My Custom Relicmaster "Ready to Slide"

Here's my version of the ideal slideguitar, custom build by RelicMaster.

An Olympic White beauty, lightly relict. Matti managed to make a great guitar out of my specific thoughts and ideas.
With it's Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot set, Strings not radiused, a setup for 013 strings and Kluson Double Lines.

But the best thing, offcourse, is it's awesome sound. This is the slide sound I like. A very clear sound with a bright, punchy tone with vintage output specifications and a tight bass response. Loads of signal by it's '50 spec's neck and middle pickup and it's Hot bridge pickup. The nice heavy body has a good midrange punch and the maple neck with some bite is solid enough for my string gauges.

All-in-all, this is a superb player's guitar. One of those instruments that I can't put away ......
