Black telecaster (black hardware was cheaper)

The basic idea was to build something that sounded like a Les Paul but wasn't as heavy and had a different control layout and bridge.  So attached is the design.  I built a guitar like this 10 years ago and it sounds exactly like a Les Paul but is much more comfortable to play.  So I decided to build another one.

Mahogany body, Mahogany short scale neck, earvana nut, SS frets, Pau Ferro board, Dimarzio (FRED, EVOLUTION) pickups) body contours.  Not sure I like the white pickups.  I will probably change them for gold ones later.

Nice - gotta love clean black paint!

"Clean" being the operative word there. I have 4 black beauties, all of which I love to death, but keeping those little rascals presentable is a constant battle.
