thought I'd share..

Postby KRamone27 » Sun Apr 08, 2012 6:27 pm

a project I did for a forum member over at strat talk. He traded me a loaded strat body for a custom built left handed ash tele body. The body is 2 piece northern ash with 2 humbuckers at the neck and middle with a right handed bridge pick up, everything else is standard tele. The other body in the pics will be available for purchase soon.

Kevin, I love the way the two pieces of wood's grain patterns converge under the neck pocket. That is one good-looking Tele body.

Nice bookmatch! The grain patterns look super. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product if you can get photos...
