Was getting tired of dumpster diving for a double bound tele body for my Andy Summers clone and so I bugged Mike enough for him to make it :thumbsup:

He contacted me and said that the alder he received was heavy and let me decide if I wanted a lighter piece, pretty cool of him to do that and hell yeah I wanted the heavier piece anyways :yes: Sent some in-progress pics and the final product and said I still had no obligation to buy it, I explained we had a deal that if he built it I would buy it right then and there.

Mike was great to work with and I like the fact that a formite that I have known for years made the body for me, much mojo being that it came from a basement and not some factory pumping out 64782438932 guitars a day.

Thanks Mike and yeah pics after the 59 burst is shot wll be coming your way :thumbsup:
 
totally awesome! I can't wait to see your final build of that guitar, should be cool. :rock:
 
That is a nice looking Tele body. Mike is currently offering a killer piece of splated maple. If it wasn't Christmas time I might have to jump on it

I was at this show, 1986 at the Meadowlands....



I saw them 5 times prior to this and this was their finest show imo, it was back to their roots and Sting tamed down the frilly crap.

Tele and Plexi :rock:
 
Should be a cool project...looking forward to seeing the completed guitar!

Damn nice work!!!

Your El Prez pup I have had for years is going into the neck, just need to figure out how to put a chrome cover on it :confused:
 
Bump for Mike's work, remember now that PRS basement guitars are big bucks these days! :D
