    Posted in another reply. Two of my four main stage guitars (Tele style, Strat style, R8 Les Paul, Es 335) are Nash. S-57 and T-52... and I don't even really care for relic'd instruments. They just played and sounded better than any Fender or F style I'd previously picked up. But quality control and consistency: Picking up any two of the exact same model, one I'll love and one I wouldn't touch again, and for me it's been about one in four or one in five that I've played that I like.

    Normally nash doesn’t clear coat over the work area. That was probably a request from a customer. Most nash guitars are custom made from stores like ours. You can have them do almsot anything. And that neck shape was definitely a custom order. Normally nashes have a chunky more modern neck. Kinda close to modern Gibson 50s standard neck size. But I’m sure they would do more thin style. Just pay attention to the listing If you are looking for one. That neck is referred to as a “boat” neck. I wish you did a bit more research on these wonderful instruments. Nash is one of the best in the bizz. They have better output then any modern fender you will try. Even most custom shop fenders fall short to them. As nash are known as custom shop killers at the Chicago music exchange. Don’t let nostalgia of fender sway you’re idea of them. They are fantastic

I'd love it if he would make a Tele with humbuckers and a floyd rose (sort of like John 5 plays, although I like a single coil in the neck). Not sure how easy it is to make custom orders from them, seems like you have to look at their dealers and either go check one out that happens to be close to you or buy online from a dealer.

    I think the gloss finish over the top was a request. I have four, none have the gloss over the relicing. The writing at the tip of the headstock used to be store identifier and current number that have been sent to that store. I’m assuming GUY 4 is the same. You can always contact Bill with that identifier and he will give you the information about the order of the guitar. That overcoat over the relic is super out of character. You should definitely review another one with the C shape neck.

    I was gifted a S67 in 2014. That guitar changed my life and still does to this day. Mine has a solid ash body so it’s quite a bit heavier than most strats, and the neck profile is the D shape that’s 1.00 at the 1st fret and 1.05 at the 12th. I was never a fan of relics until that guitar came to me and now I only want that one. I loved it so much I played through the frets in just over 3 years. Tone Shop Guitars in Addisonx TX is a Nash Dealer so I had them put stainless frets on and it bends smoother than a roller skate on a greased ice rink. Every guitar player I let try it has this moment where they just go “woah”. The tone is unmatched of any other guitar I’ve ever owned or tried out, some multiple times the amount as mine. Bill Nash is also known to donate guitars to charitable causes, which is pretty cool for a small boutique guitar maker.

I don’t think the custom shop was doing that sort of thing in 08’. Apparently back in the 60s the bright colors were more popular in other countries, so fender would just spray a new finish over the existing before theyd ship them to international shop. Bill Nash kind of hopped on that train before the Fender custom shop from my understanding.

    Exactly what I was thinking. I built a Warmoth Tele with the Boat Neck years ago and it's beefy alright. Having big hands, it fills up the palm nicely and feels great. It has a Broadcaster bridge pickup, Strat style Hot Rails in the middle and P90 at the neck, so it covers the tones. All tung oil finished.

    Warmoths licence with fender says that they can not sell the headstock with any kind of branding on it... So them passing them off to Nash and then putting a logo on wouldn't fly. Fender wouldn't stand for it. You're free to put your own logo on a warmoth (I think warmoth even gives you one) .. but not over and over again for resale. I thought you might have taken the neck off to have a look at the heel. If it was warmoth it would have had a turtle in there....

    I live in WA and own an S-57 and a T-52 Nash. Nash, I believe, is still based in Olympia. For the main parts, body and neck, there are three great makers in the immediate area to them. Warmouth in Puyallup is a licensed by Fender maker, but there is also Best and USA Custom in Tacoma. Both of those makers have headstock designs that... can be creatively sanded with minimum effort into the Fender shape. There is a strong rumor as to which of those three companies Bill Nash gets his parts from, but let's say it's fairly certain that he's using one of those three companies. Lollar pickups are based out of Vashon Island WA. The funny for me about Nash guitars is I'm not really a fan of relic instruments, but the very first Telecaster I played was the best playing and sounding Tele I'd played to date. better than Fender Custom Shop, better than tens of thousand valued vintage ones I played at Emerald City Guitars. And... unfortunately I did not get that one, but when I picked up the white Strat with 57 specs I play, I found the same experience for an S style. And I did eventually find a Nash Tele that seems as good. :) But the main caveat I have to offer with these "magic" instruments that I own s that is that in trying out several Nash instruments, I only find about one in four at the most is a truly "special" one, and the rest I don't like at all. I should also note that the two I own have big baseball bat profile necks, which I love but folks who like "slim taper" or Ibanez RG slim type ones would probably hate.
