Crook Teles

[Pepi]

Any of you fellows own or ever played a Bill Crook Tele copy. I heard Brad Paisley playing these and they sound real good.

Thanks

Bill uses top quality stuff. Best sounding and playing tele's I have.

...and Bill is a nice guy too!
Keeps his part of the deal and more....highly recommended.

cheers

i've got one too....w/ the G bender and 4 way wiring. i get alot of people asking how they get one of their own. next one i order will have the fralin blues special instead of the voodoo brige p/u.

Thanks fellows! I've been thinking about having Bill build me just a plain jane Tele. No paisley or bender. Tell me how does he build guitars? Does he use parts from other manufactures or does he cut his own? I've also thought about building a Warmoth Tele.

Thanks again

the neck and body are from USA custom guitars.

i wish i'd have went with the fralin blues special. that's the only p/u i've been happy with.

i think this color is cool:

Yee Haw I've got a few. A Red Double Bender with 3 pickups, a Brown Sunburst one piece body with a HUGE neck and a VooDoo in the bridge, a Denim Strat style with Lawrence 290's in neck and bridge and a 280 in the middle and a prototype Semi Hollow with VooDoo Humbuckers in neck and bridge.(I need to post some pix of that one). They are simply the best guitars out there and pretty much spoil you of ever playing anything else IMHO. And not to mention Bill is a great guy to know and hang with. I am so blessed.

Try putting this in the tele or strat forum, you'll probably get many more responses!

That's the reason I posted it here. Nobody even posted with my question there

I own 2 teles Bill built for me both with USA Custom Guitar bodies and necks. They have Fralin blues special pups. Honestly, I would not trade these guitars for any other guitar -- vintage or new. Having a guitar that is tailored to your specs -- neck radius, and neck size, fret size especially --makes a huge difference to me. I like bit fat necks. I use the largest neck size USA CG offers. The fit and finish Bill puts in his guitars is wonderful and he is a really great person to deal with.
