QR Code Link to This Post
Swamp Ash vintage spec Tele body includes such features as a sharp edge radius, countersunk ferrule holes, flat jack area, routers hump, shallow pickup cavities and diagonal channel rout.
Lacquer has been kept to an absolute minimum to promote tone. The clear coats have yellowed significantly and there's plenty of complex, natural lacquer checking throughout.
The body is fully grain filled, with no primer coat. With a finish this thin and a one-piece body, you can expect increased sustain, low-end, resonance and better overall tonal response.
Note: While this guitar is comprised of all new body/neck and components, it's designed to appear aged, and as such you can expect yellowed and/or faded nitro, lacquer checking, nicks/chips/dings/scratches, blemishes, oxidation, rust, minor mods, and on and on.
The neck is a fat two-piece maple, with a dark rosewood board. At 1.0-1.0, the extra mass translates into more sustain, bass response, and thicker overall tone while still retaining that classic Tele twang.
