Mestric M5456 Standard Series — White Blonde · Serial #018
#018 · White Blonde
Serial #017 is finished in "White Blonde" — a classy combo with the Maple neck and single ply white pickguard that's topped off with heavily worn, aged pickup covers and knobs.
As with all Standard Series guitars, the finish is nitrocellulose lacquer and individually aged in our Port Macquarie workshop.
Body & Neck
The M5456 is built around an Ash body paired with a one-piece maple neck and integrated maple fingerboard. It uses a 25.5" scale length and a 9.5" radius fingerboard. The 21-fret board is fitted with Jescar 58118-S stainless steel frets, precision-levelled on the PLEK machine and finished by hand. The bone nut is cut on the PLEK to match the fretwork and is set up for 10–46 gauge strings. Neck profile is a C-shape, measuring on average 21.7mm at the first fret and 24.66mm at the twelfth fret.
Pickups & Electronics
The Mestric pickup set is hand-wound in-house around Alnico V magnets using Formvar-insulated wire. It is a traditional SSS configuration with a reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum cancellation in positions 2 and 4. Electronics comprise a CRL 5-way selector switch, CTS 250k potentiometers, a paper-in-oil capacitor, push-back cloth wiring throughout, and a Switchcraft output jack.
Finish & Hardware
Every Mestric guitar is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer and hand-aged in the Port Macquarie workshop. All hardware is Gotoh, hand-aged in-house together with the plastics, screws, and pickup covers. Each instrument is finished individually; aging character and detail vary between guitars.
