Prairie Custom Guitars

Custom Made Tele® Style Guitars

My Story

  Well it all started some time 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

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.


Here is a picture of that guitar today.Not much is original!

 

And a few of my other builds

 

 

 

There are many more finished and ongoing

Just go to the custom builds or custom bodies page and have a look
