The Madtown® Gravelcaster offers up an impressive host of solutions for the modern player. It sports our custom neck profile and wider nut width, a 10"-16" compound fingerboard radius and 22 frets. The custom Madtown control plates are designed to give the player more room between the switch and knob, while the Skidplate and sculpted rear body contour system provide for a much greater level of upper register fingerboard access and player comfort than has ever been offered before. Pair all of that with the latest in state-of-the-art custom handwound pickups and electronics technology and the Gravelcaster is born.
The Gravelcaster bodies are crafted with a solid 1 or 2 piece select body, many with a book-matched select figured tops. Species include Swamp Ash, Black Limba, Mahogany and many others. We have chambered and semi-hollow options available as well.
Standard necks are crafted of hard eastern maple with maple or rosewood fingerboards and fretted with Jescar nickel silver fret wire with hidden tangs. Solid 1/4" inch thick fingerboards have a compound 10-16" radius, with other radius offerings. Black or clay dot inlays with custom inlay work available. 25.5” scale length and Madtown's custom C profile. Measuring .812” at the first fret and .895” at the 12th.
