| We are the original dealer for luthier Bill Nash’s Relic Series guitar - they are by far, in our opinion, the best quality for the price - they really have the look, feel, sound, and vibe of an old guitar. These are not Fenders and Nash has no affiliation with themhe gets Fender-licensed necks and bodies and does his own version of the “Relics”. To custom-order a guitar with specific pickups, necks, etc., you need to order directly from Bill - he builds guitars on a regular basis to sell through our shop for customers who don't want the 6 - 8 month wait from Bill - and the ones we're selling already have what many want. Below are guitars Bill has sold through our shop, to give you an idea what he builds. Please Note: The guitars shown on this page are all sold - to see what's currently available, see our Electric Solidbodies section. |

| Bill Nash T-63 Tele style, shell pink, all aged and relic'd to perfection, really looks like a $20,000 custom color old original Fender. Has super premium feather-light weight swamp ash body, "C" neck on the slightly bigger side, 22 big jumbo frets with flatter Gibson-type radius, DiMarzio "Twang King" and Pre B-1"pickups (Bill's favorite pickups, period). This Tele screams and look very cool, one of the very best "T-63" styles we've had yet from that mad genius. View back |

Bill Nash Relic'd "Telecaster Custom" style Bill made exactly two of these and that's it. We got the decal for it (it was way too cool not to have it). Slightly aged Olympic White, big neck with medium/jumbo frets, lightweight, got to hear this to believe it. I think Bill's keeping the other one...

Bill Nash "Tele Thinline" type Relic'd sunburst on very lightweight ash, Nash's "Thlnline Special" with abbreviated pearl pickguard and traditional aged metal control plate, very cool look. Rio Grand "tall boy" pickups, 21-fret neck with Dunlop 6105 "tall narrow" frets, 12" radius. He's only made a few of these, and they're very cool.

Bill Nash relic'd Tele style All aged and worn and has worn covered pickup in neck position. Very lightweight swamp ash body, Mary Kay blond, thick slab rosewood fretobard. One of the spunkiest nastiest Tele types I've ever heard - pickups *perfectly* copliment each other. This guitar really does the wild thing - big time.

Bill Nash "Esquire" Relic type Worn Fiesta Red, soft "V" (Clapton) neck shape, but not skinny or small - nice. Has special pickup switching: lead position is pickup routed directly to output; middle position connects tone control; neck position on switch connects to a hidden pot, which is turned up or down with a set screw on the back of the body (see photo) that fattens up the sound - really clever. Has a Dimarzio pre-B-1 pickup (Nash's personal favorite pickup on his guitar), and tall narrow frets (6105?).

Bill Nash "Broadcaster" relic type electric Another killer from Bill, this is feather-lightweight swamp ash, neck is big but not huge like the last one, really has a cool vibe - played acoustically, it has an amazing amount of volume and "spank" (we like that...), a tone-monster. Bill does NOT decal his guitars, but Phil couldn't resist and found a "Broadcaster" decal (from the tooth fairy). This is an amazing guitar.

Bill Nash Relic '57 style guitar Just came in, Bill does the best relic vibe, feel, sound that we know, for really reasonable prices. This has medium jumbo frets, alder body, the worn sunburst mimics lacquer checking where godies de-laminate and crack (center of the body from the strap button out), but, of course, there is no crack there - just looks old... Great feel, comes with Fender hot wound pickups. These are not Fenders, they come without decals, but as you know, it's easy to find decals if you choose to have it on the guitar.

Has typical Bill Nash finish, feel and look that could fool the experts. A really cool guitar for a great price.

Bill Nash Relic Tele style It’s a really cool take on Muddy Waters’ old Tele. The original worn white single-ply pickguard is in the pocket - I put one of the Fender vintage “parchment” 3-ply pickguards on it - really looks cool. A decal of Muddy’s face is under the clar coat finish on the back of the headstock (really cool). Duncan Aged pickups, has a wonderful feel, vibe, sound, etc.
