I've always liked a Bigsby tremolo - True they can be temperamental and I know its anathema to many Tele owners but I like 'em. Introducing Guitar No.10, crafted from reclaimed White Ash with the thickness of an SG to keep the weight down. Handwound Creamery Hot Alnico 5 Tele Bridge and one of my new direct drop-in Wide Range Humbucker replacements in the neck, its my twist on the Tele Customs of the 70s.
A higher output guitar designed to really drive an amp - a real 'crunchy' sound.
The reclaimed white ash is a touch spankier sounding than swamp ash and the rosewood fingerboard warms the tone ever so slightly. Completely crafted by my own fair hands, its amazing what you can do with a piece of wood.
