SWFT GTRS Swell 2023 Strat style Yellow relic

Hello!

My name is Nick and I make guitars by hand in Ukraine.

This is my first guitar as part of the "Great Guitar Collaboration" project.

Please read the articles on my profile to know my story. There you will find an article about this particular guitar in Guitar World magazine.

This announcement features my first electric guitar, created in collaboration with the best craftsmen and manufacturers.Most of the components were provided directly from manufacturers specifically for my project. This guitar with serial number 0001 is offered to your attention:

Model - Swell

• Body - Alder 2 pieces
• Neck - Roasted Maple AAAA
• Neck radius -16''
• Headstock top - Curly maple
• Fretboard - Richlite
• Side inlay - Luminescent dots Luminlay
• Fingerboard inlay - Natural mother of pearl
• Frets - Jeskar Jumbo
• Nut - GraphTech TUSQ XL
• Bridge - Gotoh EV510T-BS
• Locking tuners - Gotoh SGS510Z
• Pickups - EMG SA Set (tribute to David Gilmour)
• Celluloid pickguard and back cover from Tinytone
• The knobs and attachment for the tremolo handle were made by hand from the parquet of my destroyed apartment by me personally
• Nitro finish
• More than 20 hours of relic work
• Straplocks - Dunlop
• Serial number - 0001/2023

Includes a hardshell case and a suede belt.

I created the instrument as convenient as possible for playing. The body thickness is 39mm, which makes access to the upper positions much easier and generally makes the guitar more comfortable. The richlite fingerboard is not subject to deformation and the hidden installation of fret feet will never create problems with the frets. Top-level locking pegs and tremolo allow maximum tuning stability.
This instrument is part of a large guitar history that began during the war from absolutely nothing thanks to the help and responsiveness of people. The relic on this guitar represents the destruction in Ukraine. I went to my destroyed apartment in Kharkiv, tore off several parquet boards and made knobs and a tremolo handle out of them.This guitar is all about connections and filled with great history, it will be a great part of a collection or, conversely, a main stage instrument.
