Nice tune . is yours the green color or powder coat hwy 61 ?

@12Radius Thanks, the body finish is republics swamp green, it's paint, I left the body as it came on this one and did a custom neck.

@otterbeone Do they do a 1-3/4 on this for you? thanks. cool stuff

[otterbeone]

@12Radius, Nope all the factory necks are 1 7/8. I like 1 3/4 so I do custom necks for them...

Sweet! The Highway 61 sounds great. I found it takes some getting used to the shorter scale though. My friend Keni Burgess did a nice studio version of this tune. Luv that headstock treatment BTW.

@gorblimey61 Thanks, I did a series of custom Highway 61's last year. They all sounded good, I ended up not really liking the short scale much so sold them all. I'll most likely customize a few this year, maybe even do a custom 24.75" scale neck on one...

love the sound of that resonator, such a dirty blues sound

[otterbeone]

@twistedrunes1421 Thanks, the Highway 61's have a cool tone when set up well, kind of never got used to the very short scale, so after customizing half a dozen of them, I sold them all, going to be buiding my own small body resonators from scratch here in the good ole USA from now on....
