That's really really nice TC! Might be a little "too" american for my tastes but it does look really sweet...

Too bad you're already selling it... Have you already bought the V or just looking for one?

Re: Custom tele project finished

The paint was professionally done. It sounds good. More rock-n-roll with the lil'59 (a good thing IMO), but it still has some tele vibe. The neck profile is whatever the USA standard is for the Hwy 1. I believe it's 9.5 radious, but it feels a little flatter/faster to me. Action is very low right now. My Gibson dealer had the V shipped from Gibson Wednesday, it should be in either today (hopefully) or Monday. Its a natural V98 witht he 58 style pickguard and gold hardware. I'm going to yank the 500T/496R and add a set of gold DUncans I already have on-hand (CC bridge and Seth neck).

It looks like this (but will have gold pickups):

You are the ultimate gearwhore....even moreso than GJ. I think you need some kind of forum gloss indicating your status -

Garden Gear Slut maybe.....

Re: Custom tele project finished

I reckon you should refinish your incoming Flying V to look like the image in your avatar

Re: Custom tele project finished

I'll be straight-up with you guys, I have just about $800 into this guitar. $499 is a steal, $725 is fair IMO. Either way, off it goes.....

Re: Custom tele project finished

It's way over patriotic for me, so it's wrong that I dig it I love the US though so it's alright. But still I'd never do one with my country's flag!

Re: Custom tele project finished

Not always, I haven't had any questions about it yet. I had another auction once with over 30 watchers that never got a bid. Ya just never know.
