Waterslide Guitars S-Style Coodercaster
Price $2000
Purchased new in 2022 - minimal use and always kept in case
Waterslide Guitars S-Style Coodercaster, Aged Sunburst Nitro w/ Maple & Rosewood Neck, Mojo Lap Steel & Guyatone-Spec Gold Foil Pickups Made in the USA, this guitar features a lightly aged Sunburst Nitro Lacquer finish on a lightweight Alder body. The Maple neck & Rosewood fingerboard has a 50’s Soft V-C profile (.86") and a 25.5" scale length that's 1 11/16" at the bone nut with a 10" radius and 6105 frets. Tuners are vintage-style Klusons.
The bridge pickup is a Mojo Lap Steel Pickup which is very fat sounding with tons of sustain and punch. These are uniquely sensitive pickups which nail the vintage character and tone of the original design. Primarily used by slide players like Ry Cooder, Jason Isbell and Blake Mills, these Lap Steel pickups have a special magic with open tunings and bottleneck playing.
The neck pickup is a Mojo reissue of a Guyatone-Spec Gold Foil pickup from the 60's. It has a bit more midrange warmth than a Teisco-spec gold foil with great string definition and warmth. It holds its own with the Lap Steel pickup and provides a nice complement & contrast to the bridge pickup, tonally.
The bridge is a vintage-style trem with a steel block and saddles. There’s also VIPots audio taper pots, a PIO cap and cloth covered wiring, Pure Tone jack, metal switch tip and vintage knobs. The Firestripe pickguard ties it all together.
Great parts and great care go into these guitars and this one comes in a hardshell case.
