Used JJ Special - sold
#4014 - £590

Please note this JJ Jewel has a metallic blue finish, but try as we can, we can't get the pics to do it justice, so give me low marks out of 10 on my camera ability
This JJ Jewel guitar is definitely somewhat of an un-sung hero - Whilst these hand built guitars from the UK don't possesses the quality of a PRS Guitar, they are streets ahead of the mass produced guitars coming out of China/Korea as well as superior to the cheaper satin finished Gibbo's that are around today - In short for under £600 you are buying a seriously good guitar that is more than capable of holding its own in a gigging enviroment- To the customer looking for a good affordable run around to add to the collection or indeed a junior guitarist looking to move up the ranks from their entry based copy, then this JJ Jewel warrants serious consideration :- After all who else offers South American mahogany for the body and neck plus an Indian rosewood fingerboard in this price range - Add to that a milled, not monkey metal, light weight aluminium wrap over bridge/tailpiece, mounted on a pair of chunky brass post and Sperzel non locking tuners, along with a graphite top nut and the spec is looking impressive
In the neck position you have a JJ spec'd P90/Soapbar pick-up and in the position a DiMarzio mini-humbucker based pick-up - In many ways the guitar has Les Paul Special tendencies regarding both its look and tonal qualities - The two pick-ups possess a more lively tonal vibe than regular humbuckers with more bite, articulation and transparency yet with plenty of body - Smooth and warm enough from the neck to allow you to drop into chilled out jazz/blues, yet enough bite from the bridge to let you move into the Green Day or George Thorogood arenas - Condition wise, the guitar has a couple of dings on the metallic blue finish, yet overall the condition is more than fair - Great playing action and set-up with a set of 10's for a slinky feel - The neck shape fits somewhere between a nice Tele, albeit with a touch more meat on it, or a slim Les Paul neck, either way it is eminently playable
