New Crook Custom in the house...

zoppotrump · May 21st, 2008, 07:53 AM

Hey everybody,
here is my new Crook Custom Faded Pink Paisley Tele !
After 5 months of waiting, i finally hold it in my hands.
it´s a really beauty and plays and sounds awesome.
It features an Adder Neck PU and a Voodoo Custom wound Broadcaster Neck PU, that twangs like hell....
The neck is a AAA birdseye maple capped neck.
Again Bill Crook did a fantastic job - this is my second Crook Custom and they´re both really absolut great guitars.

Take care everybody

Congratulations! That looks gorgeous.

Happy pickin'.

bcbeak · May 21st, 2008, 08:58 AM

a beauty! How the heck do they get the aged look? Is it a coating of some sort sprayed over the base pink paisley to make it look orange? And ... it looks to me like the base pink (under pickguard) is not the bad barbie pink seen on the late models, but rather a suttle pink. Perfect!

Rob Moody · May 21st, 2008, 08:59 AM

That is sensational!

BAW4742 · May 21st, 2008, 09:04 AM

Nice - very nice!

Seems to Embody history, even though fresh off the counter!

Lovely.

Congrats! I know what you were going through. It's hell to wait for something like this. Bill is finishing up a Buck-o-caster for me right now..and this will be my second Crook too....

gtrwrks · May 22nd, 2008, 06:04 PM

Dig it, Zoppo - looks great.

Ed Bickert · May 22nd, 2008, 07:34 PM

Looks sweet! How do they do the paisley? Is that just a finished peice of wallpaper or something?

zoppotrump · May 23rd, 2008, 04:01 AM

hi folks,
thanks for the compliments about my crook paisley.
these have to go to bill crook - he build it.
as for the asked details:
- weight is almost 7.1 pound
- the output of that voodoo custom broadcaster pu is 9k
- neck radius is 9.5
as for the vintage tint, i can only guess, but i think it would be better to ask bill himself, he´s a great guy to deal with and very helpful.
take care everybody
