Here is another pair of handmade Telecaster. These were made by the Guitar Factory in Orl, Fl, and are 15 years od too. The wood used to make these was old growth, as Doug the luthier has one of the best stashes of old wood in the country. Here are the details. The pics dont do either of these guitars justice. They are both much prettier in person.
1. Incredible Blistered Maple Top, and Old growth Mahogany back Tele. It has bound top, with an incredible figured maple neck too. The color is a faded Gretsch orange that has mellowed out, and looks killer. The neck big, and has a 9.5+ radius and large frets.The pups are and gold hardware are all Fender Custom shop, and the wiring is top notch. It comes it at 8Lbs or so, and sounds incredible. It will ship is a Tweed Fender Case. This is not a parts guitar, as all the woodwork is handmade and the woods chosen for their tone and beauty.You wont see anything this beautiful from Fender,or many builders. Lastly , it had been played but not abused, so it does have some marks and wear.
$1150.00 Shipped.(Sold On another Forum)
2. Here is one for the books. This guitar is not for the timid, as it weight a ton, and I mean 11 Lbs or so. The tone of this thing will make many a Les Paul cower down, as will the weight. Its an incredible double bound Maple top( you can say its as close to a tiger flame top as it gets). The back is Solid walnut, and the neck is big 3 piece (walnut/maple/walnut), and has big frets too. The fingerboard looks like a killer piece of Brazilian. The pups are EMG's and the guitar has a Kahler Bridge and locking nut. Oh its a pointy reversed headstock. Anyways another all handmade guitar. Its been played and has some wear and checking, but not beat to death. This was very expensive build, and im basically giving it away at this price. So come and get it.
$650.00 shipped.
