TG Custom Guitars Neil Young Tribute The Horse Old Black Les Paul Made from Old Growth Barn Wood from 1880 Serial # 002

 TG Guitars Neil Young Tribute: 

The Horse Serial # 002

This guitar body was hand crafted in the USA out of a

pine sleeper beam from a barn built in the 1880’s in

Mayville, MI. The tree was estimated to be over 200

years old when cut down.  This guitar is painted with

thin coats of old fashion Nitrocellulose Lacquer.  All of

the cover plates and the Pick Guard were hand made

out of aluminum. I hand engraved the horse head,

neck plate and truss rod cover. It has Grover Original

Milk Bottle style Romantic tuning keys and a bone nut.

The Electronics are as follows:  The pickups are hand

wound from Brandonwound pickups.  P-90 in the neck

and Firebird in the Bridge.  It has Mojotone Vintage

Taper CTS 500K Pots with Military Paper-in-Oil .022

Caps.  The Micro switch when pushed towards the butt

of the guitar takes the Firebird pickup straight to the

jack, bypassing all of the controls. When pushed

towards the headstock, the guitar is setup with vintage

Gibson Les Paul wiring.  It has a USA Switchcraft pickup

selector and a Bigsby B-7.  The Bridge is a Gibson ABR-1. 

This Old Growth wood has a very tight ring pattern and

rings like a bell.
