Rat Bait Guitar
This guitar is a fusion of guitar designs. Handcrafted in the UK.
  1. The body is a patchwork quilt of salvaged materials: roofing timber and a broken Stratocaster. It’s like a musical Frankenstein, stitched together with love and a touch of rebellious spirit in a natural wood, black and red finish?
  2. Jedson-Stratocaster Lovechild: The body, inspired by 1960s Japanese Jedson guitars, is routed to accommodate a standard Stratocaster scratchplate. HSS routing means it’s ready for a single bridge humbucker and two middle and neck single coils,.
  3. The maple neck has a rosewood type fretboard, refurbished and reborn, carries its own stories. New machine heads ensure tuning stability.
  4. This guitar isn’t just wood and metal; it’s a fusion of past and present, grit and grace.
  5. The neck wears a lightly dusted nitro finish – a nod to vintage vibes. It’s like a well-aged wine, improving with time and resonating with every chord you play.
  6. The scratchplate, pickups and electrics are lifted straight from a brand new guitar – they look like a Strat and they sound like a Strat. The electrics and pickups are mid price range generic ones – old school twang.
