!! I just completed this beauty and thought I would list it for sale before I get too attached. Based on a 1951 Fender Esquire. Custom milled 51 knobs, string tree, jack cup, and steel saddles. This guitar is amazing . My favorite so far. Resonates unbelievably. Weighs in between 6.5 and 6.8
Super comfortable soft V neck with a 9.5" radius with 6105 Medium Frets.
Swamp ash, solid maple neck with maple truss rod plug. Tadeo Taper, Dowel marks, D stamp, All details are accounted for.
This one has seen the wringer. Some of the wear marks are based on the famous 0514 Nocaster made famous by Bill Hullett.
Switch is not functional. Being that its only one pickup, i wanted a very unforgiving guitar. What you put in is what you get back out!
Great player. Setup and ready to gig or just relax and enjoy!
Thanks
Jeff

Never seen freetwear like that on any guitar I've played in the past 50+ years. Go back and do your homework before you try to recreate real fretboard wear.
Just sayin". |

Haha probably because you play a poly guitar.
My “homework†is beyond thorough. I don’t put that much work In for nothing.
Thanks for the contribution.

Here is my '67 smugglers fretboard, looks similar. Ok Jeff's has more "scratchiness" mine is smoother but it's a similar look. Nice job! |

I have some vintage Fenders and this looks pretty spot on to me.
I've recently taken the Bluegrass vow of Poverty or I'd be all over this one, looks great Jeff!

Thanks guys for the support! It truly means the world to me. Especially in this business where everyone can "relic" a guitar.
I ended up keeping her as my main player. Truly a wonderful guitar.
Thanks !
