Hello Internet. I wanted to share with you a very cool custom guitar build I did over at Circuit Rider Effects. We call it “La Cabronita Exotica.” It’s a custom-built Tele-style guitar featuring a pair of Gretsch High Sensitivity Alnico Filtertrons. Every piece of wood used for this build was carefully chosen for tone and beauty. With a stunning, thick piece of figured American Flame Maple, paired to a piece of resonant, large-grained Walnut. The Walnut is chambered a good bit, making it the perfect balance of lightweight, yet resonate and rewarding to play.
The Neck is Strikingly Beautiful
The neck is highly figured, flame/Curly Maple with an exquisite Canarywood fretboard. The fretboard’s grain looks like a piece of artwork with depth and shades that tell a story. The shape is a slightly chunky modern C shape. All woods are from, cut, and crafted in the USA 🇺🇸 The entire guitar has been slowly hand-finished with gun oil. Over 20 coats were carefully applied on the figured top. The chatoyance is stunning, pictures don’t really do it justice. Fitted with big Chrome, genuine Gretsch knobs, and a matching chrome tip toggle switch. Sounds even better than it looks. Here’s a bluesy clean demo, but it excels at overdriven tones and vintage modern country tones!
