Sold: The Old E One

The Old E One is dedicated to a ramshackle pub that is probably no longer there. It is smothered in rust and looks aged beyond it’s years, and is of course a complete one-off.

Here in Jookyland we’ve always loved out single pickup Strats, and the Gretsch humbucker in this gives a great collection of tones, from beautiful crisp cleans all the way to full on fuzz. Simple to use it still has a lot going on and a beautifully quick neck means that you can make the most of it.

The finish is of course one of our classic rusted iron jobbies, where an active iron paint has been tortured with a home brew concoction of noxious gubbins, before being stabilised and then lacquered. The effect this gives is almost 3D and varies between fire and a beautifully figured wood, depending on your perspective and the light hitting it.

To be clear, The Old E 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.
