BWAHAHAHAHAHA!.... Great name, cant wait to see the decal on her!
OK. 10 minutes of swearing over, that is one of, if not the sexiest builds so far.
I think I might have to UN-volunteer myself as judge for next months GOTM.
With this stunner, Stuis magnificent 'burst and Gavs Green Martian Wonder I think I would have a stress attack trying to choose.... (bribes start at $50 :P)
It has been a real joy to see this Tele come to life through all the false starts, minor dramas and questions.
Well done Glenn! A big pants off for this effort.
Great job Glenn, the Yellow Peril looks fantastic. Inspiring work.
I think my favourite pics are the "And a few more:" ones above.
Scott.
Wow! Nice work Glenn. This is a really great looking guitar.![]()
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Congrats Glen this is a lovely looking guitar, knowing tele's I bet it sounds every bit as transparent and awesome as it looks. DO you mind if share on the Wudtone site? kind regards AndyQuote from GlennGP on March 16, 2013, 16:53

Wow Glenn, that is beautiful in every way! Make sure that you have high-security systems installed in your house, in case Adam tries to fly here to Vic and steal it :P
Sorry for the delay, Andy, I've been out of range for a few days. Go right ahead, I don't mind sharing! The sound is really beautiful, but I still have some set-up and intonation details to finalise. Should be a ripper when I'm done!Quote from andypwudtone on March 21, 2013, 23:41
