NGD Barncaster Edition

What's Hot

So around a year ago I was browsing Ebay and I came across this Barncaster body which is supposedly made from the wood of an actual barn in Ohio. 

I thought it looked great, plus it was very cheap, so I instantly bought it. Unfortunately I had a DIY accident shortly after buying this which left me unable to use my left hand for a few months, so I had to sideline the build (and guitar playing) for a while. 

I completely forgot about this project until this week when I was grabbing a case for a different guitar and found this body in it. Since I'm all healed now and can use tools again, I decided to finally put this together:



I can't remember what wood the body is made out of. Neck is a Warmoth rosewood neck. Pickups are some Fender Custom Shop pickups I had lying around.

Surprisingly it kinda sounds like a Thinline Tele. I hope to do some demo vids this weekend.

    That looks fantastic!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    You're right there... I'd love to do an old music master style bass from a barn door slab.

    Epic.
    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    That looks nice.

    If that was mine I would tell everybody that it is made from a 100 year old Barn Door.
    In fact it is amazing how many people pick up the phone and ring Fender when the Barn Door they were thinking of selling is exactly 99 years old.
