    Thanks, Gavin. She sounds good unplugged but not much volume, naturally. Sweet through an amp or sound system, though.

    Nice entries so far!!Im just catching up.... I like the spalted top on Mulldoe's LP-1SS.. its hard to get good pics of any kind of figured top under gloss, so I feel your pain! It looks good! I like the black hardware...I dont know what smick means, but Im assuming its good! Ill add it to my new vocabulary once somebody tells me what it is!
    Im not a huge Tele fan, but I love figured wood, especially quilted maple! Mark, you kept the grain subdued, which isnt something I normally like, but it definitely has a vintage look about it!
    Fretworn.. I like the 12 string! Different... very interesting wiring choice!
    Lipponen.. now this is a Tele that catches my eye! Love the trem.. its very Gretsch-like
    Papaken... is that a wooden TRC? Looks nice.. I like natural looking finishes.. so far so good... nice guitars again! Theres alot of talent here....

    Davey, yes the truss rod cover is a piece of hard maple left over from a lap steel project I built from scratch. Just like the looks of real wood as opposed to plastic when I can do it. I have since also added a maple TRC to my ES-1GT which I entered in the Feb GOTM. Click image for larger version.
