Not in the slightest.. the electronics are where it's at... I've also got a tele with maple neck... I basically sound the same on all my tele's acoustically... the pickups are where the differences come into play...

of course if I had the same pickup's on all the guitars there would probably be a VERY MINUTE difference in the upper frequency spectrum.... of course you probably wouldn't hear it unless you plugged each tele directly into a recording machine and did some pinch harmonics or something of that nature...... but.... at band levels.... no difference at all...

They are all so cool looking, all three of them. wow!! You really know what you're doing. I may have to buy one of those necks. Can I ask what the setback was in cost?????
I'm in awe. I'm not kidding. I'm keeping those pics. The first ones I've ever kept by the way. Food for thought.....it would be kinda cool to have an album of all the different tele's I come across. Hmmmm...

Thank's hugo... I really love simplistic designs....

I love the look of the clear case ones (although the black ones look great too of course). Glad to hear they sound great as well. Very nice stuff!


Dude... I am the first one to dive head first and try something new... we shouldn't be afraid of technology.... we should embrace it... ESPECIALLY Q-Tuners..... they're UNBELIEVABLE... Every guitar player that plays that tele falls in love with the pickups.... Erno Zwann, the pickup's designer, is an incredibly brilliant fellow... his book, Animal Magnetism, is a great read if you want to find out the science behind these pickups..

The necks are Wenge with an Ebony fretboard... No finish required... and I LOVE the feel of them.... I know I say this alot... but EVERY guitar player that plays them loves the feel....

That wenge/ebony neck looks unreal! I did some research and you can definitely leave it unfinished. I'm definitely considering it on one of my Tele projects down the track. Might look good on a Walnut body.

dude... you won't be sorry... they're incredible..... 59 roundback contour.... SS frets... 10-16 radius... I love every second i'm playing on them...



By the way.... While I like the Harry Bardens on the backup guitar... I've decided to go with Dimarzio Area T Pickups.... so... it won't be as sleek looking.... but... hey.... she's only the backup... right?.... just kidding... When I get dimarzio's on her, she will be my new number 1....

thanks guys... pm me if you have any questions about any of the products on these tele's.... I've purposely built these guitars to try out as big of a variety of products I could... and what's not on these guitars... probably has been at one point or another...
