Limited edition swamp witch Helltainium model.
Electric Slide guitar .
-25.5 , inch ( longer scale) neck. .
- Smaller , (more cigar box size) body, and deeper width.
-Distressed , de-freted fretboard (mimicking the old bluesmen stripped parlor guitars with frets ripped out ) also shaved /filed / angled on the bottom edge like they did , to avoid bottle knocking on half string guitars with lots of fretboard space .
. mimicked fret dot removal.
- nut / bolt / bridge .
-Metal top - plasma cut 16 gauge steel ( cut by my local sign guy ) then given special chrome coat treatment .
-Resonator .. (actually an antiqued brass light base fixture) inside , to mimic the faux resonator parlors , (but this one truly adds some ring and echo) . (I have a box of them ).
-red painted interior back and black interior sides .
- black back of body paint
-black back of neck stain
Cooking spray , paint , ink , coffee, stained …
and dipped in mojo ;-)

just the base not the U's
and its still a floating bridge .
thumper , i used small wire/rope clip bottoms like these .
adjustable only by swaping out a thinner / thicker bolt .
thanx duck and Henry ,
prim . yeah .. kinda old / meets new .. and will catch up with the old and match even better in the future ,
and the distressing actually helps playbility , it has a fuction. while paying homage to the blues greats and their guits .
thanx unk , had orders inbetween workin on the new model , hence the wait , some local sales , which is rare . most of my business is in the US.
That's a piece of art !! In the video it looks like you used an adjustable bridge (like an arch top), or was I just imagining things? fFr a dedicated slide or finger picker that's a nice touch + it looks cool. I used one on my original reso. Keep up the inspirational work !!!
thanx Glenn, glad you are enjoying it ;-) and the house looks amazing now !!
thanx jim , my fall back job is gonna be an ink blot tester ..
:what do ya see ?"
"butterfly "
:what do ya see ?"
"butterfly "
"ok .. yer nuts" ....

Worth the wait, Pick. Figured it had to be a metal top. A winner for sho.
Another fantastic job. Pure art!!!!
Man...that witch cooks up some meaty Mojo in the swamp. Loving it Mr Pick!
