Fretboard Journal issue #39

I'm thrilled to see this feature on my work in the latest Fretboard Journal. A great article written by Mike Adams, with glorious photography by Kristoffer Paulsen.

Inspired by the framus television guitars of the 1960s this custom-ordered harvester gets all the trimmings - including two-tiered pickguard, mastery bridge and vibrato and a set of three tv jones t'armond pickups controlled by a latching-pushbutton array.

'Rhubarb' a custom offset with 'the full mastery' and a glorious set of lance amplification wide-range-t-bird pickups.

shortscale harvester lupine.

This guy has a 23.5" scale and an easy action bigsby, inspired by my love for little student guitars from the 1950s and 60s.

Here's a quick insta-review from WILCO HQ following the arrival of JEFF TWEEDY'S custom MASTERY BRIDGE equipped HARVESTER ANTONIO guitar.

HARVESTER guitars are made by hand here in Melbourne Australia.

Each one is a unique exploration of my own design obsessions and my customers' needs, wants & desires.

If you'd like to plan an instrument with me - get in touch.

There's a new page here with more details about ordering a guitar.

business is booming at harvester.

turnaround times for new custom orders are currently at around 12 months for wooden-necked guitars and 16 months for antonio hybrid neck instruments.

i like to quote for each hand-made build individualy and get to know a little about my customers.

base prices for orders are US$2600 for wooden instruments & US$3500 for antonio series hybrid metal-neck instruments * this covers a solid-body, 2 pickup single-coil guitar with fixed tailpiece. from there i simply add parts and complexities/curlicues/doodads at cost and allow for any time-consuming diversions like binding, templating new designs etc

stay tuned for some harvester 'models' to simplify the ordering process, to offer some 'economy of scale' and to consolidate and hone in on some of my favourite tangents that i've explored in recent years.

* completed one-off guitars for direct sale here

cheers, AP

These instruments are hand made in my one-man workshop in Melbourne, Australia. There are no 'models' as such, I am happy to repeat or revisit older Harvesters for new customers but I am also always looking for new antidotes and avenues to explore.

I ship guitars all over the world. Recent guitar orders have come in from Norway, Czech Republic, USA & Italy. My workshop in Seddon is also open ( by appt ) to Melbourne musicians for repairs, setups & restorations.
