This guy needs no introduction! Don't miss this incredible "Old Black" inspired guitar, made with every attention to detail to look like Neil Young's guitar. We started with a genuine, black, 2018 made in USA Gibson Les Paul Classic and completely transformed it to look just like the real thing. This guitar plays, feels, and sounds amazing! -USA B7 Bigsby vibrato (wire from stop bar post to ground Bigsby.) -filled Nashville bridge posts and redrilled for ABR-1, brass saddle bridge . - Frailin P-90 neck pickup w/ modified cover -HOT custom made Firebird style ceramic magnet mini-humbucker bridge pickup -Gibson "wheat stack" headstock inlay, partially blackened. -routed channel around headstock -aged gold/amber knobs - white pickup selector ring w/ yellowed switch tip -authentic patina and wear to the black nitro lacquer in all the right places with lacquer checking. -Schaller M-6 tuning machines -silver back covers and pickguard(painted plastic) including the extra mystery cover on back. -mini toggle switch that sends the bridge pickup directly to the jack -added painted back stripe(not maple inlay), half worn-off like the original -washer on strap button -peace/dove strap -hardshell case stenciled similar to the original. -hand rolled fret edges for a smooth, vintage feel (60's neck) A ton of work has gone into this to make it look AND feel like an authentic vintage Gibson...and it does! Does it sound like Neil's? Nothing sounds like Neil's, that's why it's so special, BUT with the right tube amp and pedals this will get you very close! Thanks for looking and as Neil Young would say..."keep on rockin' in the free world!" Here are some testimonials about guitars we've sold…"Love it! Custom shop at a working man's price! Thanks!!"“This guitar is incredible. Haven't put it down for hours and I doubt I'll want to pick up another guitar anytime soon. It's everything it was advertised as and Dax shipped it out immediately. The next time I'm in the market for a guitar I'm definitely going to check Dax's shop first.”“What a fantastic guitar and everything about it is exactly what I had hoped it would be. I can't get over how absolutely effortless it is to play up and down the neck and how beautifully smooth it is. You have created a truly wonderful guitar and everything about the transaction has been a true pleasure.” Thanks so very much.""I am in awe of the craftsmanship on display here in this instrument...it has such character...I fell in love instantly upon placing this beauty into my hands. The tone is out of this world, the neck pocket is precise, resonance throughout the instrument and the noiseless pickup set is spectacular. Dax is a top notch builder and his relic work is just phenomenal. I knew when I first laid eyes on this Tele it had to be mine and it's showing me everyday how true it is! Thank you Dax.""Dax , many thanks for the awesome telecaster , a first class job all the way. 100% top notch work , everything I hoped it would be is what I received.""Dax, this is perfect! Exactly what I wanted. Love it. I'll be showing it to a bunch of guys, I'm sure you'll be getting some more work from that.""Excellent relic job! Guitar came on time in good condition and well-packed. Super value!""I took a chance on using Dax& Co and I'm so glad I did! Dax took a cheap Squire Strat and turned it into an absolute Gem!! The work he did on it is absolutely amazing, my guitar now looks like a 1956 Stratocaster! The neck and fretboard are silky smooth. Great Job! Looking forward to using your company again!" "I own 12 teles including a Nash T52, various Fenders, 2 MJTs, and this guitar went straight to the top of the class. It looks killer and feels like it's actually 60 years old. Packed well, shipped fast."“That's awesome!! You do amazing work!”“I can't get the image of your last Tele out of my head. It was gorgeous! Exactly the style I'd want!”“It looks great; you did a great job relic'ing it”“I just wanted to say the guitar looks beautiful. Best relic job I’ve seen!”“Excellent!! Better than described. Plays like an “expletive” dream!! Thank you!”“Guitar is great! 100% as advertised.
