This one is an ash-bodied Xaviere tele-clone that is set-up for slide guitar, that is what the previous owner suggested, though I have played it and tend to like low action and it is very playable.
TUSQ nut
Gibson-style 1950s wiring with a Mojo "Dijon" 0.022uF tone cap, and ALPHA 500K ohm pots.
Wilkenson bridge with brass barrels.
Xaviere vintage TELE pickups with cloth leads. I think that these are the "pro" versions, but don't hold me to that.
010-046 strings (probably GHS Boomers).
The ash was originally finished in clear polyurethane, but it wasn't very pretty, previous owner applied ReRanch lacquer in cream yellow. The good news: there's LOTS of lacquer on there and it looks pretty good (from a distance).
The bad news: I didn't sand-off all the orange-peel, cause I went through the lacquer in a couple of spots AND chipped the lacquer at the eyelets on the back.
