*About The Guitar*
If you are looking for a high end boutique guitar with tone, playability, and magical vibe this is the one!
This brand new WR model, the T-Style Crate-O-Caster, gives you the best of Vintage look with a Stylish Handcrafted instrument.
This guitar is NOT a parts guitar, everything was made by hand from a lumber piece and real old Vintage Made In America wooden crates! This is not like a guitar kit that anybody can buy and assemble, it requires intense work and great craftsmanship.. The wood from those old Made In America Crates has been carefully hand picked and chosen for stability and style.
Finished with a thin lacquer to keep the vibe and feel of an older instrument, NO polyester (a thin finish definitely helps the guitar resonate)
Unlike the others so called high-end custom shops it is truly a handmade, no CNC, only craftsmanship.
Comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity and a Hard case
