What Are Nash Guitars All About?

Here is his site...(http://www.nashguitars.com/).. he gets parts, mainly I think from Fender aftermarket people like Warmoth I hear, and assembles his guitars himself. He lives in Washington state. He puts in pickups like Lollar pickups and some others good pickup manufacturers... I bought a guitar that shall remain nameless with Lollars, from ANOTHER guy who put together his own guitars, and used Lollar pickups on his guitars also... and it was a very poor guitar indeed...I sent it back... so it is not
necessarily all about the pickups, it's also about who is putting the guitars together...however, Mr Nash has a way of working magic, and all his guitars truly resonate and some are truly amazing. Some claim this is due to the nitro on all his guitars being so thin... some say if they got a guitar and put no paint on it at all it would also resonate...I disagree... Mr Nash can work magic. If he doesn't like a neck, he will (I hear) take it off the guitar and try another from off the wall of his shop, until it 'works' for him. His guitars go for about $1700.00 apiece. Fender does not allow him to call them telecasters, or stratocasters, or use the word 'Relic' when describing them, so Mr Nash refers to them as 'T' series, 'E' series, and 'S' series guitars. He also does not apply any decal to the headstock, and instead leaves that up to the owner to do. He ages them to various degrees. If
you have $1700, buy one, if you have $2900, buy a Linhof (the necks play better and feel better for my mind on a Linhof, Mr Nash has only done a good job with his Rosewood Necks... those actually do play very well...his Maple necks feel 'sticky', and look a little 'gummy'. The shape is good, but as I say, sticky feeling.If you have $4800, get a John Cruz Masterbuilt Fender Tele (along with the Linhof and a Nash!).
If you have more... as I have recommended before... get a Jeff Beck Esquire or Andy Summers Tele from Fender... they are
the very best...and hey... for those artists who think other artists will not play these guitars... John Mayer is playing a Jimmy Hendrix Tribute guitar from Fender, on page 41 of Vintage Guitar Magazine... who cares what it 'is'... it's all about HOW IT PLAYS!
