If you like whiskey and rock n roll...

...then you'll probably dig on this axe. Guy listed it for $3K on secondary site (actually a lil surprised the admins let him even post this, but pretty dang cool). I'll try to grab his commentary and extra pics.

Custom / Handmade Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrel Guitar (other Distilleries potentially available upon request)
ISO: 3.0K
Will entertain serious ?? / partial ??
CONUS ??
I had this guitar handmade from a luthier based in Chicago a few years ago. It is 100% playable and is an amazing edition to any bar. Progress / Work pictures in the comments. Let me know if you have any questions or need additional pictures!

















Additional info:
The pickups are custom wound by him. Single coil strat with plain enamel 42 AWG formvar
The hardware is from WD Music.
Strings are guitar authority strings.
The Bridge is a scatter overwound hotter than a standard bridge

It's interesting, for sure.

Is it worth $3k? Kinda doubtful. One-offs of that nature rarely ever retain or rise in value across the guitar market. And while it's probably playable, I'm pretty sure it's not going to play as good or better than a vintage tele at a similar price point. For that matter, it looks like you would be picking out splinters every time you went to pick out notes on it. From an instrument collecting perspective, it's a hard pass and money is better spent buying something with a recognizable badge and serial number. Had the same axe come out of the Fender custom shop, then maybe it's a piece worth pursuing.

But it is interesting.
