That looks excellent to me...it made me want to play it.

Never thought in all the years that I'd rather spend a day in a shop building a guitar than gigging but funny how things change. It's builders like you that caused that.

I enjoyed the video too.

Thanks for sharing Brian.

Michael

Sweet!
Nice take on the Tele. And it's always nice to hear the maker's chops.

I enjoyed watching you play it, Brian...that's a very nice looking Tele. I LIKE the Chechan grain. I hadn't heard of this before. I'm going to look into it....thanks.

Nice Brian! That is a cool engraved neck plate. How do you do that? Also, how did you stain the ash? Transtint? What color?

It also has very nice tone.

The neck plate was done for me by these folks, I provided the artwork.

The ash was stained with Behlens Solar-lux to match the natural Chechen. Was One part Nutmeg brown, 4 parts Hickory.
