The Jamais Vu One is the second of our new range of Jooky Custom guitars, and is simply gorgeous. The alder body has been stained with a dark black, mixed by our own fair hands, and then partially covered with fine copper leaf. This we have distressed, it is literally in pieces about it, so that some of the black shows through. A final coat of hard wax oil means that the finish is super thin, yet still going to be there after years of gigging.
The neck is especially beautiful. A fifties style handfiller, it has a flamed maple ‘shaft’ with a beautifully dark ebony fretboard. Frets are medium jumbo and made from stainless steel with a nice flat 10” radius it is a dream to play.
From there, the pickups and wiring are Marc Ransley of Mojo Pickups’ doing, which still remain the finest Jazzmaster pickups we’ve ever played and top notch wiring, with CTS pots, Switchcraft switches and Jack and PIO caps means it should work for a lifetime too.
As if that isn’t enough, we have forsaken the traditional Jazzmaster tremolo, and gone for a genuine, U.S made Bigsby B5 and matching Bigsby bridge. Tuners are Gotoh and strap pins are Jumbo, and we can’t say fairer than that.
All in all, this is a stunning looking guitar that plays beautifully and nails all of the classic tones.

To be clear, The Jamais Vu 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.
