Golden Era Aged Guitars

Hi Scott. We had a quick chat on fb, and I've just joined here. Finances have dictated a complete clear out of guitars, only mad bearable by knowing I will put another parts aster together once finances sorted. Your stuff looks great.  My last 3 parts casters have been MJT/musikraft but finally seem to be some good uk alternatives.  Good luck

Welcome aboard mate. Sorry to hear about your clear out but hopefully it’ll be worth while once we get a build sorted for you

Just caught up on this thread. Your stuff is looking every bit as good as MJT to my eyes. I might be in touch about a Strat neck in due course. 

But in the meantime I'm intrigued by the Teles with strat-style edge radiuses (radii?). I've always though that would be a great idea and wondered why it wasn't "a thing"! There's a good part of me that'd love one with a Floyd and a sustainer...

Thanks very much bud. I really appreciate that

Well, luckily I’ve done a contoured tele recently. Looks bloody awesome! And yes, it can be routed for a Floyd too

Yeah, see that with non-Tele pickups would be wicked... And not something any major manufacturer has ever done, is it?

@stickyfiddle  it’s definitely into custom territory. Nothing is impossible I suppose but it obviously comes down to costs and timescales etc. It would make for a pretty cool and unique piece though

I’ve been flat out as usual but I’ve been taking pictures of my work for reference. If you guys need info on anything just let me know

Love the look of that 'blackguard' tele.  What's the story there - body, neck etc. ?

Thanks mate. They’re pre sold and off to France tomorrow.

Ash butterscotch (custom mixed shade), amber tinted 9.5” C neck (all frets levelled and dressed), all hardware aged and fitted, bone nut also cut

Is it Guitarbuild body and AllParts neck?  Did you age the hardware as well?

I'm tempted to go for something similar but will have to wait till later in the year funds wise.  The AllParts roasted maple Tele necks appeal to me!

This is a particularly nice pile of alder... but yours isn’t in this bunch. Now, the delivery coming next week... perhaps

You would certainly be crying if you could see how much work I have to do!
