Added a new guitar to the collection............I scour the usual places online for mispriced "assets" and got this brand new custom made , one of a kind for a steal in an auction. The luthier stuffed up with his starting bid and it didn't attract the interest he expected. Snapped it up for 3 figures ( a few cups of coffee a week for the next year thanks to Zip-pay) when it's really worth multiple thousands. The case, pickups and tuners could be sold for more than I paid for the whole thing. He was very close to just shafting me and calling off the sale- which I would've hated but understood - but I sweet talked him into honouring the auction result
Handcrafted custom guitar (literally all hand done with old fashioned tools over a 12+ month period) with locally sourced Australian timbers.
-walnut and silky oak body with neck-thru
- ringed gidgee fretboard
- book matched red cedar top
- Schaller strap locks
- Schaller Hannes bridge
- gold Evo frets
- tusq nut
- Sperzel custom locking tuners
- Seymour Duncan Distortion Mayhem set with coil tap plus series/parallel switch for each and speed dial vol/tone
- abalone fret markers (also the tiny ones on the neck......a nice touch and work like luminous ones you see on Ibanez Az's etc...)
- snakeskin case
Plays great and would have to be up there with my most beautiful guitars. Very thin/light weight too.
