Custom Built Heavy Relic 50's (Nitro) Surf
Custom Built Heavy Relic 50's (Nitro) Surf Green Over Tobbaco/Sunburst Telecaster. The pictures really don't do the guitar justice. This guitar has been built from scratch and hasn't been any other guitar. I have meticulously relic'd and aged this guitar to simulate 60+ years of gigging in smoke filled rooms and bars where it has received knocks, bangs,dings, scratches and natural wear and tear. The chrome hardware has also been aged so that it is in keeping with the rest of the build. The pickups used are Fender Squier Standard so that it keeps the cost of the build down, I have always found that these pickups sound very good and do not need changing, but if you want to change them to your desired pickups at a later date you can always do so. The neck pick up has been wired reverse phase, but if you don't want this I can wire it back. I can also add a micro switch to the control plate so that it can been switched between normal and reverse. For an extra £ The scratchplate has been aged and worn to replicated where the plectrum has come into contact with it over countless years. The body is made of Alder wood. The weight of the guitar is 7.5lbs. The action is low and the intonation has been set. The frets have been re-skimmed, fret dressed and polished The strings are Ernie Ball 9's. I can't show the decal due to trademark infringement, but the decal has also been aged. If you want to see the headstock give send me a text on and I'll text you the picture.
