Reloved Guitars 'Oakcasters' are a limited range of full scale, fully functioning and superbly easy-to-play electric guitars that can compete with any full size guitar but are designed specifically to be taken on holiday or business trips. I’ve made them with oak bodies to retain solidity and weight for great sustain and to give the feel of a real guitar. The neck is attached with stainless steel hex bolts and threaded inserts - chosen for easy assembly & disassembly when travelling. All you need is a the supplied hex key and you're away. These guitars fit easily into a small suitcase in two pieces and the heaviest weighs only 5lb. When re-assembled with new strings at your destination the guitar returns to its low, light set up because of the snug, solid neck joint and the correct angle routed into the neck pocket. If you want you can raise or lower the action further to your taste - and that's all there is to it. 
Recent feedback from Reloved Guitars customers:“I have used your setup on my own guitars and they have never played better, you are a wonderful teacher”“The guitar arrived today and as promised it sounds and plays beautifully. I've tried a lot of baby Taylor's and travel guitars over the years and while I liked them they never quite sounded right and some were just unplayable so it's great having two that play so amazingly”“You’re amazing! I’ve made everything u reached me and my guitar is staying in tune perfectly! Thanks a lot and greetings from Brazil!””Beautiful work, Sam! It feels really comfortable to play and hold, and I love the stain/finish""What can I say it is beautiful to play now even the 11s feel slinky on them frets you have really knocked it out of the park now ... Suhr can keep his guitars!""The tele is going strong and many who have fender teles have passed comment on her playability"“Got home with my three guitars and they are magic.

I really do love it - more than I would a Gibson I think, because of the associations, memories and dreaming about those old Kay and Satellite guitars”“The guitar is fabulous and it has been something of an eye opener for me.

I buy up good quality (but badly-set up) electric guitars that have been abandoned by frustrated owners and give each one a professional set-up so that it plays better than guitars costing 5 times as much.Each Reloved guitar comes with a link to its own individual workshop HD video (see the link above) to give you confidence in the work that was done on your guitar. Better yet, I explain what I’m doing every step of the way so that you can learn how to set up a guitar yourself and know what to look for when buying second hand.I believe it’s a MYTH that only expensive guitars are good guitars and it was my aim to demonstrate that a well set-up basic learner guitar will outperform many expensive off-the-hangar brand name guitars. Once you play this Reloved guitar and watch the workshop video, you’ll understand why. Payment: by PayPal only please (for both our protection).
