Thinning the herd a little because I’ve had a nasty hand fracture and haven’t played guitar in months, and will take awhile to get back into it.
Aged arctic white that has become a nice cream colour. It’s a thinline semi-hollow la cabronita style body, with a Fender American Standard Hardtail Bridge. The guitar is outfitted a pair of TV Jones Powertron/Powertron Plus pickups in the neck and bridge respectively. Controls are 1V 1 T, 3 Way Toggle (Angled so its easy to use in the direction of your strum).
The body is made of ash and a heavier piece of ash was selected to counterbalance the fact that it would be a thinline guitar (to prevent the guitar from being neck heavy). The jack plate is an electro socket, which allows you to use right angled jacks with this guitar
Full rosewood Musikraft neck (tough and more expensive to acquire now after the CITES regulations). The frets are stainless steel 6105s, super comfortable and smooth to play on. The neck has a scale length of 24 3/4”, typically Gibson scale, but on a Fender style tele. Finally the neck has clay fret markers. The neck is topped off with Fender Schaller Elite Tuners with Pearl buttons as you’ll find on John Mayer’s BLK 1 strat or SRV’s strat. These are hard to find and cost a pretty penny.
All top of the line parts, I basically spared no expense when spec-ing out this guitar and decked it out in gold hardware as well. This has a better set of specs than you will find on even CS Cabronita style guitars.
As you can see, the guitar is relic-ed heavily, with heavy checking.
