictive.  In fact it's taken me 30 minutes to write this, 'cause I keep stopping to play it!  As for that BK pickup, it sounds superb, both clean and dirty - I just know the neighbors are going to agree!  The only problem is this worrying interest I'm starting to develop in paisley..."

Ah....

I Know It's Sooo Very Wrong..

I do.

I know it is wrong to self-aggrandise or generally preen in public
people hate you for it
rightly.

But Rob, the chap I had a coffee with earlier this week as I delivered The Pretty In Pimp One to him, very nicely let me know what he thought of the most off-the-planet-never-mind-wall guitar we've made to date.

What he had to say was:

"The Pimp is all I could have wished for - I love it! Great vibe, dirty sound and I think it makes me look cooler than a very cool person!"

And that is good enough for me..

Cool is as cool does...la la la

A Happy Customer - Blimey

Well, despite a minor cock-up on my part, it was nice to hear from James who bought The Psychedelic Surf One, with a few comments about the guitar. As you know, this Jooky thing is all a bit new and off-key, and the idea of making guitars from old stuff is perhaps not one everybody gets straight off, but I was really pleased to find that James indeed recognise the point and especially that he liked the guitar.

James is a busy kind of chap, playing guitar with the newly reformed Candy Filter Tip - where the Surf One will be used - as well as drumming with both The Arc of Manapples and Croak Ditch - check the links for their Myspace pages, well worth a visit or ten.

I'm looking forward to hearing Croak Ditch's album, but more on that later...

Anyway, as I say James said a few nice things and despite the shameless vanity of it all, I'll put them here. Down a bit, they're the ones in speech marks.

Ah, makes me feel all warm inside..



"Guitar has arrived! First off, it looks incredible. The finish is great, I just kind of sat and admired it from different angles for a while, it really is a thing of beauty. It plays great as well, good action, nice size fretboard, some real 'zing' on the strings.

Regarding the sound/construction etc., awesome. I've thrust it in to the hands of every guitarist I know and I'm now the subject of much envy. It sounds like sex in your face. The sustain, as you rightly pointed out, is very impressive, it's so easy to play and the output of the pickups is louder than the humbucker on my '72 Fender Tele. It sounds like a fucking train. In the best possible way. I could not be happier with #10, just owning it makes me 38% cooler. "
