The Replica of Brad's Brown Guitar Here's the info I think you'll find helpful if you decide to make a replica of Brad's brown
guitar like I did. The info of the spec of Brad’s guitar came from Maximum Guitar Jan 1998. If you do decide to make the guitar I suggest that you buy a book on making a guitar. I used a book called ‘Make your own electric guitar’ by Melvyn Hiscock, but there are a few more to choose from. I also found
some good FAQs on making a guitar on the internet. Try a place called www.Harmony-Central.com. I bought most of the parts for the guitar from a place called the internet music supply company at www.aim-corp.com/ims. They were the cheapest I could find and they had just about everything I needed. The writing in italics in the equipment list means I bought it from IMS and give the price and product code etc. Some parts for the guitar I bought from a supply shop called Pincotts in the
UK. Equipment list: This is a list of what I used or where noted what Brad actually had. Body: Swamp ash, universal pickup route, tremolo routing strat body. Brad’s
guitar was actually made of Honduran Mahogany but you can’t but pre cut
mahogany strat bodies. I don’t have the equipment of skill to cut one out myself
so I bought a pre cut one. I chose swap ash I its supposed to have similar tone to
mahogany. I-SBAO-U STRAT(TM) BODY, SWAMP ASH,UNIVERSAL PICKUP
ROUTE, TREMOLO ROUTING, NO FINISH - $138.45 Neck: 22 fret maple strat neck with ebony fretboard. This is exactly the same as
the neck on Brad’s guitar! I-SEO STRAT(TM) NECK, EBONY
FINGERBOARD, 22 FRETS, NO FINISH $134.90 Bridge: Schaller chrome Floyd Rose licensed tremolo. All I know is that Brad
had a Floyd rose licensed tremolo. I don’t know the make but there all very
similar. This bridge came with all fixing hardware, string bar and locking nut:
however the locking nut the come with it is NOT the right size for the 22 fret strat
neck so I had to order one separate. The size locking nut you will need is 1-
11/16”. I-SB-290 SCHALLER FLOYD ROSE(TM) LICENSED
LOCKING TREMOLO, BRIDGE CHROME - $181.05 Tuners : Gotoh SG-38 in chrome. Brad had Gotoh tuners on his guitar and the
SG-38 are the only one that look like them, so there are almost certainly the
same. I bought these from a shop in the UK called Pincotts. Pickups: The only pickup I know for certain that Brad had was a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position. Everyone I talked to including Seymour Duncan said that with a JB in the bridge position the best pickup for the neck is a Seymour Duncan Jazz. For the middle I choose a DiMazio Red Velvet as is it goes well with the other two. Make sure if you order them buy phone you get black as other colors are available. I bought the pickups from a local guitar shop. Other Parts: Most of the other parts used are either general parts or Strat parts. The jack socket, knobs, 5-way switch, neckplate and spring cover were all strat parts. Also required were a volume and tone pot, black sheet of .90 pickguard material and some chrome shielding tape. That’s most of the stuff you’ll need but I may have forgotten something, but I’m sure you’ll be able to get hold of the stuff you need.
How I made it Here are some note and tips on how I made the guitar to help you. First thing is to route the body for the tremolo as the Floyd rose goes both up and down. As I used a swamp ash body it’s was quite soft and the job was easily done with a chisel. Next thing is to route the neck for the locking nut again this was done was a chisel, just be sure to get the nut the correct height. When making the pickguard I made two test pickguards out of strong card to make sure it fitted well and looked good. I then used the card as a template to cut it out in plastic. For the finish on the guitar I used a mixture of mahogany and a rosewood wood dye to get the right color. I then used Danish oil to seal and protect the wood. This oil acts like a thin varnish and is much better than tinned varnishes. That’s about all you need to know. If you have any other questions just email at pjsub@netscapeonline.co.uk. Also if you have made a copy of Brad’s guitar I would love to see some pics of it. I the reason I made this guitar is because I love Sublime so much and I really miss Brad. He’s been such a big influence on me I built this guitar out of respect for
him. See ya round.

: there is a site somewhere on the web that has the direction for building brad nowells guitar. Does anybody know what site that might be or have the directions?
