Southpa Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I finished it a while ago and I really like playing this one. Not that I don't like my other guitars but this is the new kid on the block . I was originally calling it the "Swampcaster" but a brief encounter with BL & Co. resulted in my having to change the name to "Swamp Telecaster" under threat of copyright infringement litigation. BIG Specs: ALL hardware is gold colored. Gold hardtail bridge, Gold colored jumbo frets, Gold plated jack plate, neck mounting plate and strap buttons Gold plated mini Grovers Gold plated pickup rings Brass nut Brass hex-rod fb inlays Brass/ebony side marker dots Handmade single action truss rod w/ brass adjustment nut. custom made, 1-pce. brass string ferrule plug epoxied into the body 25" scale Neck is one piece Q-sawn HOLLY, ebony skunkstripe. Sanded down to a shiny 2000 grit and left natural. EXTREMELY smooth feel, fastest neck I ever played! Aged mahogany back using that cool vinegar-steelwool-rustynail recipe. Top is bookmatched wrn. maple with matching burls. The burls and surrounding areas are painted in with dyes to resemble some strange plants. Just winging it, as it were. But it was fun to use some of the natural wood figuring for an authentic look. Pickups are Samarium Cobalt Noiseless for strat, I like 'em! This guitar is totally "open back" accessible. The pickups (strat or tele) can be changed without having to remove the strings. The cover plate is held on by magnets, they mate up with countersunk screws in the body. This covers everything, 5-way blade, vol and 2 tones, rear tone for bridge pickup. Some more pictures here: http://www3.telus.net/Alsplace/Tele3/ I originally had some Q-pounders and the fb was dyed black.

After building the Groges guitar, which was a new neck profile I experimented with I just had to build one for myself that played/felt just as good. Also after the black camo job on the Groges guitar I really wanted a camo for myself, so here it is: I just cannot get a pic of the headstock with my iphone, the mobile phone camera cannot capture the white logo over the grey paint. It is clear as in person but the pics it looks like it blends in. Edited December 13, 2011 by demonx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shad peters Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 The Nomad. This is not really my normal style of guitar, but it was a fun build though. I sketched up the concept, I think during my freshmen year at Purdue, as sort of inspired by Garcia's guitar. It had never been more than just a sketch until last spring when someone expressed some interest in the design. As a result, here it is, the first Nomad. The top is buckeye burl, and the back and neck are both Honduran mahogany. Its got a ebony fretboard, with abalone dots, and the headstock veneer is also buckeye burl. Its a pretty simple guitar, the scale length is 25", the PUPs are from GFS, bridge is a Schroeder wraparound, the binding is curly maple, 1 vol 1 tone and a 3 way toggle, and I think that's about it. Enjoy. Some of the photos came out overly saturated with red for some reason, I tried to adjust for that to get a more realistic representation but they are still a bit on the red side. you can see the other photos on my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/petersinstruments/ Completed Nomad by Peters Instruments, on Flickr Completed Nomad by Peters Instruments, on Flickr Completed Nomad by Peters Instruments, on Flickr Completed Nomad by Peters Instruments, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
