Just about to ship this off to our forum buddy : Roland Rat
Gareth has a few of my guitars now - being a lefty he feels that there is less good choice for off the shelf guitars so by going the extra mile and ordering custom he gets what he wants and great quality too!
Today's guitar is a Tabby model - kind of like the Nashville Tele
We went with a transparent black that from any further than 18 inches away looks like solid black but up close you can see the grain
Here I have overexposed a bit in photoshop to let you see the grain in a photo
The body also has strat style body contours - the ribcage cut on the back and the forearm cut on the front which you can kind of see in this piccy
The neck is a pretty striking piece of birdeye maple
Inlays were all black tahiti pearl
Sperzel locking machineheads handle the tuning duties
Our all access heel joint makes the top end a bit more comfy
Pickups are Bare Knuckle Yardbirds with a Mothers Milk in the middle
Switching is a 4 way tele switch for the tele pickups and the middle pickup can be brought into the mix via push pulls on the volume and tone controls
