The latest creation from the Bravewood workshop, a very nice ‘59 style T type in a faded sunburst with maple one piece neck...
Completely hand made in the Bravewood workshop, the guitar features a lightweight
alder body, finished in a very cool distressed faded nitro-
Both body and neck are meticulously and accurately aged and distressed, as usual with a Bravewood guitar, absolutely no power tools are used for distressing, every chip of paint, dent and scratch are placed individually....and there’s plenty of checking, chips, dents and buckle rash. The plastic and metal parts are aged to suit...but not overdone as many can be. The hand made/hand aged guard is the single ply 8 hole type.
The hardware is vintage correct throughout, from the stamped metal bridge plate with threaded saddles to the ‘Kluson’ style Gotoh tuners. Correct thickness neckplate and control plate are used, along with aluminium knobs, as would have been used at the time.
Seymour Duncan Antiquity ‘55 pickups are fitted...and sound great, the bridge is nicely biting without being shrill, the neck pickup is warm but not muddy. Together the classic T cluck is here in abundance...These are wired through vintage style CTS pots and a CRL 3 way switch, they are wired for standard T operation...bridge/bridge neck/neck. The cap is a new old stock Sprague 0.022...A Switchcraft jack is fitted to ensure years of trouble free service.
The guitar is lively and vibrant, harmonically rich and complex sounding, shoulder friendly at 7lbs 1ozs, long gigs would be a breeze with this plank...!
Overall a lovely guitar, plays beautifully, looks stunning (the pics really don’t do it justice) and would make a fine addition to anyone’s guitar collection. If this was a factory made boutique guitar, by one of their fashionable builders...this would be hanging on the wall of some music shop for 10 grand. Fortunately you don’t have pay that...this is £2,350 including an ABS hardcase...
