Custom Harvester Surf Goldthwait
Been getting round to posting this. Earlier this year I received my custom build from Harvester guitars in Melbourne.
An amazing quirky take on the classic 60s fender offset. Built for surf she's ready for pipeline.
Hand wound JM style pups from Lance amplification in Aussie . These things chime like fender but have a gretschy bite. The mastery hardware is of course superb and the affixed maple neck gives twang and sustain. 9.5" radius makes for comfy playing and the medium tall frets
Are a little.more generous than vintage fender frets.
Bonus is it was played by Bill Frissel when he toured here and visited the harvester shop. He quite enjoyed it

Nice! Looks like a mature Di Pinto.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Love the headstock. It looks like the bit on the shotgun that you hold. Really like the curves too. Well done!

Re: Custom Harvester Surf Goldthwait
I don't know how to explain it properly.... It's got quirky features that take it in the direction of those really weird 60s offset guitars... But other features that drag it back and make it look really contemporary. It's kind of the best of both era's. Like both era's are contributing to the look, but neither of them are taking anything away from each other... Rather they're complimenting each other!

This is weird - personally I don't really like anything about it, but still, that looks awesome
Either way looks to be high quality, congrats!

I believe the headstock is a 'hatchet' shape modelled off a 'kay' brand bass
