i just had to vent (in a good way).
thanks to some extreme kindness from a guy on fretboard called jookychap(who builds guitars)i will soon be receiving one of his guitars for nowt (yes i couldn't/cannot believe it either 😯
story here http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/very-kind-generous-people-you-have-metinternet-etc
have been looking up info on the guitar from his web page http://jookyguitaremporium.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/The%20668%20One and the guitar is going to be very different to anything i have ever had before (to put it mildly 😉
the only 2 pics i can find of it
the body

and the pick up [img]

the guitar basically will be a tele esquire type guitar but with a 3 way switch.
the neck will be a strat type flame maple/rosewood finger board.
it will have a wilkinson trem with steel block.
oh and the string gauge will be 13-68 😯 tuned A to A (baritone).
i just cannot believe my good fortune tbh 😀
i have offered him some money towards the guitar,but he insists he doesn't want payment 😯
i am going to send some money to the fretboard forum (if you click the original link,it will become clearer this story hopefully) as well as to charity.
am just over the moon tbh and cannot thank jookychap enough for his kindness,it has made my year tbh 😀
pics and video unboxing when the guitar arrives 😉
Nice... Interested to see more pics of that finish, pretty interesting. What colour scratchplate?
ah apologies it's a black esquire scratchplate
split kluson tuners i forgot to add also.
i just cannot wait to play the guitar (just need to learn some dropped A to A tuned riffs 🙂
That looks like it'll be good, I've always fancied a go on a baritone guitar, but never laid my hands on one.
Excellent story. The world is a slightly better place which is a great thing
Good things happen to good people, and you are always positive, supportive and enthusiastic on this forum...fair play.
Enjoy the guitar mate.
well the guitar turned up on monday afternoon 😀
i love it 😀 i know it may not be to everyone's taste though 😉
a huge thanks to mark jooky for his kindness 😀
did a video of unboxing it when it arrived (will do another video to show how it sounds/bad skills permitting 😳
Do you live in a cave? 😉
Nice to do a vid for him. Look forward to hearing it.
