Introducing the summer of 2023 Glas Custom collection, focusing on pre CBS classics from 61'-64'.....
Custom hand finished and heavy relic Vintage 2 piece Ash crimson burst USA fender tele, with maple neck. With fender vintage tolex hardcase.
This is a riff on a 64/65 pre CBS style tele, completely hand reliced hear in LA. This started life as a 94 US standard that has been completely striped, rebuilt, rewired and hand relic’d inside and out.
Rare 2 piece ash body has a gorgeous translucent candy apple “crimson” burst finish (or what left of it!) that has been sanded from 400-5000 grit to achieve a lush Matt finish. Heavy relic work through to the gold metallic, right to the wood. Every metal piece to the last screw has been relic’d with attention to detail, inside and out, finished with a 3 ply parchment guard
Best of the best components used, with the axe sporting full vintage wiring but with modern grounding. A Lollar 52’ flat pole bridge pickup and a vintage 90's US standard Hot rod edition in the neck. This thing sounds unbelievable. Set with a double stacked delta tone CTS system with treble bleed. One area of poetic license has been applied to the bridge, using a modern ash tray fender for true modern functionality and playability, but with compensated vintage brass barrel saddles for that classic look and feel and tone.
Modern 9.5 radius C maple neck has hand rolled med jumbo frets that have been low profiled for a fretless feel with modern functionality. Dressed ,crowned and polished. Full relic neck has a satin amber nitro finish and the relic styling has been modeled on a real 62 pre cbs Jaguar. The satin nitro finish is taken from 400-3000 grit sanding and feels superb. Bone nut is hand finished and the headstock has vintage kluson machine heads, with a single string tree.
Guitar plays like butter and if you like relic work, really pops in this rare finish. Perfect weight at 8lb dead and rings like a bell And screams plugged in. Set low lose and super fast.
Comes with a redlined relic’d fender black tolex case. One of one guitar, won’t find another like it. Countless hours of work and love has gone into this killer tele.
Marked as excellent as most components are brand new, but it is a heavy relic.
