Gold-o-Caster

Badscrew, October 23, 2022July 30, 2023

Gold-o-Caster series

Nothing too complicated, this is what people call a “parts-caster” – an assembly of parts made by someone else. No real “lutherie” present here at all 🙂

The body first: got it from ebay. Good quality, double cream binding, and most importantly it’s sparkly GOLD.

The sizes are of a standard Fender Telecaster.

The neck, from ebay too, the “Harley Benton” locking tuners from Thomann (gold of course)

Screws, jack, neck and electronics plates, bridge, pickups, all of it!

Just got this parlor-size guitar (smaller body and shorter scale than usual), and already liking it 🙂 The sound isn’t big but still very pleasant, great for practicing at home. I’ll be installing a Gretch Deltoluxe magnetic pickup in it soon!
