Regular price $0.01 Save $-0.01Custom build Deluxe 901 - SOLD OUT - Contact us for a Custom order
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.

The guitar of choice for legends like Gene Autry and Neil Young, it’s the perfect guitar for any discerning collector or musician. Nothing says you’ve arrived like a D-45. The Sitka Spruce top on this guitar is meticulously hand inlaid with abalone as well as along the Indian Rosewood back and sides. No expense was spared when crafting this instrument from the bound headstock, gold hardware, and abalone Martin logo to the bound Ebony fretboard and abalone hexagon markers. An upgraded JourneyTek EP001K passive piezo pickup was added due to the failing factory pickup. The top of this guitar does exhibit some small dings, but they're minute and very hard to photograph. This does not effect the playability of this guitar whatsoever. Hardshell case and owner's booklet included.

1966 Casino E-230TD Sunburst w/ HSC
S-851675
Regular price $8,200.00 Save $-8,200.00This 1966 double pickup vintage Epiphone E-230TD Casino is a fine example of a guitar that made remarkable history with many period bands of the 1960's including the Beatles. After the introduction in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with all the new Gibson guitars. This great example has a double bound all maple body with the early production warm faded cherry sunburst finish, f-holes, and a bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard with parallelogram inlays. The CTS pots date to 1966 with a code of 1376631. It is equipped with two P-90 pickups with chrome covers, trapeze tailpiece, and Kluson Deluxe tuners. This one has the sought after large headstock and includes a newer hard shell case. It plays and sounds great and has the period lacquer checking throughout. The original early soft cherry sunburst finish on the face is faded beautifully to a warm burst and the rear walnut color looks rich and attractive as well. It is a great piece of rock 'n roll history, ready for a collection, studio work or gig time. The Casino was adopted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used one to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. Howlin' Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the UK, appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. Paul McCartney purchased his Casino first, loved it, and then John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos and used them on the Beatles' 1966 world tour. John elevated the use of his Casino more than the others, using it on many records and videos, then later stripped the sunburst finish and played it on the roof concert sporting the natural wood look. The casino was his most famous instrument while in the Beatles.

2007 SB-1 Standard Aged Cherry Sunburst w/ OHSC
S-20071121954
Regular price $989.00 Save $-989.00The Taylor Solid Body has been designed from the ground up to create a playing experience that is totally new and unique, yet unmistakably Taylor. The culmination of years of guitar building knowledge and innovation has resulted in an exciting blend of technology and tradition. Less weight is the sole motivation behind most solid bodies that are chambered. Taylor's primary motivation is tone, utilizing chambers to not only lighten the body weight, but also to create the optimal tonal "bloom". The flame Maple top is inlaid into the Mahogany body, allowing for a defined edge with binding and contours up to that edge. The SB-1's Mahogany single bolt precision neck and Ebony fingerboard feature Taylor's hallmark playability and adjustability thanks to it's satin finish and medium c profile. Two humbuckers, specially designed by David Hosler at Taylor, balance the sweetness of a vintage pickup with the power to drive an amp without being super hot. A five position switch unleashes old and new tones; 1 full neck humbucker, 2 inside coils of both pickups in parallel, 3 full neck pickup with inside coil of the bridge pickup, 4 inside coil of each pickup in series, and 5 full bridge pickup. Lastly the all aluminum bridge solves the intonation drift and ergonomic problems associated with other electric bridges with players able to lock the saddles down once adjusted. Specification booklet and original Taylor branded hardshell case included.

Hollowbody Standard SE Piezo Dog Hair Smokeburst w/ Case
HBPEIBDH
Regular price MSRP $2,141.00 Sale price $1,499.00 Save $642.00The SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo features an all-mahogany body with hollow construction for a warm, resonant tone. Boasting 58/15 LT “S” pickups and an LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, the SE Hollowbody Standard Piezo provides musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric tones in one instrument. Additional appointments include a 22-fret wide fat neck, bone nut, and PRS adjustable Piezo stoptail bridge.
The instrument is designed with two discrete volume controls (magnetics and piezo) and output jacks (magnetics and mix/piezo). Players can plug into the “Mix/Piezo” jack and use the individual volume controls to blend the 58/15 “S” pickups with the piezo’s acoustic tones. Alternatively, players can plug into the jacks separately, so the guitar can run magnetic pickups into an amp and run the piezo through an acoustic amp or DI into the soundboard. When using the magnetic output jack in isolation, the piezo battery is bypassed completely, acting as a failsafe (in this scenario, the magnetic pickups still work even if the piezo battery has run out of juice). Original hardshell case included.

Custom Shop '59 Reissue Relic Precision Bass w/ OHSC
S-R34660
Regular price MSRP $4,850.00 Sale price $3,950.00 Save $900.00Since 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.
