 TG-250 "Lady on the Beach" Setneck - Quilted Maple
Welcome to Joe Till Guitars.
After some fits and starts I'm pleased to bring you up to date on my latest guitars. A lot has gone on here at my shop since my last update. Best of all, I now offer setnecks! In fact, you'll have to twist my arm to build a bolt-on anymore - at least for awhile. I'm having too much fun exploring the tonal and ergonomic possibilities of a glued in neck with a long tenon.
I also offer neck-through-body construction which provides the smoothest of all neck/body transitions. Go to my "Ordering a Till Guitar" section for a discussion of the pros and cons of each neck type.
 TG-250 Neck-Through-Body (Available)
My whole thing is to take a great piece of wood and see how nice of a guitar I can make out of it. Twelve years and 150 guitars later, I've developed an understanding of the instrument that gives me the confidence to offer them to buyers from around the world.
I try to give my guitars the widest range of tones possible. Through creative switching and the right set of pickups my guitars can cover all the bases. Warm, fat, buttery, twangy, spanky, jangly, snarly... And when you add piezo pickups to the mix you get all those acoustic adjectives, as well.
I currently offer two different models which can be modified endlessly. The TG-100 "Solo" and the TG-250 "Lady on the Beach". Besides their shapes, the major difference between them is their scale lengths. The Solo is built around the ultra-fast 24 3/4 inch scale (think Gibson) and the TG-250 comes standard with a Fenderesque 25 1/2 inch scale. The Lady can also be ordered with shorter or longer scales.  Smoldering Elegance Otherwise, what can be done to one model can also be done to the other. That includes bridges, pickups, woods and finishes.

RockPlates™ by Till Guitars |
|
 Koacasters I hit on an idea last year that you're gonna love: Guitar shaped light switch plates! Each one is every bit as handmade as my guitars. In fact, the milling process is remarkably similar to the way I make the caps of my guitars. Each RockPlate goes through at least 12 different woodworking procedures. And that's before the finishing processes (which are also the same). As with my guitars, I don't use robotic machinery..jpg) Curly Maple Toggle Style Blankocaster It's all tablesaws, bandsaws, routers... and tons of sanding.
My calluses have calluses!
I'm working on RockPlates.com. But, until that's up and running, your best bet is to either write to me right now at:

or call me during the day at 818-889-5130.
I also have a shop on Etsy.com. Etsy is a great place to find things made by actual human beings. You can find RockPlates and some of my guitars at www.JoeTill.Etsy.com.
Here on TillGuitars.com. I'll offer you my 'Private Stock' goodies. Extremely figured pieces. One-offs. Crazy shit.
For instance, I ran across some beautiful Koa wood flooring that just happened to be exactly wide enough for a few pairs of Blankocasters and Tillocasters.  Figured Maple Amberburst Elpy
