Custom Guitar - Candy Apple Red "T"

This is a one of a kind T style guitar finished in a striking Candy Apple Red (CAR) finish done right. The CAR finish has a gold base with a prominent metallic flake. The paint used is extremely high quality and very expensive. It has a thin urethane top coat (and I do repeate THIN) layed down with a very high quality gun. This is not a vintage repro in any way shape or form!! We're talking serious tone and versatility here. The pickups and primary electronics are entirely passive, however for added versatility we have included one of our Fat Tuesday FT800 active mid boost controls, which can be kicked in for guitar solos. If the battery dies for some reason there is no problem whatsoever, because the guitar still functions perfectly since the pickups and primary electronics are passive. The j-bass style knob on the left controls the Fat Tuesday midrange boost. The mini-switch next to it is an active passive switch. The guitar is fully shielded. It includes a gold hardware package, and titanium saddles.

 

Close-up of detailed fret work. Fret ends have been beveled. There are no sharp edges (a real pet peave of mine), and the frets have been leveled, crowned and polished to an incredible shine. The guitar plays like a dream!!
