Technologies: Tele

This is one of several telecaster style thinline project and is my own guitar.

All finishing was done with water based products, including the burst.

Tonally, this guitar has a very rich tone in the bridge and neck position pickups. There is a lot of detail and clarity, enough high end without becoming piercing or fatiguing and sweet mid range honk. I attribute the quality of the sound to the chambered Honduran Mahogany body with the maple top but also, the Van Zandt pickups. This is a winning combination.

The specs are as follows:

  •     Single 12” wide Honduran Mahogany Back (chamoiré grain pattern) with a small piece added to the side to complete the body width.
  •     Canadian Hard Maple top with flame pattern.
  •     Flame Maple Maple Neck with tilt back headstock.
  •     Padauk Fretboard.
  •     Stainless Steel Jescar fretwire.
  •     Pearl dot markers.
  •     Tusq nut.
  •     Allied Lutherie double action truss rod.
  •     Grover tuners
  •     Fender USA bridge
  •     Van Zandt Pure Vintage pickups
  •     Alpha 500k dual volume controls
  •     Alpha 500k / 0.022uf Tone Control
  •     Waterbased Lacquer finish
  •     Tung Oiled neck.
