Give me a little time and I will get some angled shots so you can see the carve.

You are most assuredly correct about these bridges. I have many of these on my prototype guitars.

Cool guitar, although I must say I don't quite understand the choice of a 500XL for the mid position! :scared:

Never played a guitar with one. You've piqued my curiosity, what make them so awesome?

Believe it or not, the 500XL rounds out the P90s and I have spun one of the P90s 180 degrees as well as the Bill Lawrence pickup and wired the 500XL reverse so that I have a Reverse Wound and Reverse Polarity with this guitar's wiring so that I have a similar effect that a strat has. Sounds exquisite and the Bill Lawrence pickup is not overbearing and adds enough treble for a near Tele tone. Combined with the P90s, the configuration is extremely satisfying. I used an Orange Drop cap for the treble bleed and a Bumble Bee cap for the tone control. This guitar would surprise you.

Well, now it won't. Nice job! Looks awesome.

Me too. Have heard lots about the 2Tek Warmoth retails but not as much first hand about your choice (although have read articles and good to know).

All mahogany go better with your pickups than maybe alder or mahogany with an alternative top (ie maple)? Nice guitar...

There was a time that I made repairs on a 1958 Gibson Les Paul Special (all mahogany and a pair of original vintage P90 pickups). After the repairs, I plugged the guitar in to an amp and the tone coming out of those P90 pickups almost made me cry because they sounded incredible. I offered to buy the guitar from the owner, but no dice. Mahogany and P90s are a tone that is truly meant to be. This Tele build is a tribute to that Les Paul tone hence the Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90s. This guitar sounds excellent.

Solid construction, engineered to perform well, rollers instead of a slot or knife edge, fully adjustable for height and string space, saddles lock into perfect intonation, no need to ruin the guitar body with string through body holes and the material the bridge is made of ensures excellent sustain and tone.
