Prototype Badgercaster FS

[BadgerDave]

This is a guitar I assembled last year as a prototype of what I would propose as the perfect modern Telecaster. Parts include:

Warmoth thinline (chambered) mahogany body with 5A flame Koa top

Warmoth Fatback (1" non-tapered) mahogany neck

Ebony fretboard, compound radius

Stainless steel jumbo frets

unbleached bone nut

Hipshot bridge (string-through body) Note: the pictured graphtech saddles didn't sound good on this guitar and have been replaced with the original gold plated steel Hipshot saddles)

Under 7 lbs.

Gotoh Kluson-style staggered height locking tuners

Harmonic Design Z-90 pickups with tortoise shell top bobbins

tortoise shell topped gold dome knobs

The guitar sounds HUGE! It has a few slight nicks and marks on it from changing out parts and hardware as I was tinkering with the optimal features. It also has some very slight playwear. Nothing even slightly serious.

I'll sell for about what I have in it in parts - $800.00 plus shipping.

I can add a gigbag or case if you need one for extra $

Can you tell me more about those pick-ups?

My favorite single coil pickups! Here's a great description from the man himself:

I have the HD neck pup in my badgercaster. It's very sweet; very usable.
