1959 Replica Teaburst

ExNihilo · 02-19-2009, 09:45 AM

For sale is a replica I built of a 1959 Teaburst.

South American Mahogany, Eastern Maple, and Indian Rosewood (I can't legally get Brazilian in Canada)
8.75 lbs
Accurate '59 carve
Long tenon
Bone nut
Two-way truss rod
Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish with no plasticizers (it will check very nicely)
Grover kidney bean tuners
Burst color exactly matches 9 0901 (pg. 70 in the book Beauty of the Burst)

You can find out all of the build details about this guitar here:
Wilkinson Les Paul Build

My asking price is $3,000 and includes shipping and case.

Bluesky · 02-19-2009, 12:02 PM

So you hand built it yourself, and this is only your second build?

looks good though........

ExNihilo · 02-20-2009, 04:22 AM

Thank you!

I have decided to adjust the price due to a very small cosmetic issue explained here:
Wilkinson Les Paul Build

This is a fantastic guitar that plays excellent and sounds incredible.

The new selling price is $2,200, or best reasonable offer.

Sincerely, xn

You did a great job. Congrats and good luck on the sale. Seems a shame to let it go though.

ExNihilo · 02-20-2009, 06:33 AM

Thank you Gunner. I am selling because I want to build another one with a flame top. I basically end up selling my guitars for the cost it takes me to build them. It is a hobby for me.

Hope you get what you're after. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I would love to see another build from you. If I had the cash I'd be up for it, excellent work ex.

Wow. That's near! About 30-minute drive to Hamilton. Interested in trades for an '06 Gibson LP Standard un-chambered in Desertburst + cash? Or how much in Canadian dollars are you looking to get for it?

Wow, a 800 price drop!?

decoy205 · 02-21-2009, 08:56 PM

The finish came out fantastic man! It looks gorgeous. I hope you get a quick sale.

alk-3 · 02-23-2009, 01:34 PM

I cannot believe this is still here. I've handled this guitar myself (helped out with the finishing) and this is a killer guitar guys. Someone snatch this one up!

ExNihilo · 02-23-2009, 03:10 PM

Wow, thanks Tom that is a nice compliment. I was just recording some sound files today so I hope I can upload some for you soon.

Droog · 02-23-2009, 03:46 PM

I'm a plaintop dude myself.......Oh dear, it sure looks nice.

ExNihilo · 02-23-2009, 09:16 PM

OK here is a sound file of the guitar. I recorded it using the different pickup positions as well as different amp models (various distortions etc.) Every guitar on this track is this 59 replica listed here.

It's an MP3 so make some allowances for sound loss please. Anyway, this should give you an idea of some of the sounds you can get with it.

Anyone want to make an offer? I would really like to start building another one. :-)

collisi0n · 02-23-2009, 10:47 PM

that is beautiful...

i really wish i could make some money i could buy this thing!

jimmyq · 02-24-2009, 07:26 AM

Beautiful guitar. It looks like you are a very skilled craftsman.

Good luck with the sale!

ExNihilo · 02-24-2009, 04:27 PM
