A one-of-a-kind, homebuilt T-style guitar put together with real care and quality parts. The body is a striking mix of cherry and walnut around a tropical hardwood center, paired with a birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, all in a natural finish that shows off the wood. Fralin pickups, a properly done harness and smart hardware upgrades make this a well made and vibey player that stands apart from the usual Tele.
This one is set up well with 9-42s and plays great. The neck has a very full, thick profile (24.2 mm at the 1st fret, 26.3 mm at the 12th), so it will suit players who like a lot of neck in hand. Stainless steel frets mean long life and smooth bends, and Hipshot locking tuners keep it stable. The finish is very nice overall, with one small area of imperfect finish in the cutaway; see photos.
