Well, I've played last 3 Hell-o-tiki shows with this Tele ( and DRRI + reverb tank RI ) and it sounds awesome. Many compliments from the audience about the sound of the guitar. Cutting through the mix in every situation ( small bar, open air stage with big PA, mid-sized club ).

more infos about the build :

neck : french flamed maple, ebony fretboard
body : french basswood and vintage white nitrocellulose lacquer
pu's : BareKnuckle Blackguard Tele Series - Flat '52 with 4 way switch

and more pics ( sorry for the crappy cell phone one ):

That is one cool Tele Manu, I hope to hear it soon at one of your shows!

Does this mean the J Mascis JM will be gathering dust from now on? Wink-wink, nudge-nudge

Would love to hear a demo of that beauty with those pickups through the DR, maybe in the gear demo section of the Downloads area.
That thing is purty.
