The Nashville Telecaster  described is like a musical time capsule—a blend of history, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Let’s break down its unique features:

1.     Salvaged Materials: From the Austrian Cupboard to the Exmoor Spruce, this guitar wears its origins proudly. It’s as if the wood itself carries whispers of forgotten stories.
   


2.     Pickup Palette: With five pickup sounds, this guitar is a sonic chameleon. The vintage-warm neck pickup? Perfect for soulful blues. The single-coil middle pickup? It’s like a clear stream of notes. And the black Telecaster bridge pickup? Vintage rock ‘n’ roll growl. Switching between them? It’s like changing radio stations across genres.


3.     Handmade Charm: Imagine the shed in North Devon—the birthplace of magic. The dents and scratches on the handmade body? It’s not just a guitar; it’s a companion on your musical journey.


4.     Maple Neck Reborn: That 22-fret maple neck, reclaimed from a new guitar, carries its own history fitted with new 10mm machine heads.


5.     Eco-Conscious Soul: This guitar isn’t just about sound; it’s about sustainability. Upcycled, repurposed, and recycled—those discarded timber gems now sing anew. It’s like playing a forest’s legacy.


6.     Free UK Delivery: The final touch—a gift from Rat Bait Guitars to musicians across the land. It’s like a musical postcard: “Greetings from North Devon!”

So, if this guitar could choose its stage, where would it play? A smoky blues club? A festival stage under starlight? Or maybe it’s destined for a cosy living room jam.
