All partscasters of various assemblages.
Do Teles take up the most realestate in your gear shed these days? I assumed Strats had the largest shareholding? But by the looks of this photo Teles might be taking over!

Tokai Breezysound. My first Tele. It was a lovely thing and still works hard around the pubs. We parted company a few years ago. Still have the original pickguard though. :D

Originally John Jorgenson and later, Tommy Emmanuel. Actually, before he and John met, so they were together on my pickguard first............ oh never mind. :lol:

+1. That neck is awesome.
Agreed.
Rosewood necked guitars are one of my favourite things, yet I've never owned one. They lend a wonderful attack characteristic to the note and just look and feel amazing.
The neck on that one is kwila, not rosewood. No truss rod.

Yes, that's the one. I had plans to use it on a korina cabronita, but I ballsed it up and promptly ran out of time, money and workshop. Good to see it in use as very little else has made it out into the wild since.
