Just got the latest pics from Aaron (Blueline) of my painted Tele.. I honestly had no idea the maple top would look so awesome with a finish on it. These pics completely blew me away. He said the pics were taken outside in sunlight, so it's a pretty good depiction of what it actually looks like.

In case you're wondering, the large route in the bridge area is for the Piezo system.

Expect a hands on review in a few weeks. :dance: (*knock on wood*)

I think its gonna be totally killer with the gold hardware and knobs - very luxurious
Pardon the appearance under the bridge - i like all parts of my guitar to be clean and neat even if unseen, but given that this guitar has a heavy rosewood neck, and a semi-hollow body, I wanted to keep as much weight in the body as possible, preserving every inch of wook I could

Cheers

and a coil tap on the '59 just for good measure. :laugh2: I wonder how many seperate tones are gonna be possible with this thing.. :dance:
 
Re: (PICS) NEW painted Custom Tele pics!

11 tones

5 different magnetic (B, B+N, N, B+N(split), N(split))
plus 5 with blended piezo (B/piezo, B+N/piezo, N/piezo, B+N(split)/piezo, N(split)/piezo)
plus straight piezo
so 11

just wait and see what I can do with 3 pickups and a piezo

is that nitro, btw?

I think right now it's just dye.. the clear coat still has to be put on if I read his email correctly. The clear coat will be poly, though, just so I don't have to worry about breathing on the guitar funny and messing up the finish. (I don't want to wait for it to cure, etc :laugh2: )
