Being a hopeless tinkerer, I have become enamored with making guitars. Kinda helps that I am doing sound for a local band so that I have a steady stream of opinions on how they sound when I finish them.
Anyhow, here is my take on a telecaster with Gulf-Porsche inspired paint scheme.
The interesting bits for players would be:
chambered swamp ash body (what is blue is hollow, what is orange is solid)
Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups with coil splitting
Warmoth maple neck with strat headstock
many coats of lacquer color and clear
custom badge for the case
The early reports are that you can have everything from a classic tele-twang to a full bodied sound of a Les Paul depending on your pickup selection and coil-spittling or not. Responds really well to effects pedals too. The guitarists in the band love it.
I am chuffed. I thought there may be some Porsche lovers here that may get a kick out of it.
