The Rusty Nail. I should charge more just for the mojo that vibrates within this instrument. This guitar immediately feels like it's the only guitar you will ever play. It should - she's crafted with your input. She gets attention wherever you play. This is the basic Rusty Nail guitar and she can be yours. She has a solid mahogany body, a 6 string Stonehenge™ pickup and a volume control. A leather headstock cap with a feather. The bridge cover and volume cover are East Indian Rosewood. The knob is Chechen. While I craft her, I wear a deerskin mojo bag and put sawdust, little pieces of wood & leather, a feather (from Taxi), and other elements that go into creating her. The Rusty nail sleeps inside a tweed case with a heavy cowhide/lambs wool strap, a custom wood stand, a vintage tweed cable, a brass slide, Woodshed™ guitar pick and various extras. $1800 (includes shipping) |

The
Juke Stomper is a custom Rusty Nail created for Kirk Withrow of Buckeye. She's a 5 string semi-hollow tone monster. You have to see this Purpleheart slab in person to feel the full effect. The Black & White Ebony bridge and volume cavity covers compliment the maple fretboard. Inside the unique sound hole you see Figured White Birch. The knobs are chechen. The five strings are voiced by a split Stonehenge pickup circuit with volume and tone controls. And a Varitone switch. Kirk has insane control of unlimited tone values, and he's a master of the strings... |
