Tyler’caster – 1963 Custom Project
She is finished! Oct. 19th 2008 to June 18th 2009 was the length of the entire process. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and pure beauty of this telecaster. After all of the parts arrived, I drove to Nashville to have it assembled with James Hedges at Shiloh Music. Currently on the neck, is a Lollar 52′ accompanied by (soon to be) Antiquity II Bridge pickup. The plate is a NOS Fender bridge with Callaham compensated brass saddles. String ferrules are also Callaham which match with the tone plate (500k pots, tophat switch), kluson aged tuners and slotted screws. The decal went on beautifully and is virtually flawless in design compared to an original decal. There are several things that are noticeable to distinguish this guitar as a ‘custom’ and not original telecaster. However, it is closely based off a 1963 model from body shape (Brian Poe multi-piece swamp ash), hardware, neck size and of course color. This thing plays absolutely amazing, and sounds even better!
Big thank you to RS Guitarworks for painting and relicing the guitar, as well as Ethan Luck for the outstanding pictures.
