Review:
The Rat Bait Guitar —what a fascinating creation! 🎸 It’s like the musical equivalent of a rugged, well-worn traveler with stories etched into its very grain. Let’s break down the details:
Materials and Character: The fact that it’s made from salvaged materials—roofing timber, Exmoor Spruce, and vintage furniture parts—gives it an authentic, weathered vibe. Those dents and scratches? They’re like battle scars, each telling a tale of its past life. And the beeswax finish? It’s like a warm hug for the wood, preserving its history while adding that rustic touch. 🌿
Body Specs: The Nashville Telecaster Type Body is lightweight at 1.89 kg (around 4.17 lbs). That’s great for those long jam sessions or gigs—it won’t weigh you down! The approximate thickness of 43 mm ensures a comfortable feel against your body, and the neck pocket width of 56.5 mm ensures a snug fit for the neck. Plus, that light nitro coat and beeswax finish? Pure vintage charm. 🐝
Refurbished Maple Neck: Ah, the heart of any guitar—the neck! This one boasts a 25.5" scale length, which is standard for many electric guitars. The 22 jumbo frets mean you’ve got plenty of room to shred or slide. And those pre-drilled tuner holes? They’re like little windows into the guitar’s future—waiting for the perfect set of machine heads. The modern C-shaped neck profile? Comfort all the way. 🎶
Eco-Friendly Vibes: Kudos to Rat Bait Guitars for their commitment to sustainability! Using recycled materials not only reduces waste but also gives this guitar a unique soul. It’s like playing a piece of history while contributing to a greener planet. 🌍
