    What kind of timber is this?

    Quarter sawn ash with aged nitro?

    Looks more like flat sawn Ash to me.. But I have been known to be wrong

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Looking at it I reckon its a one piece body, judging by the continuity of the figure.

    It would have been a custom build for Keef...
    So I reckon one piece.
    Cant see him playing an off the shelf axe.

    Well I guess as I don't have the tools to do it as a scratchy, nor do I have the cash for a custom shop tele, I can see a TLA-1 hoving into view on the horizon...

    Also given how poor a guitarist I am, the 5 string open tune thing will also not feature
