Whistling Past The Graveyard

Whistling Past The Graveyard

I have been busy as usual, and now I have nearly finished Whistling Past The Graveyard 1.

Final photos are here.

This is a solid body 4 string slider with frets. The body is made out of my trusty crosses from the graveyard… spooky.

The neck is straight through. The wood has a few blemishes, but then again, it’s been down the cemetery a while…. It’s extremely sturdy.

 

Details:

  • Body: Oak
  • Neck: Ash
  • Fretboard: Ash
  • Scale Length:635mm
  • Frets: 22, medium
  • Pickup: Humbucker (2 cable), black / ivory, 16,2 kOhms, zebra
  • Nut/Bridge: 4mm aluminium
  • Tailpiece: Aluminium
  • Machine Heads: Economy but good machine heads as used on travller guitars
  • Weight; approx. 2,3kg
  • Other Details: Volume control, strap pegs, fret markers, strings earthed through hole under bridge
  • Finish: oil
  • Strings: D’Addario, .013, .017, .026, .036, nickel wound (open G at the moment)

I tested the sound over the pick up this afternoon – jesus it’s a high output machine! Of course sound clips will be online when it’s finished (next few days).

As always, this guitar is all handmade. This is a unique guitar, a one off. Any other guitars I build on this direction won’t be the same. It’s easy to buy a guitar off the shelf; but with this guitar you’ll have something no one else has and it’s great for recording and live gigs!

SOLD.
