SC Relics Custom Build La Cabronita SOLD

jim50hertz

Looking to sell this lovely La Cabronita finished by Scott Cameron (now Golden Era Guitars).

This was a commissioned build and is, I think, one of only two that Scott completed in this finish (the other being sold to a big time US guitar player)

Body is aged paisley.  Looks amazing in person.

Aged vintage tint neck with a super comfortable soft but deep V neck. TV Jones Classic blade neck and Classic Plus bridge, CTS pots. Switchcraft switch, NOS PIO cap.  Mastery bridge. Aged Bigsby.  

Comes with a tweed hard case.

This is my first sale here but I have many years of high end sales on eBay, Reverb and FB.

Would like to get around SOLD for it.

You could literally ruin my life here but I need to see pics!

I’m trying to post! Apologies, camera was out of battery So I only have one decent pic currently (Can't seem to figure out how to link pics here other than posting the Imgur link).  Will post more Hi Res images tmrw with better lighting.

Flipping lovely. @dazzajl you gotta do it.

Sorry, should have mentioned, recent setup (December’23) by Martin Henry Amps and Guitars here in Glasgow.

Unreal finish. Truly great work.

Thank god it’s got a bigsby or I’d be getting in trouble

I was thinking that the Bigsby might actually get me in trouble

Well, that is lovely.  But two frets and one photo is too much risk for me.

Beautiful. Could I ask someone to explain that bridge to me? Is it recessed? Is the neck shimmed? Is that mastery bridge low profile enough for the action to be correct with 0 degree neck angle? Thanks. 

(I’m modding my tele and looking at all options)

The bridge posts are sunk into the body. It sits reasonably flush but the neck is shimmed to get the angle correct.  It works really well with a pretty low action.  I’ll shoot some pics tmrw to show you how it’s been setup.

If you don’t buy this one go and ask John Shanks to sell you his

That is all kinds of wonderful! I already own an SC Relics Paisley T-type, and a Palir Cabronita T-type with a Bigsby, but now I feel my life is not complete...

Is there anything by way of trade/s that might interest you?

Lord. That looks killer.

Great to see you here Scott! Thanks for chiming in here.

For additional context I’m a massive fan of Scott’s work, having had 4 of his bodies and currently owning 3.

Here's the other two in the current inventory, both 100yo Canadian pine.  Cavalier Firebirds and tele bridge on one and Gabojo Dynasonics on the other.  I'll see if I can find a pic of the one I sold last year (another goldie).

Thanks @Wazmeister for posting, finally figured out how to post images.  Big photo dump in the first post now.

Here's a daft one with today's date on a sticky note.

And a detail of the bridge for @pt22 An

Not really interested in trades, I bought a bunch of 500 series modules for the studio and kind of need to recoup!  @Dominic it weighs in at 7lb 11oz according to my kitchen scales.
