Nash
At age 15, Bill Nash began to "dabble" in building custom guitars. He then went on to spend many years repairing them. In 2001, he began Nash Guitars with all the knowledge he had gained from his years of experience. If you are looking for an affordable, well made, authentic Relic, look no further.
From the Nash Guitars web site:
Vintage goes affordable! My goal was to bring all the vintage vibe, looks and feeling at a price that you do not have to be a rock star to afford. This line also offers some of the more modern features one would want, but without sacrificing the authentic look of the originals. Years of selling, buying, trading, repairing and refurbishing countless original Fenders and Gibsons has given me unique insight into what a real guitar looks like after years of use. This analysis, along with a multitude of aging methods brings to market the most authentic looking relic guitars available (aged knobs and a woodchipper does not a relic make!). Each guitar is a unique work of art, handcrafted by me. The use of 100% nitrocellulose lacquer, high quality vintage hardware, superior woods and a wide variety of pickups and options will provide the player with the magic instrument that has thus far not been available “off the rack”. Like putting on an old pair of boots, they are just right. All guitars come with a full warrantee to the original owner for one year and 2 years of free roadside service.
