Thanks Mike!

I'm not sure on the hours. This one has been a "tooling up" process so there have been lots of hours in modifying tools, building jigs and such. Let's put it this way, I couldn't sell it at a profit. :D

Peace,

Hi Dave. I will definately post some tracks. I've been writing some new stuff that I think will be great for Tele...but I can do some metal, too.

Well, after almost a year in the making, The Texas Tele is complete. I buffed it out this morning and I'm very pleased with the results. The grain really pops and it's very close to my original concept.

I went back and found a mock up shot with the full size printout taped to it and replicated the shot with the finished guitar. The flash washes it out a bit so I'll have to take some better pics tomorrow in enough light that I can turn off the flash.

Glad to have this one done. It's very easy to play and sounds pretty good. I'll post some sound clips later.

Peace,
Mark
