SWEET!

John, you do some amazing work. Sapele guitar is amazing, and I love those teles! Where did you learn how to build electrics, or did you just teach yourself?

Thanks Jeff. I just winged it on the electrics. I did not have any training
on them, just flew by the seat of my pants. I normally work better that
way.

[QUOTE=highdrawlicks] John,
Sorry to see you got stuck with such defective sapele. I guess it truly is
buyer beware. One tip though: Next time final sand with a hard block
and maybe you'll be able to flatten out those ugly wrinkles.[/QUOTE]

HAHA.. nice..

Man, that acoustic is gorgeous! Really nice variation on the electric's 6-on-a-side headstock, too.

John, beautiful work again, as usual. Love the sapele, and wouldn't mind having one of those tele's either.

Good luck at HB.

Good job, John! I love the wood, and I have to get me some of that stuff!
I like the teles too, it's good to see some of those popping up. It doesn't seem like there's too many around here. Are your teles set-necks or bolt-ons?
I like to make electrics as well as acoustics, and I even make "hybrids"!
