Here is a sample of the Copper.
This is a regular Tele and not the Baritone but I believe this is the color they are using.
I think it looks a lot better with a black pickguard but couldn't find a picture of one with the rosewood fingerboard. :idk:

Always good to see more baritone models available. Take a bite out of the headstock and slap on a FLCL sticker to make it a Mudfuzz sig model.

Went into to GC just now and asked about what they could tell me about this. Answer?

"It's a baritone guitar in the shape of a Telecaster".

:picard:

well i think the blacktop series is supposed to be all-humbuggy... except for the surprising P90 on jazzy

and that's a pity if you ask me :grumpy:

I feel strangely compelled to buy one, slap on a synth pickup, and Vguitar it back up to standard tuning just for the lols.

That copper with a blackguard is sweet.

:lol: it'd need a Gurren Lagann sticker on there too... I am interested in what pickups they use and the wiring, personally if it's a tele you have to have a tele bridge pickup.
