Flat black Tele (Highway 1)...

They don't have one here locally, and I am intrigued by that color. Is it a satin black, not shiny color? Any one here has one? Pics would be appreciated

It comes out a pretty uniform satin black. Cool in a Darth Vader kinda way. Looks downright menacing on a P-Bass.

It's a satin black. I played one at Long & McQuade. Love the finish.

To me, this'd be a perfect candidate for modding into a "Muscle Car Tele". All killer, no filler. Pop out the pups, put a nice thick SD Humbucker in the neck, replace the bridge pup will the snarling single coil of your choice, upgrade the tuners/saddles. The no nonsense approach of the finish on this Tele just seems to suit that vibe.

Yes, I am also looking at it as a perfect candidate for a mod platform...

So... no one has one? I figured someone would have one on this site...
