hippietim Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 This is the first parts guitar I put together all by myself. The body is one of USA Custom Guitars' fine ash Tele's. The neck is scalloped so I had to get that from Warmoth. I wanted an Antigua style finish but didn't have any good color samples. Ty at Roxy Guitar Finish did a very cool finish - not quite Antigua but very sweet indeed. The pickups pictured are Kinman Broadcasters, standard Kluson style tuners, modern 6 saddle bridge. I have since swapped the bridge pickup out for a Duncan Hot Rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazyderek Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 pretty cool, nice neck, good call on the hot rails! but you should really get rid of that peice of junk amp in the backround, and since i'm just such a nice guy though i'll take it off your hands free of charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of you to take it off my hands. What's your address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butnut Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Wow, that is quite a unique look there hippietim. I do like that subtle Antigua paint. Feel free to show it off at www.telemodders.com First scalloped Tele I've seen, I would'nt know how the heck to play one. What other amps you want off your hands?

erikbojerik Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I particularly like the finish...more subtle than the Antigua, which is much too stark IMO. Just curious...when you play a scalloped neck, do your fingers actually touch the wood beneath the strings? I would think this takes a really precise touch to stay "on tone" (in tune?).
