Another Flutney guitar with B Bender installed. This dark blue PartsCaster is a really nice guitar. A Nashville setup with 3 pickups and 5-position switch. Features include front and back binding on the ash body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, sealed Fender style tuners, and a tortoise pickguard. A sweet guitar that’s put together to create a very good workhorse for both live performance and the recording studio.
Features:
— hot Alnico 3 type neck pickup
–hot Wilkinson Strat middle pickup
— Standard Alnico 3 neck pickup
— 5-position switch and control plate
The 5 position switch setup offers lots of tone variations on an otherwise simple guitar. The B-Bender mechanism works smoothly and it’s easy to tune when restringing. This is a clean guitar. Some of the photos seem to show imperfections in the finish, but that’s sunlight in the photo, not from the guitar’s finish. It’s a deep, dark blue with a sort of translucent finish. The maple neck has a “middle of the road” feel–not round like vintage necks, but not super flat like modern rock necks. The fretboard has a flatter radius than the older Teles. It’s a good looking, solid guitar and plays great.
Guitar is medium weight, approx 7 lbs (3.5 kg). It’s slightly heavier than some of my others, but not nearly as heavy as a Les Paul. You can still play this one all night without trashing your neck and shoulders. No hard-sell… you either like it or you don’t. If you know about B-benders, you already know how cool this guitar is. If you don’t know about B-benders, check ’em out. I’m selling these prototypes in NZ only. I don’t make very many, so you won’t see many of them around.
B Benders are not for everyone, but if you’re a guitar picker who wants to head away from the crowd, you might want to check them out.
