COODERCASTER ALERT! (Spotted today at @folkwaymusic) So what exactly is a #Coodercaster? Glad you asked ‘cos I just found out myself! A Coodercaster is a #Stratocaster-like #guitar, a #parstcaster if you will, made famous by #RyCooder, that is most notable for having a #lapsteel #pickup in the bridge position. Ry’s guitar is a Buddy Holly artist series body with a #Teisco neck pickup he got from David Lindley and a Oahu (Valco) lap steel pickup assembly in the bridge position. This version, assembled by #FolkwayMusic, has a #Fender #AmericanStandard #Strat body, a @mojopickups UK lap steel pickup similar to a 50s Valco unit (zoom in on that sucker...it’s crazy!), a @curtis_novak_pickups Guyatone #humbucker in the neck and a torrefied maple v-shaped neck, with 10” radius, 6105 frets, lacquer finish and a bone nut. So there you go! Also: I am going to see Ry Cooder for the first time when he plays #Toronto in a couple of months! Just an FYI 🤣 #straturday #guitars #fenderguitar #guitarshopping #guitarsofinstagram #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography
