Twinfan's going custom built again... (review and clip now added!)

[Plexi Ken]

It is fecking gorgeous!

And inspirational.........

Ideas are popping up in my head like:  a thinline version with dual Filters and a Bigsby? Or a baritone?
Anyway, I'm curious what you have cooking, Wez.

Would that be on your existing swamp ash/goncalo Thinline?

[dave_mc]

that looks badass

[WezV]

i doubt it because of the bridge issue - but that ones playing nicely too now.  although i think it will be a bit eclipsed by la cabronita tomorrow morning

[Twinfan]

I think it will be Wez!

Philly - the current thinline has a string through, but I could re-body the neck.  Or start a fresh......

great work on this guitar TF and Wez. i have to admit, i really don't like tele's and never really have. but this one looks very nice. love the colors.

[AndyR]

So?? Have you got it yet? :lol:

Did Wez mind you knocking on the door at 6 am?

That's a cool guitar. But I prefer the smaller pickguard.

I actually prefer the small scratchplate too  :oops:
Seems odd to have a custom finish (sparkle sea foam/surf green ?) and cover so much of it  :?

I got back about and hour ago and can report that La Cabronita is a very nice guitar indeed. It was tele city at Wez's place this morning. I counted at least 5 - there may have been more but I can't remember!

[WezV]

about 5:

your blue esquire
Daves red spangle tele
Daves thinline warmoth
the little donkey bar-steward, or whatever we are calling it (some discussion over the meaning of la cabronita)
My burl maple with ebony neck tele

+ there was my half completed stratele in the corner

[Twinfan]

I'm still at my Mum's, and will be until late this evening, so it'll be a while until I give a full tone report.

What I will say though, is that Wez and Mike have done a superb job with this guitar - the pictures just don't do it justice!  I really can't wait to try it out through my Martamp Orion.  The brief test I gave it at Wez's indicates that it's going to be a little belter.....

[Twinfan]

I was right - it's a little belter!

The great thing about this gutiar is that it combines the best elements from my other guitars:

* It plays as slickly, and has the same neck profile, as my Modern Eagle
* It has the snap and attack of my Custom Shop Tele
* It's got the singing midrange of my Korina McCarty
* It has the open yet beefy tone of my Fano JM6
etc

I'll crank the Orion up a bit later today when the neighbours are up and about, and give it a good run out at rehearsal on Tuesday night, but the indications are that this will be my main gigging guitar  :o  I'll need the Eagle for the heavier stuff like Slither by Velvet Revolver, but for clean stuff through to classic rock it'll be the Cabronita all the way I reckon.  Awesome.

The c--ked wah effect works really well with lots of gain for a great lead sound, I can see me using that a lot  :)

Result all round - thanks again Wez!
