Cyberthrasher Report post Posted October 18, 2012 Both of these artists are good close friends of mine. For those of you not familiar with CJ, he's been well known in the chopper world since at least the 60's, and has been documented throughout all the magazines with much of his work being highly sought out. Why do I say this? To show how seriously KOOL this piece is going to be!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted October 19, 2012 that walnut body and burl birdseye maple neck will be a sweet looking combination with a leather pick guard I think walnut carries the right tone for the telecaster Just last year I made a Tele for a customer.

chancey77 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Ya Walnut is a glorious piece of wood for a tele! But I am only using it for its tone. The guitar will be entirely wrapped in leather. I have gotten so many comments about people thinking that leather guitars only ever have a western theme even though my last one is NITHING LIKE ANY ITHER TELE EVER MADE but ya it was still Wild West themed; so for these we are going far outside the box on that so I can continue to smash the traditional boundaries. I think everyone will be surprised:) I have about 50 ideas so I am narrowing it down to so what is next:) Edited October 20, 2012 by chancey77 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
