Waterslide Guitars S-Style Coodercaster 'Nicotine White' Nitro, PLEK'd Maple/Rosewood Neck, Mojo Lap Steel + Gold Foil Pickups
Made in the USA, this guitar features a beautifully aged 'Nicotine White' Nitro Lacquer finish on a lightweight, Alder body. It's got a fully PLEK'd Maple/Rosewood neck with a 60's C profile that's .85" at the first fret, 25.5" scale length that's 1.65" at the bone nut with a 9.5" radius and 6105 frets. It has a light, slightly aged satin finish that feels great and will not get sticky when playing. The pearloid inlays mirror the body color.
The bridge pickup is a Mojo Lap Steel Pickup which is very fat sounding with tons of sustain and punch. These are uniquely sensitive pickups which nail the vintage character and tone of the original design. Primarily used by slide players like Ry Cooder, Jason Isbell and Blake Mills, these Lap Steel pickups have a special magic with open tunings and bottleneck playing.
The neck pickup is Mojo's reissue of a Teisco-Spec Gold Foil pickup from the 60's. It's the traditional choice for this style of guitar with a clear and detailed voice that provides a nice complement & contrast to the bridge pickup, tonally. All six strings remain in-phase in the middle position.
The bridge is a vintage-style trem with a steel block and saddles. There’s also VIPots audio taper pots, a PIO cap and cloth covered wiring with a Pure Tone jack. The celluloid leopard tort pickguard, metal switch tip and vintage style aluminum knobs tie it all together.
Great parts and great care go into these guitars and this one comes in a hardshell case.
