The Nash S-67 relic guitar features an alder body and a three-ply pickguard.  The maple neck is done in a medium C birds eye style, and it features a CBS era shape.  The wide headstock and the Gilmour styled white knobs, pickup covers, and whammy round out this awesome guitar.  The Nash S-67 is available in black with a black pickguard, and the white accessories really stand out.  This is one of Nash’s most beautiful instruments, and, just like all of their relic guitars, every S-67 is hand assembled and features only top quality components.  They generally retail for around $1,800.

Nash put much of the experience he gained repairing and refurbishing Gibsons and Fenders into the design of the S-57.  He personally designed and hand-crafts each S-57, using only the highest quality hardware, wood, and other options.  He refuses to create a guitar that anyone could pick up off a rack.  Instead, each of his instruments is an unique hand-made guitar that is like no other.

The Nash S-57 features an alder body and a maple fingerboard.  The bridge is vintage, and it has Lollar pickups.  This relic guitar features a low level of wear, so while it doesn’t look brand new, it doesn’t look like it has been used and abused for years.  Instead, it has a few nicks and dings here and there.  The sound, of course, hasn’t taken any hits—it sounds excellent, just like all Nash instruments.

The S-68 is created in off white and is made to match Hendrix’s guitar.  The body is out of alder, and the neck and fingerboard are both pure maple.  It features a vintage bridge, Lollar pickups, and an amazing vintage look to make it seem as old as the original would be.  Just like all of the famous Nash guitars, the S-68 is extremely limited.  If you want to add one to your collection, you’re going to need to purchase it as soon as possible.  Of course, it won’t come cheap.  The Nash S-68 retails for $1849.

Nash knows exactly what an aged guitar should look like, and he’s put all his knowledge into making the Nash S-63 look just like an aged relic guitar.  The older knobs, chipped finish, and vintage pieces make the S-63 look old, but the modern techniques used to make the guitar ensure that it plays like a brand new instrument.  Each Nash S-63 is built by hand, so each one is completely unique.  It features a rosewood fingerboard, an alder body, and a Lollar pickup.  The bridge is made from vintage parts, and the entire guitar is given a medium level of wear and tear via a relicing process.  The Nash S-63 comes in several different colors, including Fiesta Red and Sonic Blue.  The Nash S-63 often retails for around $2,000, and more information about it can be found at www.nashguitars.com.

Nash Guitars may not be of much interest to those looking to have their guitars reliced—Nash does not relic guitars any longer, nor does he sell relic parts.  However, he does build custom guitars for dealers that he deals with.  At one point, Nash did take custom orders, but because building one guitar for a client takes much longer than simply building custom guitars, he no longer does this.  While he says he only sells guitars through the dealers he has listed on his website, he does still have ordering and payment information listed.  This is a little confusing, although it’s possible that the Nash Guitars website simply hasn’t been updated since they stopped taking custom orders.

While Nash Guitars builds some very beautiful instruments, the fact that you have to go through a dealer may make the process a bit more complex.  Infinty guitars carries a pretty wide selection of Nash Guitars.
