Over the years since they made Nobody Said It Was Easy many people have asked the band how they got the guitar sound that defined the record. Of course, the most important component was who’s playing the guitar. That aside, Haggis and Dave believe they have come up with an instrument that embodies the tone, playability, and vibe of the instruments they actually used, both on the record and live during the classic period of the band.

Each guitar is hand crafted and has been made in a limited edition of 10. The body is made of solid swamp ash. The neck is maple with jumbo frets, a 7.5 c-profile, and (as with the original) a no-logo headstock. She features a Gretsch Filtertron pickup in the neck position, and a hand wound, hand dipped, custom single-coil pickup at the bridge. The entire guitar, including hardware, has been reliced to resemble the notoriously battered telecaster that Haggis played exclusively from 1989-1992. Each instrument is signed by both Haggis and Dave under the neck plate, and is individually numbered.

Haggis – “My original telecaster was stolen from a repair shop in Manhattan in 1995. After years of tinkering, this is the absolute best we’ve managed to come up with. The prototype for these is now my favorite guitar. When I went back to the luthier to order a spare, I thought, why not make 10 more and let the diehard fans have an opportunity to rock out too? If you want to know how it sounds, think of the opening chords of Rockin’ is ma Business, or the wailing solo at the end of Somethin’ Good.”
