description Nash Guitars S-63 Overview
The Nash Guitars S-63 represents a modern recreation of classic American electric guitars. Built in Olympia, Washington, these instruments feature an alder body designed to evoke the tone and feel of 1960s instruments. The rosewood fingerboard and carefully crafted pickguard options contribute to its aged appearance. It’s particularly appealing to guitarists seeking vintage-inspired singlecoil sounds and a resonant instrument for blues, rock, and country styles.
help Nash Guitars S-63 FAQ
What makes the Nash S-63 different from the S-57?
The S-63 normally follows an early-1960s formula with an alder body and rosewood fingerboard. The S-57 instead evokes a late-1950s instrument with an ash body and one-piece maple neck.
Are Nash S-63 guitars genuinely old instruments?
No, they are modern guitars built in Olympia, Washington, then deliberately aged to reproduce decades of wear. The checking, rubbed finish, and oxidized-looking hardware are cosmetic treatments rather than evidence of a 1963 manufacture date.
Does the S-63 use standard Stratocaster-style controls?
Its three single-coil pickups, vibrato bridge, and double-cutaway body place it firmly in the traditional S-style category. Exact pickup and neck specifications can vary between individual Nash dealer builds, so the listing sheet matters.
Can I order an S-63 with a completely clean finish?
Nash is chiefly known for aged instruments, and new dealer stock is commonly offered in light, medium, or heavier aging treatments. Buyers wanting an untouched modern finish may find a Fender American Vintage II or a custom builder more suitable.
