westhemann Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I like that.Not a fan of the Tele but that one is cool. I think if it were a set neck I would be in love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXEMON DAN Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I like the top wood alot but your choice of grain pattern and wood for the back of this build is "really sweet" nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turn Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 very nice work! the swept body shape, binding, and semi-hollowness reminds me of those mid-70's starcasters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 This is great, I love that "leaning" look, reminds me of the peavey wolfgangs! Great wood choices, everything seems to compliment each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
