Nelsonic Transitone hot rod guitar!
Posted by Jon in • Cool Guitars in • Crazy Guitar Designs
I love the ‘50’s hot rod styling of this guitar, it is a Campbell American Guitars - Nelsonic Transitone quite a mouthful! Blinged up with gold hardware, gold Gotoh roller bridge trem and Sperzel gold locking machine heads. This guitar is a souped up version of the Transitone for those who prefer their guitars a little more understated. The Transitone only has 1 pickguard which also a different style and chrome hardware to reduce a bit of that gold glare! Also the body is Basswood as standard rather than the more exotic Honduran mahogany with a red nitro cellulose lacquer on the Nelsonic.
Clicking on ads has been proven to make you a better guitar player, just wanted to put that out there...


Hurrah for Bill Nelson! I saw him in concert about two years ago and he played 10 different guitars during the show. (I counted them).
I think I like the look of this better than the Gretch Billy Bo, but the Gretch is chambered and may sound fatter.
It’s not a guitar I would play everyday but I really like the styling of the scratchplate.
