THE MADTOWN® GRAVELCASTER

---

Gravelcaster bodies are typically crafted with a solid 1 or 2 piece select body with the occasional  2 piece book-matched select figured top. Species include Swamp Ash, Black Limba, Mahogany,  and Alder. When capped, tops will be primarily maple, but we have a varied stash and supply, so expect a variety.

Necks are typically crafted of hard eastern maple with maple or rosewood fingerboards and fretted with Jescar 47104 nickel silver wire and hidden tangs. Solid 1/4 inch thick fingerboards have a unique compound 12-14" radius. Black or clay dot inlays, and luminescent side dot inlays. 25.5” scale and Madtown's custom C profile, measuring .812” at the first fret and .895” at the 12th. Fitted with a genuine bone nut with a nut width of 1.725", 22 fret and a spoke style, two-way adjustable rod.

The tuning machines are nickel Gotoh. The bridge is stainless Callaham with brass or stainless compensated saddles. Nickel strap buttons . Custom Madtown® serialized nickel control plates and Skidplates are standard equipment on all Madtown® Gravelcaster Guitars.

The Gravelcasters are outfitted with factory direct matched pairs of Lindy Fralin Pickups. Typically either Blues Specials or the Steel Pole 43's. Naturally, there are some humbucker models and other variants as well.

All Madtown® Guitars are crafted using genuine Emerson Pro CTS potentiometers, Emerson Pro capacitors, premium Oak Grigsby selector switches, and Switchcraft jacks. All components are tested in-house before use.   

 All Madtown® Guitars are strung using DR VERITAS VTE- 9 Handmade Quantum Nickel strings, and ship with 2 additional sets.
