Sold: Scott Walker Jimson

danishbacon

Built in 2013, beautiful Scott Walker Jimson. It's a stunning instrument but having become accustomed to a Les Paul and its shorter scale length I can't justify keeping it. A very nice range of tones from the four way switch wiring and push-pull out of phase settings. The guitar is in excellent condition with no nasty dings or scratches or significant wear.

Comes in its original Scott Walker custom built case and includes the original sales receipt.

A template on how to advertise a guitar of this calibre.

Yourself and the previous owner have presented this guitar superbly.

Have a nudge on me.

How much like a Telecaster is this, tone-wise I mean?

Hey @Castro. Guitar puts out traditional Tele tones when on neck, bridge and both in parallel (both the bridge and neck pickups are hand wound by Scott and are top class, very well balanced) In series position you get a fuller tone, with a bit of cut to the high end and can sound quite ballsy, like an articulate Les Paul. You then have the option to put both the series and parallel positions out of phase for some hollow tones.

Perfect tele tone on the bridge.....not too spikey

It is indeed. Here's the description from Scott Walker:

The new Jimson model features hand wound pickups by Scott. With lots of research and development focussing on the “T” style pickups, Scott has cracked the code for an exceptionally clear, full and articulate set of pickups.  These feature Alnico 3 magnets, 42 Awg wire, and shellac potting to give just the right amount of liveliness. The neck pickup wire is coated with Plain enamel coating to help accentuate the higher frequencies and the bridge with a heavy formvar to add a little compression and tightness to the sounds. The Alnico 3 magnets, being weaker than the Alnico 5, help with sustain and clarity, making a really usable warm but chimy neck position.

This is one of "those" guitars - I don't really need it but I do really want it.

If you're into Teles, it is a compelling instrument. Body carves make it very comfortable to play standing or sat down too.

In addition to hand building/winding the pickups Scott also hand engraved the neck pickup.
