Members MattACaster Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 Our singer finished his latest Tele build and it is damn sexy, He even wound his own pickups... Kind of a cross between a Thinline Tele and an LP. The thing plays and sounds great! First Thinline I've played that I've liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 I am not a fan of the headstock, but the rest of that guitar looks awesome! Did he do all the cutting, or did he piece together other people's pieces of wood (i.e. did he buy the body pre-made, or did he cut it out himself)?

Members Dolf Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah, no me gusta headstock. Also, while I like the IDEA of the mudflap girl cutout (and it's very well done), in practice I think it looks funny. Looks like your buddy does pretty amazing work, any way you slice it.

Members greg apocalypse Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 That's great, I'm chcking out his website. Guy has pretty good taste. Cool looking tele. Same opinion on the headstock - I don't like it. Cool idea, craftsmanship on it is nice, but not my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 He did it all himself. He does nice work! I would love to play it and see how the action and fret dress is, but from those pictures it looks like top quality. It looks like a chambered mahogany body with maple top, is that correct? I bet it sounds pretty awesome, and I could only imagine if there were some P90s in there Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it sounds pretty awesome, and I could only imagine if there were some P90s in there Cole I believe so, yes. He's pretty awesome at fret work. I had a few guitar that needed some fret stuff done on that I passed off to him and was 100% satisfied with his work. Seems like every time the band gets together, I end up hanging him a couple guitars to take home and work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tech21man Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 Excellent work! Personally I wouldn't do the headstock as it is though. Actually I wouldn't do the tele headstock at all this guitar could be even more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
