Let's see your GUITAR!

Yah! That's damn cool!

Probably have some better pics somewhere but this is all I can find right now. It is a one off tele I had built. I am a LP convert so it has lots of LP-ish qualities. Body and neck are both mahogany and the neck has a fat 50's LP profile and a 12" radius. Ebony board. Neck and Body both have a nitro dog hair finish. Body has a huge 1/2" roundover. Bridge is actually a fixed bridge (saddles don't move), so it feels more like a bigsby than a fulcrum. Pickgaurd and other metal is actually sandblasted aircraft aluminum (builder has aviation background). Wide range pickup crammed into a silverfoil neck pickup enclosure and a overwound tele bridge pickup.

Holy shit this is so clean. Deets on the builder?

that is AWESOME

dang, that tele is crazy

what's the setup with the springs and the shorter saddle on the high E?

Is it a bender of some type? (EDIT: Looking at additional pics looks like a Trem just for the E string??????)
Super flipping curious feel like I should know about this

Here is a link to their facebook page, I think his website is being updated. It is a small two man operation, but they are fearless and will tackle anything. Attention to detail is mind blowing considering they just build in a garage, no fancy cnc or anything. I have had a lot of nice guitars, and nothing has compared to this. I went from being a guitar hoarder to having just this. It is now my only guitar.

The saddle looks shorter because it holds a tremolo bar there. It is an unusual tremolo setup, but not a bender. It is essentially a fixed bridge system because the saddles don't move. So it is kinda like a compact bigsby if that makes sense. It feels like a bigsby, not a fulcrum. Stays in tune great and can even pull up. The bridge is by a company called trem king.

Here is a pic with the bar on:

thanks, pretty sick setup, every detail on that guitar is perfect

[albertjq]

that trem setup is so wild, I love it

and the whole guitar is great too

Thanks for the link to those Rhinehart folks. I can see me hitting them up down the road for a custom build for sure. And your Tele is so great. I'm really, really loving that finish.

I recently picked up a new Eastwood Stormbird ($300 on closeout!) and began converting it to be the bastard child of a non-reverse Firebird and a Jazzblaster. Pretty happy with how it's coming along so far. The maestro is purely ornamental/cosmetic, btw. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to wire it up in the whacky way that I'd like to do.

[samzadgan]

wow Jake...that Eastwood looks much better now...i love the faux meastro! big peices of Chrome should always be on guitars!

[backwardsvoyager]

not mine but borrowing from a friend for a couple of months while he's overseas
bastardized 60-something musicmaster body + '65 mustang neck that's easily one of the nicest i've ever laid hands on

[skullservant]

Y'all gotta stop with these ridiculous guitars

[weed_killer]

'65 mustang neck that's easily one of the nicest i've ever laid hands on

ughh I need to get the refret done on mine so badly...

[culturejam]

Need your votes. Guard or no guard? I like both a lot. Can't decide. Guard is off now, but I'm thinking about putting it back on.

[WeHuntKings]

^ Keep the guard, I think.

Also damn. I never like flames tops but that is a gorgeous axe.
