You know I love that color! Maybe I'll get to play it at the next FFX Annual Shareholders' Meeting. 

I hope I can fit all the guitars in my carry-on.

That looks really good. If the natural binding on there is the one warmoth did, they really do a great job on theirs.

Yeah, Warmoth did the binding.  I quite like it.

It's an interesting contrast between the natural binding on my G&L legacy.  The Warmoth body was obviously masked and painted, which looks clean but leaves an edge.  G&L does a scraped wood binding, which leaves no edge, which is nice.

Overall, I really like it.

Easily one of the snazziest custom Teles I've ever seen. Everything woks together perfectly.
If you swap out the pickups down the road, you gotta keep those white pickup covers - really ties it together. Superb!

Yeah, I was actually thinking about that.  The covers go with these pickups, though.  EMGs are potted.

But yeah, I really dig how it all fits together visually.  I also think it sounds great.  It's still the honeymoon period, but this might actually be one of my best playing guitars as well.

Very nice.  Reminds of the Robin T-style guitars back in the day.  The binding is stunning.

It's funny, the binding is a subtle thing, but it sort of makes the look for me.  It goes well with the neck.

I have an EMG T set my Thinline baritone and absolutely love them. They definitely sound different than a traditional tele pickup, but I think they convey more of the harmonic complexity of the instrument.

Also, that's a great color!

That's a good description, about the harmonic complexity.  In some ways, they are sort of more hi-fi than most tele pickups.  They give up a little bit of the rawness, but they do other things that normal tele pickups don't do.  I can certainly cover a lot of different genres with these.

Who knows what will happen down the road, but I'm going to leave them for a while.  I'm enjoying them.

I could easily do with a Tele like that! Nice color and the neck is stunning!

Basically this.  Not a huge tele fan , but for this I could certainly make an exception... well played sir

I know this is an aging thread, but I've been away.

I love everything about this guitar! Well, I do like to see pole pieces, but that's just silliness. The color is amazing and I have been wanting to do a contoured tele.

I LOVE the Carolina blue.  Just stunning.  And that neck is just beautiful.

Thanks guys.  I've been enjoying the hell out of it.
