Thanks for the kind words Depictedminds... the Tele was played by a working muso on Saturday night and it sounded awesome the bridge pickup in particular was incredible and he loved it, to the point that he played the Tele all night instead of his American Fender Strat, just need him to buy it lol! How much the tone ferrule block made to the sound I can't say, and the Cypress Pine body well thats another tone debate! I only have one video of it playing and that was on my iphone if I can clean up the sound a bit I will try and post it... Glad you liked it!
Definitely one of those "not really my thing but it looks so good that I might have to rethink what my thing is" guitars. If that makes sense.
Or to sum it up in a word: Stunning.
Never been a fan of the snakes head headstock but oh my that is a stunning piece of work right there.
That is art
Wasn't really my thing either on paper... When I cut out the body I thought it looked a bit like a bread board, so I asked a local artist to do something with it and the snake was the end result, now I love it. BTW the artist is on facebook as Gee-Gal and she has purchased a tele kit from pitbull and is carving a giant redback spider into the body, hopefully she will put up a build diary soon, its stunning!
