Introducing Lazarus Guitars from Jack's Guitarcheology!
Lazarus Guitars are upcycled guitars that use yesteryear's best guitar parts to build new unique guitars for today's players. Often in our guitarcheological work, we will find guitar parts that just "have it." We take the best of these parts and rework, refinish and / or redo them into one-of-a-kind projects.
Each Lazarus project is themed, this one is SOME BODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME, I AIN'T THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED. But yeah, guitar looks like Shrek.
Here is the nitty gritty:
- Poplar Body & 2pc Maple / Rosewood neck upcycled from a 2000s First Act Shark. Neck has reworked frets (leveled, crowned) and the body has been refinished in Ogre Green.
- Bootstrap USA Skookum-90 HB-90. Sounds like a P-90 and a Jazzmaster pickup had a babeh.
- Wilkinson Bridge - well saddles anyway, I had to use the original bridge plate for best fit, but the saddles are from the brand new Wilkinson set.
- Rewired with CTS pots, Orange Drop Cap, White Speedknobs
- Guyker "No Line" Tuners
It is a pretty no-bs rock and roll machine, and in the mornin, I'm making waffles.
As always, we cleaned it up, polished the finish, flushed the electronics (if applicable), changed the strings, performed all routine maintenance and set the action low and smooth. All of our packages are packed tight enough to survive the apocalypse and we insure every parcel for the full purchase amount. Please keep up off the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your...face.
Got questions? Shoot me a message, I love nerding out with other gearheads!
