Selling my early 2011 Nash S-57 which I purchased from new.
It's an Inca Silver, alder body, S type guitar, with a very comfortable medium C neck. It's perfectly balanced and lightweight. The aging makes the whole guitar feel worn in and smooth. Frets are in excellent condition (pictured). It's a pleasure to play.
The Lollar Flat Pole pickups are versatile and can drive an amp when pushed. I believe the neck and middle are 'Vintage Blonde' and the bridge is the hotter 'Special S.' Despite the bridge being hotter than the others pickups, they balance extremely well.
It has had no modifications apart from removing one of the tremolo springs which is in the case. I took the pickguard off for the first time for the photos and insured every screw went back in the same place.
A small section inside of the case has taken a bump at some point (photographed), which seems to happen commonly with these older Nash cases.
Set up with 10-46 gauge strings and ready to gig.
Weight: 7.8lbs
Nut Width: 42.7mm / 1 11/16"
Depth 1st Fret: 0.85"
Depth 12th Fret: 0.94"
Neck Pickup: 5.5k
Middle Puckup: 5.7k
Bridge Pickup: 8.0k
The guitar shop I worked in was approached to be a Nash Midlands retailer, having a store in London and Glasgow. The sales rep dropped off this and a T-63 for us to try. I was absolutely astonished when I played it and remember turning to my boss saying,'that's the best guitar I've ever played!' It stayed in the shop for a few weeks until the guitars were taken away as it was realised that Nash wasn't producing guitars fast enough at the time to warrant having another retailer. Guitars arriving into the UK were sold before they had even arrived. We were quite devastated. So we asked if we could buy these for ourselves. My boss taking the T-63 and I bought the S-57.It's the guitar that made me a better player and is very dear to me. It has been lightly gigged over the years and most recently has sat in its case for too long. I don't have enough space to be a collector, so I'm making the tough decision to let it go to a new home.
