A van pulled up outside the house yesterday, and dropped this one off.

A fine looking piece of ash if there ever was one.

Congrats!

How does it compare to the butterscotch one?
I like that see thru blonde one you have in your gallery.
Thanks for sharing :D

Just getting used to her right now. Main difference to the "butterscotch one" would be neck size and shape, where the Nocaster has a big U neck, the '62 Custom has what's described as a "mid-60s C." Obviously a slimmer shape. The radius is 10" too, so that's flatter, and medium jumbo frets.
The neck is quarter-sawn with a slab board, ash body, as already noted, Abby hand-wound pups, and compensated saddles. Weighs in at 7.1 pounds.

No not a custom order, but one that was team built to a set of specs for Coda Music, UK, a few years back. This is one of the NOS ones.
Specs are pretty similar to the "Wildwood 10s."
