It looks great, but that thing over the bridge pickup? I guess that must be based on something Mr. Cooder uses? Maybe for slide playing it would be an asset instead of a palm-ripper.

I’ve always wondered what up with those bridge pickups.

I’ve always wondered what up with those bridge pickups.

It’s a string through lap steel pickup. You can buy fancy reproductions

Would love to spend some time with one of those Coodercasters, but the paint — the whole colour scheme, honestly — really isn’t working for me on this one. It fucks, though, obviously.

Blue fail...

That bridge pickup contraption would drive me nuts, so it's a nope from me.

This exactly.

 

[Machinegunner]

Def. not a strat type I’d ever be interested in.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Cool idea. Yet as good Ry sounds (which is awesome), I don't feel the need to try to emulate him or for his guitar...unless he wanted to actually give me his guitar.

I'm in this camp.

Early Ric pickups were also similarly constructed where the strings run through the pickup. For example, old Ric basses.

 

[Knox in Box]

I'm sure it sounds awesome in the right hands, like Isbell's Coodercaster.
Unfortunately I like palm mute dynamics too much even while playing clean.

 

[Honkridge]

Might be a fire breather but that bridge pup cover ruins everything

 

[PunkKitty]

This reeks of Bill Harden.

 

[Bob411]

Only thing I can't get over is how bad the blue in the pickguard doesn't go with the blue on the body, which doesn't go with the blue knobs.

 

[Chicken Man]

I'd give it a try.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I’d give it a go.

This reeks of Bill Harden.

I’ve not heard good things about his guitars. Back in the day though Rockin’ Billy was a wild man.
