Burl Tele build

Post by mefgames » Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:26 pm

Not sure if a Tele is considered an offset guitar, but here's my latest build, Burl Maple over Mahogany body, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, Babicz bridge, sperzel locking tuners, EMG T-system pickups and controls, tusq nut, strung with D'Addario 10/48 Chromes, and finished in clear Nitrocellulose lacquer.

Wow that looks great. How is the tone of that bad boy? Burl + Mahogany sounds like a great combo

A Tele is not even close to offset, but OSG is crawling with Tele fans. Nice axe.

Not an aesthetic I normally go for, but it looks great.

Nice tele. No-dot rosewood always looks slick.

I'm not sure why you'd think it'd count as an offset though.
