Thanks for reposting those!

I only wish that I hadn't viewed them, right before bed... oh, the nightmares!

I’m a vegan for ethical reasons but FUCK WOODWORMS AND SILVERFISH. (The latter eats comics.)

I’m curious if there’s a certain ring or timbre that “holy tele” has due to its inner holes? I find hollow bodies to be way too bassy and midrangey, and teles to be a bit on the shrill side. Maybe this one has a tone that cannot be recreated?

So whatever came of this? Such a cool tele, I remember seeing the thread when you first put it up. I hope by now you've made some progress!
