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.
