have just taken delivery of a mark jooky special guitar
;-) a million thanks to mark for his kindness would like to say first
:-)
man it's bloody fab (and most definitely a one off ;-)
am currently uploading a video of first unboxing (but it's gonna take some time i'm afraid).
he wasn't kidding about the one off finish man ;-p
the guitar itself is a hefty beast (swamp ash tele style body/flame maple-rosewood neck) the neck is faat man!
the pickup looks like something dan dare would have in his radio (a mojo handwound kay speedbump copy).
wilkinson trem with steel block
kluson split tuners
an esquire 3 way switch vol/tone pot
strung 13-65 A to faux baritone tuning (will have to find out how to tune to that tuning/cannot find anything on google with a quick look just now).
pics to come
am over the moon with it tbh :-)
Comments
Be careful though, the Jookster has a habit of posting random body parts to random people.
Enjoy the guitar.
Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
Glad it got there in the end Adam, have fun
Never before have a chair and a guitar matched retro-wise so well. The combo looks like a picture from Slade's dressing room circa '73.
Loved that guitar when Jooks put it up.

I'm hoping to meet the man in person soon !!
Believe me i owe him a fair few pints and lunches
(It'll make more sense when I remember to tell @racefaceec90 that I painted over the plastic on the scratchplate and he needs to take it off
Happy NGD racefaceec90 - enjoy
Yeah, sorry. I should've said nothing. Especially after re-reading and seeing all the comments about Jooky being such a nice guy.
I could just see Mark D Phillips putting something like that up, and the huge line of forumites waiting to kick him for it!
Ultimately If raceface90 is happy with it. That's all that matters.
A belated Happy NGD!

In truth the guitar was something I'd used to try a few things out. The pickup is a prototype i wanted to try - and glad I did as it sounds amazing - ICBM turned me on to the faux baritone thing and the 'finish' was a mix of a few things I'd been concocting. You can't tell from the fotos, but the glitter is fierce and the purple is opalescent. It's nice some people like it, but everything is a matter of taste (or lack of), so each to their own Tis all cool
