My New Pinecaster

[blimpo]

Finished it a few weeks ago and it really is fun to play. Very lively.

It has a pine body finished in vintage amber dye with a truoil finish.

The neck is a one piece Warmoth boatneck maple finished with the same vintage amber dye and nitro.
I lightly reliced it to give it that "played in feel".
Keystone pickups and Glendale bridge plate and saddles.
Here it is:

Pinecaster?
That sounds like you're from the TDPRI

Nice guitar, though.

 

[dmraco]

very nice...looks good.  the only thing that would worry me is the soft nature of pine...easy to ding...

 

[stubhead]

That's gotta be as close to a "perfect" oldie as can be. I'm a modern sort of Tele heathen - in the places I play, hum-canceling pickups aren't a option, try telling a bar owner he has to turn off his buzzy beer neons cause it "upsets my guitar, man".... :sad1: Still, I'll bet it can sound great. Lawrence pickups are ridiculous - people with a box full of pop-culture/hype-marketed pickups get irritated when they play my guitars with the $50 pickups, because they sound as good as the $150 ones, if you can play. Did you cut the body?

Great looks! However being from a country that is cursed with a great love for pine, used for everything (preferably clear coated - ever looked through an IKEA catalog?), it's not a natural go-to look for me. But it does look really good

 

[clearerphish]

Classic looks. Sharp Tele!

 

[tfarny]

Love it! Great build.

 

[m4rk0]

I like it a lot, too!!
very natural...
it does look like you need some chrome tuners though

[DangerousR6]

Pretty cool....and I bet it's fragrant too.... :icon_thumright:

 

[Tonar8352]

I like it!  Where did you get the pine body? 

 

[MUYFUE]

I'm not a tele guy, but that looks great!
I like that the body is unique, and the wear on the neck.

same question, did you make the body? If so, you de man!

:kewlpics:

 

[blimpo]

Nah, I bought the body.

The big fat Warmoth boatneck really helps the tone.

I wanted chrome tuners, but I had a set of black and wanted to keep costs down. Maybe later though.

 

[MUYFUE]

no shame.  it's a cool guit!

 

[blue313]

That came out pretty good, especially for pine!  :icon_thumright:

I like the amber color you've got on that... very nice.

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Is it a Glendale body.

 

[blimpo]

No, just the saddles and bridge plate are Glendales.

I bought the body from a guy making them on another forum.

The neck is a warmoth.
