Ghost riders stage coach robbery leather coverd tele project
I am sure yall are a tuff crowd...but I hope this one gets some welcomed response. I got a Warmoth Tele body and took apart my american tele so I could save the body parts and then keep building so I will have 2...here is a brief photo of the project. I am just going to use the neck, and electronics for now, but want to upgrade everything as soon as I get the cash. With some JB pups and neck.
I have been doing leather work for about 20+ years and finally I had to just knuckle down and make myself something! A TELE!
I was starting to get bored with all the traditional Sheridan Style Floral patterns on Teles' ( I still love them, but there are so many Waylon Copies out there and that style I was just bored with it), so I had my wife draw up what I had in mind and I got to work...I call it the "GHOST RIDERS STAGE COACH ROBBERY".
I am thinking of maybe doing about 3 all together...but lets get this one done first:) LOLOL

Way cool! Looks like the top may not be finished. Would love to see it when it is. Planning color or shading?

I did do a black version with white highlights and natural pickguard...but I wasn't happy with the way it turned out...so it will be just like the back and sides natural with black dye and highlights.
I am glad yall dig it! I will keep you all posted on teh progress...
I keep forgetting I hav 3 teles..:).a 72 GREEN SPARKLE EKO TELE is also in my arsenal with my Gretches' and EJ 200

Nice work!
THANKS!
Well, I am from Florida originally and my bass player is from Texas we have been playing for about 12 years now all over the world, so I have been to Texas MANY, MANY TIMES!
I have played SXSW 3 times and we have a Festival that my band SIXGUN REPUBLIC hosts called Texas Liberty Fest in Selma Texas every couple years, it is on San Jacinto Day:)
I just fell in love with Finland while on tour here and needed a serious break from NYC at the time...so my wife is form here and we live here in Helsinki now. Beautiful summer weather (compared to Florida) hmmmm 60's or 98+???? I'll take 60-70!...but day light goes down at 11pm now and up at 3:30 already...so it takes some getting used to, the closer we get to Midsummers the more and more light there is...it is getting very hard to go to bed and wake up at a decent hour..but I have been waking up at 5 when the sun hits my window now which is VERY ANNOYING!:) LOLOL. I need black curtains soon.

Fantastic You have inspired me to have a go as well now.
Love the way you stuck Chancey on coach.
Years ago A friend did a cartoon Welsh Dragon sitting on an amp playing guitar for a T shirt, gonna see if I can replicate it in leather for my Esquire.

Nice job; I'm assuming you'll sew it on? Or glue? Either way, it looks unique and classy.
