NoMoonLaser Guitar Bodies & Echoluxe Custom Build Vintage Guitars (1953 Fender Telecaster)

NoMoonLaser guitar bodies are absolute gems in a polluted sea of plastic tone.  NML's are typically crafted from vintage reclaimed woods, using original Fender jigs to create an authentic look with tone like no other.  Where modern guitars might use cuts from trees 15-20 years old - many NML's utilize trees planted in the early 1900s (and beyond!).  You can hear it, I mean I can hear it, when I flip between vintage Fenders and NML's vs. new wood.  There's definitely a thing to it.  Find Shawn on Reverb, eBay, Etsy, etc...

In 2022 I commissioned NML to construct a Tele from a salvaged 1953 Fender Stringmaster (steel guitar), we're talking Leo Fender & old wood.
