This may be a love/hate thing for the purists, but I custom ordered this one from Musikraft, just got it!

It's a two piece left handed pine body, Tele style, with a P90 neck/Strat middle/ Tele bridge pickup rout, and a vintage right handed Strat Tremolo bridge.

Also a forearm and tummy cut...

Weighs 3 pounds 5 ounces bare, and I have a TRO-V neck set to go on it.

I'm not sure about the finish, the grain is interesting, but not great, I was thinking of a clear finish, but it might get a gold or white color coat instead...

What do you think of the grain? Paint it? pics aren't great, i'll try to get a few more...

Do as you like with the finish! Either opaque or clear will be fine. Should be a great sounding guitar.

There's no such thing as "not pretty" grain. Do with it as you please. (man how many times
have I heard women say that, right?.......um.......zero)
