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. http://www.customneckplate.com/custom-image-neck-plates/ The ash was stained with Behlens Solar-lux to match the natural Chechen. Was One part Nutmeg brown, 4 parts Hickory. |
