SOLD - Pittman Guitars Lawercaster™
Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2018 3:37 pm
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.
Specs:
Highly figured Okume body. Very rare to find a piece with this kind (or any) figure
Highly figured Curly Maple top
Top bound with Nitrate Ivoroid
FlameMaple neck
Macassar Ebony fingerboard. 12" Radius.
Jescar 57110 Frets
1 5/8" nut width.
.940" thick @ First Fret.
.990" thick @ Twelfth Fret.
Shape is very soft V with good shoulder in it up to about the 5th fret then morphing into a modern C shape. It's definitely a handful, but comfy.
Custom, hand milled, aircraft aluminium neck plate
Steel bridge plate w/custom milled, compensated bridge saddles
Hand milled brass string ferrule block inset into rear of body
Kluson vintage style "Double Line" safety post tuners

1 Volume Control, 1 Master Tone. CTS Pots. .33 capacitor on the tone
Electro-Socket w/Switchcraft input jack
Wired with NOS cloth "push back" wire
Black control cavity cavity covers
All hardware is nickel
Weight: 6 pounds 12 ounces
If it don't sell, I'm having a bonfire.
