Introducing The Gimme Shelter One

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.

Sold: The Violent Chameleon One

The Violent Chameleon One has taken a long old time, but finally made it and dare we say it was worth the wait? I think we may.

Built on the shoulders of giants, the body and long tenon attached (?) neck were hand made in the UK by the immensely genius-like Grahame Pollard.

From there it went west to the Wizard that is Richard Rendell for a unique (and he has sworn he will never do it again for many reasons) Violet Flake Nitrocellulose finish. This is crazing already on the top and is quite simply immense under the lights. There is no way in the world to capture the awesomeness of this finish in a foto, but it is like an over-active glitter-ball.

The pickup is one of Marc Ransley's famous Mojo P90s and roars, whilst he also supplied the wiring loom with top notch CTS pots, PIO cap and everything else, so that should last for decades too..

Hardware is cool. We decided against Sperzels in the end and went for the Kluson three-on-a-strip-of-metal originals, which work beautifully.

The wraparound bridge is from Faber and is aluminium, the  studs are from Mojotone, and the knobs are Gretsch stylee.

To say we're excited about this one is an understatement. Not least because it will no doubt be a while until the next.

All in all, this is a stunning looking guitar that plays beautifully and nails all of the classic tones.

SOLD: The Lonesome Pine One

The Lonesome Pine One is a rather stunning pine bodied Strat with one of our special Time Stained finishes.

From the top, we took a beautiful pine Strat body and inflicted our own mayhem upon it, minor wear, dinks and other bits, before we applied a beautiful stained and waxed finish. We wanted a vibrant and zingy rock machine, and that is exactly what we got.

The pickup is a stunning Mojo Pickups' Speedbump. Based on the lovely old Kay pickups this is raw and snarly - brilliant for slide, blues and a completely different tone if you are looking to cut through. The man is a genius.

Wiring is the usual top quality Mojo fare too, for many a mile of confident enhancing motoring.

Sold: The Klondike Gold Rush One

The Klondike Gold Rush One is a rather stunning alder bodied La Cabronita telecaster.
From the top it has the coolest looking Mother of Jooky finish yet, a gorgeous USACG maple neck and a few more tricks to boot. Sperzel tuners, Hipshot Hardtail Bridge, it just goes on and on and on and then on a bit more.

The pickups are a stunning pair of Mojo Pickups Foiltron pickups, with an amazing sound based on the old Teisco Gold Foil Pickups.

These give beautiful cleans but still take the paper off the wall without blinking. Wiring is the usual top quality Mojo fare too, for many a mile of confident enhancing motoring.

Sold: The Marksmen One

The Marksmen One is a rather groovy Swamp Ash bodied Jazzmaster, with a stunningly cool Mother of Jooky, pearl finish, along with an aging and scuffing that your average kerb crawler would be proud of.

There are minor dings-a-plenty, but all part of the shabby yet chic vibe.

The neck is from Warmoth and is a lovely handful, maple rosewood and oiled and waxed to give a fine feeling in your mitt.

Fender AVRI Jazzmaster tremolo and Mustang bridge are cool as ever, and a set of Sperzel Trim Lok tuners mean life will always be predictably un-atonal.

As for the noise, we have gone for a set of the quite beautiful Mojo Jazzmaster Pickups.
Joining the dots we also have one of Mojo’s top notch wiring looms – CTS pots, Switchcraft this, PIO that, which will last for aeons.
