Here's your chance to own one of these rare jewels of vintage-inspired, modern guitar making. See below for more details and specifications.

FROM TK SMITH:

I've always been heavily influenced by Inventor/Craftsman Paul A. Bigsby. For the last few years I've been offering custom pickguard inlay for musicians who want block, or any style of lettering for their own guitar/instrument. All inlay is done by hand in our shop using vintage American made tools.

After years of modifying guitars and talking to people ''in the know'' about tone, the construction, and why my favorite pickups sound the way they do, I've decided to start building my own. I'm really happy with the results and think you will be too. We're fabricating custom guitars, necks, vibratos, doing a lot of modifications and continuing to expand our line of guitar accessories.

Our specialized pickups and other products are appropriate for any guitarist, but especially those into a more traditional type of Jazz, Swing, Country, Blues or Rockabilly. You can see, feel and hear the difference.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
