Custom Guitar - Blonde Swamp Ash "S" - SOLD

This is a true "players" guitars. The beautiful swamp ash body has a striking grain pattern, and it sounds and plays fantastic. We're talking really clear bell like tones!! A dark grain filler was used to enhance the grain. It has been sealed in fullerplast and clear coated in genuine nitro lacquer..... just like Fender used in the old days. We always let the nitro cure for at least a full month prior to buffing and assembly. The maple neck has been dyed with our own home brewed "neck-amber." The rosewood fingerboard sports 21 jumbo frets, as well as a graphite nut to promote tuning stability. We have professionally leveled, crowned and polished the frets which is something you rarely see in an "off the shelf" guitar because it is so time consuming. The fret ends have a nice bevel to them which makes it very comfortable to play. The pickups are a callibrated set of Rio Grandes ( Muy Grande bridge, Halfbreed middle, and Vintage Tallboy neck) and the electronics feature a master volume, master tone and a really cool 6 position custom varitone, as well as "neck-on" mini-switch which will give you 7 pickup combinations instead of the usual 5. Nothing but the best hardware was used including a Callaham bridge and Sperzel locking tuners. As you see from the pictures below it has been fully shielded for quiet operation, which again is something you rarely see in an "off the shelf" guitar.

Here are all the pickup combinations:

  Mini switch off Mini-switch ON
pos 1 (far right) Bridge Bridge + Neck
pos 2 Bridge + Middle Bridge + Middle + Neck
pos 3 Middle Middle + Neck
pos 4 Middle + Neck Middle + Neck
pos 5 Neck Neck

Here are the 6 varitone filters:

  • pos 3 = woman tone

  • pos 5 = midrange cut
