... Because a Butcher's Block can make a great guitar!
Custom handmade Telecaster guitar from The Creamery. Handcrafted from an old Butcher's Block.
There was just something about it. When tapped it had that 'ring', that sound that was far more than the usual dull thud you get with many woods. Maybe its the many blocks of birch laminated together under pressure. Maybe its the 40mm thickness. Maybe, maybe, maybe. One thing's for sure - it sounds good. So here it is, the Butcher's Block Telecaster guitar
Oiled birch, bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard to temper the bright sound from the birch wood, and a custom white pearl scratchplate, individual saddles on a stamped steel bridge - this guitar has a warm snap and growl when breaking up.
Jaime, the Butchers Block is MAD FRESH! .... I love that you hail from Manchester too.
