Basses

Since 1951, the Fender Precision bass has made its mark in practically every genre of music imaginable.

The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Relic Precision Bass pays tribute to the landmark Precision Basses that put Fender on the map in the studios and stages, with accurate detailing including electronics and hardware - from the split humbucking pickup to the vintage tuning machines and bridge. The chrome bridge and pickup covers were included to further the authenticity of this Custom Shop build.

In 1959, Fender added the Rosewood fingerboard and then the Tortoise shell pickguard to the Precision Bass. After the Rosewood slab board was added to the production of these basses, Fender decided to use up the remaining gold-anodized aluminum pickguards before switching to the Tortoise Shell gards, waiting to be introduced. This very short period of time has become a highly collectable version of the Precision Bass, only lasting for a few months. This is the Custom Shop tribute to this highly collectable Precision Bass.

This beauty is an USA Custom Shop made in 2008 and played ever since. It has a real lacquer finish on it, chrome pickup and bridge covers as the original 1959 Precision had, and the vintage style bridge and tuning machines as well. The wear on this bass is relic'd wear produced in the factory Custom Shop facility by mimicking 70+ years of heavy gigging. This bass includes it's original vintage style hard shell plush lined case, owners manual and lacquer finish brochure.

The Szlag Custom Acoustic Guitars are available in two model levels, and preference options may be added to each build.

These instruments combine classic styling, body shapes that have been proven over the past century as well as the most modern breakthroughs in acoustic guitar manufacturing. We are employing torrefied Adirondack spruce tops and braces on some custom builds, to achieve that "seasoned and played in" tone in every hand crafted instrument we complete. The playability, natural tone, ergonomics and stunning woods are showcased with what we feel are the best techniques in guitar manufacturing.

Like the finest made acoustic guitars from the 1940's and 50's, the hand build process is slow and precise and we are using old school nitro-cellulose lacquer to finish these fine players instruments.

​We will facilitate additional body shapes and size requests for a custom customer build order as well. Highly figured rare exotic wood selections are offered when they become available.

​Szlag Advance Model 901 acoustic 000 Custom - MSRP $5142. Direct price $3600.

This is an in-house hand made Custom Shop instrument. This Custom Shop bass is our tribute to the 1956 Precision Bass with an Ash body finished in Vintage Two Tone Sunburst and a Maple neck and fingerboard. This bass has a custom wound vintage style single coil  pickup creating that legendary early P-Bass vintage tone and a NOS vintage paper in oil capacitor from Ukraine in the tone circuit. With a very strong and resonant voice, this bass has that open P-Bass sound heard on stage and in the best recordings throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's! Sting has used his early single coil P-Bass throughout his career. The Vintage Sunburst light relic finish looks extremely classy over the broad grain of the wood and is accentuated with the early large style white pick guard.  Original chrome covers over the bridge and pickup makes this bass look like a real blast from the past. The '58 style 4 saddle bridge used on this tribute bass ensures correct intonation and playability.  This bass, #101 in our series so far, is a limited run and includes a hard shell case.  

We are producing these as our version of vintage Fender instruments made in the 50's. 60's and early 70's. Highly sought after original vintage instruments can bring well over 10,000. and taking them on stage and into studios is a serious risk. These Custom Shop instruments are light weight, resonant and have the feel, playability and tone of the old treasured instruments. They can be used for touring and recording without the risk of loss or damage.
