The ranger handmade guitar (jazzy sample)

this video contains audio from one of my handmade guitars played by Bob Eichorn through a fender a delux, and photos of the same guitar.

this instrument is completely hand made from the ground up, the body is poplar with a flamed maple top, it is semi-hollow with two cut-outs. the body finish is a nitric acid stain, followed by 3 coats of danish oil and a semi-gloss lacquer.


the neck is a 5 piece laminate of maple and walnut and is set, it has a rosewood fretboard with pearl dot inlays on the side and on the playing surface and a dual adjustable truss rod.


the bridge is an ashtray style, the tuners are 13:1 ratio. control plate has one tone one volume and a 3-way switch. the bridge pickup is a legend series pickup with alnico five magnets, the neck pup is out of a squire tele. i have done engraving on the control plate, input jack, and bridge as is seen in the photos.

i have made the pickguard from leather and have hand tooled all the designs into it as seen. if you have any questions please feel free to email me at

Though I see where you are coming from, I don't think anyone is being mislead by that statement. If you can find me a single "handmade guitar" where the luthier has made their own tuners, output jacks, switches, strap buttons, and potentiometers then I might give it a little more credence. The term "handmade" when refering to electric guitars in general does not refer to these things.

Great job! However, the description "this instrument is completely hand made from the ground up" is misleading. For example, the pickup covers say "Tradition," so I'm assuming the pickups, or at least the pickup covers, were made by Tradition.
