Believe it or not the objective
for this build was to recreate a rosewood tele for me to use as rhythm guitar
in the band The Solo Beatles
Whlst looking for a nicely
grain figured body I fell in love with a body offered by Mark at MJT
Custom, and the Swamp Thang was born.
This is a professionally
built guitar using a premium One Piece Swamp Ash body cut to vintage T-style specs by Wildwood Manufacturing in California, and finished with an aged vintage 100% nitro lacquer Tobacco Sunburst by Mark Jenny of MJT® Aged
Guitar Finishes
Neck is finished in aged 100% nitro lacquer, with all metal parts and pick guard
also professionally aged.
The guitar is fitted with
a Bare Knuckle ‘Stormy Monday’ humbucker at the neck and ’55 Blackguard’ pickup
at the bridge.
Finally the guitar has
been fret dressed and professionally setup with a low and very playable action.
The tone from this guitar
is incedible unplugged and has to be heard
