For the Love of a Blonde... Telecaster, That is!

Gotta love a Blonde Telecaster... What's better than a blonde and maple Tele? A MODDED Blonde and Maple Telecaster!

This one's got completely customized electronics, a Mini humbucker, a Lace, a reissue bridge pickup, a bone nut, and a nice 5-way switch scheme.

Nice...

The Ibanez RGT42DX in White! A Neck-through Beauty!

I only had the pleasure of having this guitar for a week, but I loved it. I'm going to look for another one someday. It's a GREAT guitar that FEELS, LOOKS, and SOUNDS like a million bucks... And the bridge is very effective with its low profile.

How about some PICTURES?

















Fender FSR Straight 6 Stratocaster

I've recently purchased two Fender FSR Straight 6 Strats. One of which I have customized into a tribute to David Gilmour (I'll publish photos of my interpretation of my own "Black Strat" in another post in another time)... The Straight Six makes a nice basis for customized Strats...

These have great necks and frets, excellent body balance, a super-cool nitrocellulose finish (like my Highway 1 Stratcoaster), and that great Fender feel!

Here are some pictures of my second Straight Six, fresh out of the box!

So, let's look at some pictures!
