John Jolly still knocking it out of the park! Love it brother!

Beautiful guitar. I'm confident you already have the boots to match it!

Thanks!! Where have you been hiding?

So - the recording obviously sounded great (or maybe that's just you). But inquiring minds want to know:

Does the skin/tolex crap affect the sound of the guitar? I would think so...but for no reason. Kind of like the whole Poly vs Lacquer argument - except this is pretty extreme.

Did you have to extreme EQ or anything, missing highs, muddy, etc? Or is it just another Strat - albeit a very cool one?

Not sure why I stopped posting on here for years. Must have been caught up in life. Recently realized I missed this community, so here I am.

Weird to see Ace so obsessed with Teles but I love it.

You do not "love" a Tele. You become the Tele.

I don't normally like snakeskin, but that's very tastefully done. Nice.

[Mincer]

I like that it doesn't have the green hue of normal snakeskin patterns.

I'm sure it affects it somehow, but probably less than any poly/nitro paint job. It's pretty thin, and it's just the tolex and some glue. It's one of the loudest and most resonant guitars that I own. As far as EQing it, I just put bass, mid, treble, presence, and resonance all on 7.

That what you always do. I hate you.
