Big project completed

I recently finished a project I've been workiing on for some time. My Telecaster.

I bought the neck from Warmouth Guitar Works. I fabricated the body myself, all maple. I did the paint job as well.

All hardware is chrome Fender original. Schaller tuners, Seymour Duncan Pickups, 1/4 pound humbucker and a Standard Tele Bridge.

I have it strung with med weight GHS Boomers. She's a blues machine..Hope you like her.

Sounds great, the Humbucker has a deep, throaty growl, reminicent of Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top). The bridge is as clean as you could ever want a la Knopfler. Together they have a real warm tone.....

Solid maple body........it will sustain for weeks...



Ummm....Not for sale.

"Tasty and crunchy", as The Man would say.

Nice job on the paint, too!

Bet those SD's do make her howl.

I still don't think so... Base price I think would be $40,001.00
