RARE Customs Telecaster Relic? Wood Masterluthier built & setup w Tweedcase
This is an Old Alder Gem I have been sitting on and started painting some 4 years ago. It’s got a thin layer of color shifting nitro. Then a sealant and some green tint were added To the clear coat nitro and that was applied very lightly too after the first layer was Reliced. Then after the second nitro skin I finished the relic job. You will be able to see how things it is should you be the lucky one to snag this. This is every bit a custom shop equal in sound looks are subjective but tone isn’t. This is a one of a kind pick guard that I personally forged from The fires of Mordor. The neck is a roasted maple 9.5 radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium polished stainless steel frets. All Gavit wiring with Custom built pups that the pole heights were adjusted to provide the best possible sound and set. Bridge at 7.4 and the neck was kinda modeled after a goldfoil sound as I had this idea years ago it seems I was just beat to the punch so I scrapped that and went with the open neck cover which makes it much more flute like and not so muddy. I have an affinity for teles I think they are the most versatile of all guitars as I can make one sound like any number of guitars or genres. 4 way switch i know die hards are gonna say it’s sac religious but I like the series option and it’s there if you want it and if you don’t you can avoid it. Three brass barrels the only way it should be haha die hards that are intonated with the Joe Barden Nickle bridge. It’s an amazing feeling of being on the right path and fulfilling a purpose. I truly believe guitars are therapeutic and I believe music has the power to heal the world. Being part of that healing or recovery is a gift and it’s one I repay by putting my heart and soul into each one of these. I have probably shortened my life span poisoning myself with a soldering gun but I love doing it. No not the poisoning but the work. When I stop doing that and start to make lots of guitars strictly for profit then I need to quit. I still need to profit to make more and pay the bills but for what you get and the trips to the ER for fume fever it’s a small price. Ok any questions or need more pics message and I will get back asap. Are you ready to reign?
