stiggz Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 hey this is a concept i was thinkin bout last night, a carved top tele, i was thinkin that u can pull of a carved top type thing with most "traditional" body types like the soloist, PRS, lespaul etc, (not really the pointy and kinda bad lookin giutars). back to my point is it do able? and would it be any good? luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 though i haven't seen any up close to tell you what i think of them, i know that fender makes a few carved top teles like the 'Custom Telecaster FMT' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Fender does have a carved top tele but I find the carve to be too shallow. It's barely noticable. I'm doing a carved top tele style myself...er was doing it, it has been sitting for a long time unfinished. Here's my carved top tele style project . I need to take some side view pics to show how deep the carve is. PRS deep carve. I still need to finish up the upper bout carve though.

Drak Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I guess little Blanco sort of qualifies, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Headen Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 You might wanna read the picture posting rules again mullmuzzler. Hot-linking is a big no-no. And you're only supposed to have one pic per post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
