Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this 73 Guitars Worthy model is dialed in and ready to go.  See below for more details and specifications. 

FROM BEN COSLOY OF 73 GUITARS:

I am a luthier and life-long guitar player, living in the great Pacific Northwest. I have been building and repairing guitars for the better part of the last two decades. I generally believe that form follows function, and strive to build some of the most comfortable, fun and useful guitars available, allowing for plenty of cool factor.  Currently, I am refining an original design that combines some familiar electric guitar composition elements that I admire, along with a bit of something new. These feature neck-through construction and slim bodies with relief contouring for light weight and comfort. I have a second iteration of this design that features a thicker body and more traditional set neck construction. All instruments are hand built by myself in Portland, Oregon, and each is a one-of-a-kind piece designed to take the player to exciting new places. 

I also love building guitars out of local salvage woods in more recognizable shapes. Right now I have several guitars’ worth of wood from a 19th century Eastern Oregon theater that has played host to all kinds of music and mayhem over the last century and a half. I am currently taking orders for instruments made from this historic wood. You will find links and info on the theater on the “Salvage Fir Tele” page. I also regularly do custom builds of classic shapes to the specification of the player.
