Tiger Burst S
This blues machine sounds even better than it looks! This is a light weight piece of alder with a gorgeous flame maple top. I aimed for a PRS style top, yet with more of the"worn in" feel that you get with thin nitro lacquer. The neck is maple with a nice "flame" and dyed amber with a very dark rosewood board sporting 22 jumbo frets. This comes with the Buzz Feiten tuning system's bone shelf nut and has perfect intonation. The pickups are a custom wound "1 of a kind" set of Lindy Fralin Blues Special pickups with a 10% overwind. Nothing but the best hardware was used including a Callaham bridge and Grover locking tuners. Click here for more detailed info.
Vintage Blonde S
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. Click here for more detailed info.
Sunburst S
Strat style guitar with a unique pickup combination and wiring harness. The neck and middle pickups are hand wound vintage reproduction pickups by Curtis Novak and have that real "Mark Knopfler" style sparkle to them. The bridge pickup is super hot Lindy Fralin "Steele Pole" pickup with the output and character of a P90. The guitar features standard 5 way switching with a master volume, master tone and master midrange shaper. In addition, a push-pull pot is used to engage a "neck-on" switch and a mini-switch is used to achieve a series connection between the neck and bridge pickup for "tele" style tone.

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. 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. For added versatility we have included one of our Fat Tuesday active mid boost controls, which can be kicked in for guitar solos, along with an active/passive switch. The pickups are Jason Lollar Vintage Tele pickups. The guitar is fully shielded. It includes a gold hardware package, and titanium saddles. Click here for more detailed info.

Vintage Butterscotch 52 Style T
This is a special guitar. You don't see too many like this with such a pronounced and striking grain pattern. This particular piece of swamp ash has a really nice chunky tone. 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 lacquer cure for at least a full month prior to buffing and assembly. The neck is maple and dyed amber sporting 21 jumbo frets. 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. This comes with the Buzz Feiten tuning system's bone shelf nut and has perfect intonation. FYI, Feiten retrofits normally cost $139. The pickups are special hand wound set of Lindy Fralin stock pickups featuring the 1/2 & 1/2 magnets. The electronics include a master volume (with treble retention circuit), and a pretty unusual 11 detente tone control. Betcha never saw a tele with one of those before! I like the 11 detente tone control because you can lock it into a nice tone setting. Of coures, we will replace this with a standard tone pot if you prefer. Nothing but the best hardware was used including a Callaham bridge, Callaham heavy knurled knobs, Callaham polished control plate and Sperzel locking tuners. Click here for more detailed info.

Red Korina Tele
This Korina body from Warmoth looks very much like Mahogany so the customer opted for something similar to a Gibson Cherry Red. I blended bright red dye with the smallest hint of blue to come up with this color. I also used a dark grain filler to enhance the grain. The sealer was fullerplast and the top coat nitrocellulose lacquer. Click here for more detailed info.
