The Overland -
or The Hippie Trail, a journey of self discovery and enlightenment. From Istanbul to Bombay, onto Bangkok, and beyond. A journey through intoxicating places, exotic substances, and ancient ideas. An assault on the senses which fried brains, liberated souls, and changed the music scene, ... it also inspired "The Overland" by Recaster.
Where do I start? Is it a guitar or a work of art? Is it possible that it's both?
This guitar started out as a Jackson, a pretty old one too. The fingerboard is scalloped by hand and has a flavour of the India artisan. The graphics are inspired by the trucks that rattle along the highways of Asia, bedecked with icons and symbols of good fortune and peace.
So, if you've got this far, you love the look, and you're asking "But can it be played?" The answer is "YES!" It takes a little getting used to. It takes a light touch to play as you would a guitar with a flat fingerboard, but when it comes to bends, the scallops make that so easy.
It's currently strung with 10s, but you will probably want to experiment with different gauges (I've currently put 7-38s on Recaster #26).
