I am recording a podcast every day this month for #NaPodPoMo (and #HivePodPoMo) that is organised by @epodcaster.
Today I wanted to talk about the guitar I had custom built for me a few years ago by Benford Guitars. You can see it here with all the specifications. I got the body wood wrong in the podcast as it is actually ash.
I was playing through my Zoom G3X plus the Soul Food booster. I was talking into a Shure SM58 microphone. It all goes through a mixer into my audio interface.
Rock on!
Besides being a one of a kind, you probably have a bit of value since it is ash too. That tree used to be plentiful around here, but now you can barely find them because they have been decimated by invasive species. They used to make baseball bats out of ash, but they have needed to shift to other woods now due to the shortage.
Not sure the wood would make too much difference to value, but I wouldn't sell it anyway. I think there are issues with ash here too. A custom guitar can be harder to sell, especially if it's not a major brand, but I got what I wanted. My other electric is made in the UK. Maybe some day Hive can buy me another custom guitar.
Likely sooner rather than later it seems. Hive having another nice pump this morning from what I have seen...
It is, but we shall have to see how it lasts. A new high is encouraging.
I will spend some of my earnings at some point, but I'm happy to mostly power up for now.
I feel the same way. Seeing a floor at like $1.25/$1.30 would be nice. I know the highs are often fleeting.
I'm happy if we can gradually work our way up based on real utility. That means more users, but some will fear an influx of junk posters. Have to be realistic about what people will do for money.
Beautiful guitar! I have a 12-stringer that I haven't touched in years. When I eventually do pick it up again I'll have to earn those calloused finger tips all over again.
Gotta love Teles! And yours looks fantastic! I didn't know it had a killswitch! Very cool!

The killswitch was a novelty. Benford is still making great guitars and he's a really good guitarist too. They work out cheaper if you are in the US as I had to pay some import taxes as well as the delivery to the UK.
This is how he did the inlay on mine.
Great custom guitar and tools my friend :) I like custom guitars Rock on! \m/
It can be affordable if you can find the right builder. Mine would have been cheaper if I was in the US as there were costs in getting it to the UK, but I consider it good value.
!BEER
You are right my friend, though I only can ask guitar builders in Iran to do that for me, I only could change color of my guitar once. But I like to do more than that in furure :)
