Ted Stevenson is killing it with the current PWE guitars!

[BSRIAudio]

I ordered a PWE standard from Ted a while back and it showed up this morning after shipping Monday afternoon. Ted really delivered on what I wanted. I was looking for a relatively simple workhorse guitar without any unnecessary glitz. The final product plays unbelievably well and looks gorgeous.

Here are the specs:

Mahogany body
Pau Ferro neck
Bolivian rosewood board
Hardtail with black hardware
PWE pickups
Petrucci-style control arrangement with coil tap

And on to the pics:

Man, that's a sweetass axe!! I had NO idea PWE was making guitars too. I've been watching their amps and they're onto something a bit special IMHO. But guitars too? Ya man, that's a very slick bit of kit there.

So far, I haven't played anything that I haven't loved of Ted's. Good stuff, HNGD!

Saw the 1st couple pics and then I got to the headstock pics.

Congrats though. I'm sure it plays and sounds killer.

Im a big fan of the headstock. Its quite unique compared to a lot of other headstocks out there. I like the big graphic logo too

 

[Inca Roads]

Very Nice!!!
I would Rock that all day long.
Headstock reminds me a little of
a James Tyler.

 

[BSRIAudio]

Yeah it has a similar kind of off-beat look to it.

1st thing I thought when I saw it, not that that's a bad thing...

For sure. Looks like a Tyleresque Nuno. That side scalloping on the neck is straight out of JT's playbook. I love it. Throw a Floyd on her and I'm in. Controls look a little funky though. Would have to try it.

 

[BSRIAudio]

Controls are meant to be out of the way but easily within reach.

The headstock works with the natural wood vibe the guitar has goin' on. I think it would look strange on a typical Fender wood/color scheme.
Looks great.

I like the guitar and headstock.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run you?

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Also interested in cost.. i can never figure out why you can't find costs anywhere on the websites.

Yeah, that headstock does work nicely on that particular guitar. Ted makes great stuff for sure.

I love mine, plays like a dream.

How do you like the pickups? Mine are quite bright, but I just keep the tone control down a bit, and it's fine.

I like this headstock, so is there a newer headstock since this one came out?
