Cocobolo/Goncalo Alves Tele

[Great Ape]

Hi, everyone; Been working on this awhile, with a trip
to the Florida Keys to fly fish for Tarpon in between delivery & building...
          Cocobolo on Mahogany, chambered, ivoroid-bound (Showcase) body
          One-piece Goncalo Alves neck; 6150 frets, compound radius, unfinished
          Duncan '59 neck p-up, Duncan Alnico II Pro bridge p-up
          Vintage-style Gotoh tuners

For some reason--could be the unfinished neck, could be the cocobolo, could be I struck it rich,
the resonance and subsequent sustain of this guitar is astonishingly beyond most of my other
instruments! Clear, bright and warm at the same time...Just fantastic!! Warmoth does it AGAIN!

It's the tummy cut  :icon_biggrin:


Darn thats lovely  :icon_thumright: ... another one with a beautiful match of, back of neck and body.
(just spotted another one not long ago here)

Cocobolo / Mahogany are very nice together (got that on my Firebird)

Now where's the Fish, I'm hungry  :icon_jokercolor:

An' I figured it was prob'ly the binding.... :toothy10:

Very nice! And as you know, it is the binding - it keeps the tone worms in.

I'll post the pics, so that others may enjoy with minimal effort...

Thanks, Cagey--Even WITH directions I can't manage
to post photos or an icon! What a hopeless wretch I am...on the other hand, maybe the little
question mark that presently resides where an icon photo should be is PERFECT FOR ME!!! :doh:
