Nashville‑Style Telecaster ncoming.

Nashville Barnwood Telecaster – Rat Bait Guitars (UK) 

 🔥 A Telecaster Reborn, Not Replicated 🔥

This isn’t a factory remake, it’s a resurrection. A Tele-style body carved from reclaimed roofing timber, the remains of a battered Telecaster, and—because Rat Bait Guitars never wastes a good story—upcycled IKEA furniture given a second life.

Rat Bait Guitars builds instruments with history in the grain. Scars become character. Imperfections become honesty. Nothing sterile. Nothing mass‑produced. Every guitar is a one‑off, raw, soulful, and proudly UK‑built.

Nashville DNA, Rat Bait Attitude

Inspired by the classic Nashville Tele layout but carrying its own swagger.
Right‑handed, 6‑string, with a 22‑fret maple neck finished in a light nitro for that played‑in, broken‑in feel.

This isn’t a museum piece. It’s a working guitar—rough‑edged where it should be, smooth where it matters, ready for sweat, gigs, and long nights. No factory gloss. No plastic perfection. Just a solid, honest instrument with the bite and resonance only reclaimed timber can deliver.

A Guitar With Stories in the Wood

A reclaimed, eco‑minded Tele with a nod to the quirky 60s/70s Japanese builds—think Jedson, Teisco, and the oddballs that shaped a generation of players.

This Nashville‑style configuration always feels right: versatile, punchy, and perfectly balanced in the hands. It’s a favourite to assemble and an even better guitar to play—alive, expressive, and impossible to duplicate.

If you want a guitar with soul, history, and attitude baked into every fibre, this Barnwood Telecaster is it.
