** New Year price reduction **  This listing is for one of my custom ‘Oakcaster’ full-scale, full-spec electric travel guitars. This is the first left-handed double-cut that I've made and it’s Oakcaster number #15 . These guitars are designed for the overseas gigging musician or the dedicated player who wants to take their guitar on holiday or business trips.  The 2 M8 hex-bolt neck fixing arrangement makes for quick disassembly and reassembly and  the guitar then fits into airline carry-on luggage. This means you can be 100% sure that your guitar will arrive at your destination with you and be damage-free. 

My Oakcasters feature full-scale necks and the oak bodies are not only great to look at but they also give the guitar a decent heft while keeping the body size to a minimum. My design priority is to create travel guitars that are good enough to travel and gig with and that feel and sound like a top quality full-size guitar. I now rehearse and gig with two of my Oakcaster double cut guitars since I get to keep the 'prototypes' :-) 

This body on this guitar is 3-piece oak. Despite being made from ‘left-overs’ it’s got a nice grain on the front and back and with some quilting to one side of the front near the knobs. The hardware is gold throughout: Wilkinson 19:1 ratio tuners, gold jack plate, gold wrap-around bridge and gold knobs. The guitar is equipped with gold Wilkinson hot humbuckers featuring a coil split on each controlled by the master volume and master tone knobs. Pickup selection is made via the 3-way mini toggle switch.  Altogether this gives a very useful mixture of single coil and/or humbucker combinations. The Wilkinsons are surprisingly good too. The action on this guitar is very light and low (see pics) but can be adjusted via screw slots on the posts. As with all my guitars, the frets have been leveled and the nut slots cut to give a very low 1st fret action of 0.2mm and to ensure perfect tuning stability. The finish is natural Oak with a little grain filler to enhance the grain and three or four coats of Bri-Wax. The cavities are shielded with copper foil throughout and grounded to reduce unwanted RF interference.

Note: the listing shows ‘full size’ because this is a full-scale (648mm) neck. Unfortunately, due to new CITES regulations I'm not able to offer guitars with rosewood fingerboards for sale outside of the EU however my next 3 Oakcasters will have maple necks. 

Recent feedback from Reloved customers: 

 

“Just wanted you to know that the ‘Reloved’ Encore Strat you set up for me has given me hours of guitar fun…I’ve enjoyed this guitar literally every day since you sent it to me”

 

“I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve tried out your fret levelling method to UNEBELIEVABLE success. I’m sold! Sending you money for the eBook….”

 

“Wow! That’s all I have to say. Left a few comment on your FB page…going back to my guitar now. Wow! Said it again”

“My Gibson LP arrived back safely…just had a try out. What can I say? Magnificent…in tune out of the box and plays like a dream. Thank you so much”

“Just wanted to pass on our thanks for the great work you did…the low action combined with the 9s make very easy playing. Great work Sam as I knew it would be!”

 

“You’re an inspiration Sam…you transformed the Tele and the maple necked Strat. Watching you at work gave me the confidence to rebuild and set up my red Strat – which is now a firm favourite. If I manage to sell my Eko a hard-tail body will be on its way to you soon!”

“I couldn’t be happier with this guitar now, totally fulfils my GAS for a black Strat! Thanks again to you over the years for teaching me the skills to make such shipwrecks into marvellous instruments” “I bought Reloved Oakcaster travel guitar #12…It’s a fantastic instrument that easily compares with any of my other workhorses. The set up is flawless and I now have absolutely zero risk of my guitar being damaged in the hold of a plane when I’m booked for a fly-in gig. It’s a pro piece of gear built to last”

 

“The combination of all that you did has produced such a difference! I knew the work you do would improve the instrument but I would never have imagined it would be so substantially significant as I don’t think the guitar played too badly as was. I already respected your work but this is on another level that I just did not expect…” 

 

“Fantastic – you have done it again; the beast is back better than I thought. I knew the Iron Gear pickups were suited to the guitar and sound great in every position. It’s like a Swiss Army Knife, great for gigging…the treble bleed is great. Thank you so much Sam”

 

“You have unlocked the potential of this guitar which I had been disappointed by up to now. It has incredible tone on the treble pickup which I never noticed before and it’s making pleasant overdrive sounds to boot!”

 

“I received my Yamaha SG2000 back today and it plays like and absolute dream. I am SO pleased with it! Action is perfect, tuning is rock stable and fretting feels great all over. I can hardly put it down…in short it’s everything you said it would be”

 

“Your videos and book are an inspiration. I recommend them to anyone”

 

“My guitar just arrived, thanks a lot it’s like a different guitar. That pickups sounds immense compared to the one I took out, it plays and sounds really good now. Thanks a lot, you’ve put a smile on my face. From a piece of Chinese firewood to something I actually want to play, I can’t ask for more than that”

 

“Wow! Thank you very much for the work on the two guitars. Been jamming away on the pair since the courier delivered them. The improvement in playability and sound is beyond anything I could have expected”

 

“Exactly what I expected: a £900 plus guitar quality for a third of the cost”

 

“Very well packed. As described. Excellent communicator. Happy”

 

“Sam did a great job on setting up my bass. After 2 years of playing the intonation was out and I had fret buzzing and choking – but no more thanks to Reloved Guitars. Great work and an all-round nice guy, thanks Sam”

 

“Many thanks Sam for the work on my Baby Taylor. I played all night long I couldn’t stop! It’s so much easier and more enjoyable”

“Quick message to let you know I’ve received the guitar safe and sound. It’s fantastic! Thanks for doing such a great job!”

 

“A great Reloved Guitar I can treasure for years to come – thank you very much”

 

“Guitar….sounds and plays great, really pleased! The action is perfect, feels absolutely brilliant to play”

 

“Absolutely stunning guitar! Piece of art! Thank you SO much, wife loves it!”

 

“You’ve done a beautiful job with it. What a pleasure it is to play. I love it and want to thank you for the care you’ve put into restoring it”

 

“Absolutely amazing Sam! Thank you very much”

 

“I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for the job performed on the guitar! The Strat looks and plays wonderful. Great choice of pickups, Sir! The electrics are awesome…I would certainly like to use your services with my other guitars”

 

“Bought your e-book a couple of weeks ago – and can genuinely say that it’s worth every penny. Thank you for was obviously a lot of work – teamed up with your ‘real life’ YouTube videos it’s both entertaining and informative”

 

“Hi Sam, big fan of your YouTube videos – just wanted to say ‘thanks’ by picking up the eBook. I’ve had fun getting my Epiphone SG 400 down to 1.5mm and no buzz thanks to your videos!”

 

“I’ve been playing the Antoria Rockstar that Sam worked his magic on for a couple of months now and the guitar is just phenomenal. If you’re in the market for something old/new and awesome, check these cats out” “What can I say? Truly fantastic job you have done for me. I am over the moon with what you have done to my guitar. I can now get on and enjoy playing it. Best regards from one very satisfied customer”

“Sam, THANK YOU! You are, without a doubt, the best setup man I have ever seen and I have been playing for over 50 years…I no longer fear working on frets, nuts or setting up my friends’ guitars”

“I truly love that you take time to provide information on your whiteboard so we can have a better understanding of some technique or terminology that might be a bit difficult to understand. I come away from your videos feeling as if I just spent a couple of hours with a dear friend”

“Fantastic guitar who needs a custom shop👍Highly recommend anything from Sam A++”

  “This is the best setup video I have seen. Your information just saved my guitar. THANKS! I liked and subscribed” 

“++ Amazing! ++ Highly Recommended ++”

 

  “Brilliant eBook. Money well spent!”

  “This is a beautiful guitar that feels, sounds and looks fantastic! Great work.”

  “Got the guitar, absolutely brilliant. Plays lovely, brilliant job thank you very much”

“ Wanted to let you know that the guitar arrived yesterday - and in perfect shape…The action is to die for from first to last fret, super comfortable to play and with that beautiful "snap" to the notes…also, crucially, the intonation is amazing: in tune all over the neck, even with chord voicings using open strings combined with high-fretted notes”

“ The best seller I have ever dealt with. Will definitely deal with Sam again”

  “ Packaging and delivery 10/10, Guitar build and pro set up 10/10, Communication and updates 10/10, Customer satisfaction 10/10. You have done it again Sam … sounds and plays better than I imagined she would”

“I have used your setup on my own guitars and they have never played better, you are a wonderful teacher”

“The guitar arrived today and as promised it sounds and plays beautifully. I've tried a lot of baby Taylor's and travel guitars over the years and while I liked them they never quite sounded right and some were just unplayable so it's great having two that play so amazingly”

“You’re amazing! I’ve made everything u teached me and my guitar is staying in tune perfectly! Thanks a lot and greetings from Brazil!”

”Beautiful work, Sam! It feels really comfortable to play and hold, and I love the stain/finish"

"What can I say it is beautiful to play now even the 11s feel slinky on them frets you have really knocked it out of the park now ... Suhr can keep his guitars!"

"The tele is going strong and many who have fender teles have passed comment on her playability"

“Got home with my three guitars and they are magic. If you’re a beginner or a pro your life will be transformed if you let Sam do a setup on your guitar”

“Absolutely fantastic… Thank you Sam for sorting my guitar, plays like a dream and I can’t stop!”

“Thanks very much for setting up my Epi SG. It plays like a dream and stays in tune very well”

“This is the best guitar I have ever played. The set-up is spot on. It feels like a far more expensive guitar”

“Wow! Thanks Sam, great job. You made the guitar sound fantastic!! Will be comparing it over the weekend with my brother’s £3000 Taran!”

“I’ll be keeping the Reloved ‘AristoCat’ Kay Les Paul copy. I really do love it - more than I would a Gibson I think, because of the associations, memories and dreaming about those old Kay and Satellite guitars”

“The guitar is fabulous and it has been something of an eye opener for me. It’s the first guitar I’ve ever had that I didn’t feel I was having to ‘fight’ in order to play. I wish I had a guitar like this 25 years ago”

“Excellently setup guitar and great communication++++++++”

“I’m lost for words sir, the Tele has been transformed. The neck plays so well and there’s a gorgeous and different tone to her…ever so slight but noticeable. No fret buzz and silky smooth low action. Can’t thank or recommend you enough”

“OMG it’s so smooth and soft and no buzzing…every tone is just perfect in pitch. I love your work. Thank you wizard of Reloved Guitars”

Thanks also for the advice on stretching strings properly…I have just tried this out on an old Tanglewood acoustic, and it worked a treat! May Reloved Guitars prosper!”

“Excellent service and product. Highly recommended.”

“Perfect!! Excellent communication!”

“I have 14 guitars: 3 fenders, Burns, Les Pauls etc - but the size of my hands won’t let me play them. Now thanks to sam I can play with out muting strings. This guitar works 100%” (7 string to ultra-wide 6 string conversion)

“Love the Wesley strat guitar! It plays brilliantly! Thanks for everything and all the best for 2016”

“Thanks - it’s amazing!”

“Excellent service and delivery. Pictures don’t reflect how brilliant it is - superb”

‘Reloved guitars’ is a small business based near Tavistock, Devon UK. I buy up good quality (but badly-set up) electric guitars that have been abandoned by frustrated owners and give each one a professional set-up so that it plays better than guitars costing 5 times as much.

Each Reloved guitar comes with a link to its own individual workshop HD video (see the link above) to give you confidence in the work that was done on your guitar. Better yet, I explain what I’m doing every step of the way so that you can learn how to set up a guitar yourself and know what to look for when buying second hand.

I believe it’s a MYTH that only expensive guitars are good guitars and it was my aim to demonstrate that a well set-up basic learner guitar will outperform many expensive off-the-hangar brand name guitars. Once you play this Reloved guitar and watch the workshop video, you’ll understand why. 

Payment: by PayPal only please (for both our protection). You can collect in person to save on postage from Tavistock, Devon or I will post using Parcelforce 48 in a well packed cardboard guitar box. The cost of postage is the base cost of £16.40 plus £8.60 for packing materials - £25.

International postage: I’ve specified a number of rates for different locations worldwide which were accurate at the time of researching them. If there is any variation in the actual cost of postage to your location I will refund the difference (or request the difference if higher).

Please note: if you opt for courier delivery you accept that this is done ultimately at your own risk. I have a 100% record of damage-free delivery using Parcelforce so far thanks to my thorough packing and Parcelforce’s careful handling - so the risk of loss is currently extremely low. If you specifically request, I can remove the neck to further reduce the risk of damage in transit. 

Obviously there will be no postage costs if you are able to collect from Tavistock area in Devon UK.
