Our Quality Custom Guitars are made to order with each individual customers wants in mind. If you
want a quality hand finished and assembled Fender Style Guitar with Quality USA fittings and Set up, then drop us
a line or contact me directly. While Custom shop guitars set you back $4000 plus, not to mention the waiting time,
our price averages at about $1800/$2500. (Don't pay for a mass, produced product)
We offer USA Woods
(one and two piece), be it Alder or Ash. Each Guitar takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks to complete and the body can be
even more contoured if you wish. Once you decide on a Strat, Tele or Bass style, choose the colour &
finish. Choose the hardware with 100's of choices (ie Grover, Schaller, Wilkinson, Kluson ,Gotoh, bigsby, hipshot etc,
etc.) Your Choice of pick-up too (ie Seymour Duncan, Lace Sensor, TV Jones, Fender, EMG etc etc)
Don't
settle for a mass produced factory produced product with poor hardware and zero setup, our customs are hand finished all the
way, with you the customer in mind. Give us a call,
Cheers Mark
This Custom Tele has a new control design unlike the traditional tele plate.
This Guitar also features USA TV Jones powertron pick ups. ( now popular with John Mayer and Keith Urban). Great tone
and versatility.
