Meat And Potatoes Snarl-E-squire-caster.

Well, Meat anyway

Made this body last year, and got an itch this morning.

I do not plan to post much, but figured I'd post this little baby.

I know a lot of folks dig the simple things in life and Teles, so I hope some enjoyment can be shared. Even if a little bit of the enjoyment playing it comes from looking at it's simple elegance, please enjoy if this is your bag.

2008 Standard MIM Tele neck with some sweet medium frets, Wilky dual load bridge top loaded with brass stepped/intonated saddles, Ping staggered Fender keys, No tone circuit, 8.5k Tex/Mex pickup with DIY baseplate, 1-1/2 inch thick reclaimed 40 year old pine body with simple white nitro steel wooled for the flat efect, total guitar weight 5.8 lbs. A temporary pickguard which is carbon vinyl over some thin plastic cutting board until I get some bake-o-lite for the final PG, and it will eventually need a snake head headstock neck with bottom truss adjust. But I can play it this way in the meantime.

When you open the throttle up with the no tone Circuit set up [or not set up ;)], the snarl really ensures... She is dead silent wide open too, after I pulled the springs in favor of some surgical tubing for pickup springs that is, whew!

OK, Last Pic. This old tweed busted case seems to look like the right home for the Snarly Caster.

I like the "old-schoolness" of it.

Good job.
