NGD, Tele with modernish features

What's Hot
CorvusCorvus Frets: 2966
in Guitar tFB Trader
Been working on a T-style but sleeker, bit more modern. It's got a cut away heel, 12" radius, a heel-adjust rod you don't need to move the neck for. Neck Filtertron with a switchable bass cut. Sort of a lines & stripes thing going on. It weighs 6lbs so is fairly chuckable.
Pretty happy with how it sounds & plays, the neck's really clear and single-coily. There's a M&M thread here but pic dump ahoy -

    That is an astonishing looking thing. I can't even conceive just building that at home, wonderful work. Looks like it's just rolled out of a custom shop.

    That looks absolutely superb. I love the vibrant red, the binding enhances the colour - a beautiful guitar.

    Wow - that’s great. The lines and stripes thing works well - lots of detail to pick out in the binding, skunk stripe etc.

  • Veeeerrrry nice... probably the nicest Tele I've ever seen, I reckon
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    I'm probably the only member of this forum mentioned by name in Whiskey in the Jar ;)

  • It's the little things that make it for me. The fact that the stripes on the back of the neck are a similar shade of red to the body, the way the filtertron fits perfectly, the go faster racing stripe down the middle.

    Really well done.
    Just so people are aware. I have no idea what any of these words mean.

    Fabulous. As an incurable traditionalist I was preparing for the worst at "modernish features" but that looks an absolute classic.

    I love the leafy pattern, very clever but stencil relicing work I reckon.
