Comon, Ive seen Teles be metal in eons past, and that finish is sexy as hell. Think its a beautiful guitar. BUT, it has 24 frets?!?, meaning that you chose THAT body?!? For THAT neck?!? Super tele? Or Telebody? or deviant behavior. The politics of personal taste. Great lookin combo however, and I would touch it reverently for our first meeting. Might have to check out Carvins natural finishes in the future.
