Prairie Custom Guitars

Custom Made Tele® Style Guitars

My Story

  Well it all started about 1 year ago

I was doing some research on some pickups and I got directed to TDPRI .I did much reading there,asked some questions and the great guys there convinced me to try a partscaster 

 I had an old Contemporary Telecaster® here that I loved the neck on so I decided to part it out and that was the beginning 

I went to ebay and started gathering up parts and when I had everything I needed I went to put it together.

Hmmm,there was a problem.The bridge did not sit straight.I knew the bridge was correct because it was a  Glendale 
They are known for their high quality

I realized the holes for the bridge were not drilled correctly I had to fill in the holes and re-drill them 

In the end it all worked out,even though I ended up not using the Glendale bridge.I decided to use a black bridge for this.

I was quite shocked at how well the guitar setup and played. I then decided that if I am going to build more,I might as well build the body too.I have lots of woodworking experience,so I had most of the tools needed.As I said that was 1 year and many builds ago

Here is a picture of that guitar now

And a few of my other builds

 

 

 

There are many more finished and ongoing

Each has it's own build page in the nav bar to the left
