Sold: J Joye Roadmaster Semi Hollow £400
What's Hot
Bonjour tout le monde ! Here we have for sale a unique semi-hollow, aluminium topped, P90 equipped beauty, made by French luthier Jeremy Joye in northern France.
I bought it from
@JerkMoans of this parish, who I believe bought it from @dazzajl , also of this parish. It's been great fun while it's lasted, but it's on the chopping block as I'm looking to sell 2 or 3 guitars to fund a "turning 40 midlife crisis" splurge on something a bit special.
Specs:
Body - alder semi-hollow with center block, aluminium engraved top
Neck - maple C shape, 25.5" scale, 22 frets. Ebony 9.5"radius fingerboard, clay dots. Bone nut. Nut width 42mm (1.65"), 1st fret thickness 23mm (.826"), 12th fret thickness (0.905").
Electronics - 2 single coil vintage classic, AlNico5, 1vol, 1 tone, 3 way switch
Hardware - short bridge, brass saddles (upgraded to Wilkinson by previous owner), vintage tuners.
Finish - sonic blue, neck has an amber Danish oil finish.
It's light, super resonant and the pickups (handwound by a French pickup winder from the Calais area) are really quite nice. They have a nice P90 honkiness to them, without sounding at all as harsh and brittle as you might expect P90s screwed into metal to be!
