SOLD - Pittman Guitars Lawercaster™

Post by MISTER NOBODY™ »

This instrument was loaned to a couple of different artists a few time for gigs or sessions, as well as displayed at NAMM, and as such, I can't (as many other builders would) in good conscience, and as a matter of personal ethics, sell it as new. Upon return, the frets were touched up, fretboard cleaned and treated with organic instrument oil (made only from the finest, ethically sourced, organically grown, crushed accordions), new bone nut installed, and the setup redone. There is less wear on it than a "new" instrument that you would find in most shops. Here is an opportunity to get a $3200.00 (or more) T-Artist a.k.a. "Lawyercaster™" for the cost of a Workingman model.

I like #1. :eek:
I prefer the solid colors though, especially the one that went to Mortatone.

Yeah, but I'm not gonna cover up a really nice piece of wood like that with a solid color.

Also, these pieces are available at the price it would cost you to commission a more vintage charactered Workingman.

Last night I gave it a run through using a Kemper Profile of a Tone King with Tim pedal in front. So many tonal options. My favorite so far is both pickups on and both with the push/pull volumes pulled to split the coils. Sounds awesome for cleans with the volumes rolled down slightly and great for sweet, singing leads with the volumes full on.

And, yeah, it's a beautiful instrument...
