Let me submit my instrument for your consideration!
I designed this classic Telecaster in Texac style.
The story began when a very nice Japanese wavy ash-tree board got into my hands. I planned to divide it into several parts to construct a body but my friend made me change my mind. He advised me not to divide that nice board but to make a Telecaster neck of it. This classic model exactly suited my ash-three board without any extra constructions.
The guitar design was planned as classic Telecaster but the wood used to construct the neck and fingerboard is not traditional!
Taking into account the character and history of this instrument I decided to embody some proper images in it and gave the guitar style of blues and country ballads.
This instrument is not the first I have ever made but it is the first in which I have used new technology of designing. The guitar is intended for performing both blues and country music.
I had been making it for seven months.
