Looks like it's got one of these in it:

Most of the beetle will be gone of course with the pickup rout.

 

[rgand]

I have yet to find the words...

Grabbed it.  No frets, gonna burnish the entire thing, headstock front and back, too.  Then going to do gold jumbo fretwire, and TUSQ XL white nut.  Damn GAS thread.  :tard:

Good grab. Congrats.

I think the beetle is a good argument for a single 'bucker build.

That's why it needs a Scarabtozi bridge and piezos.

I see what you did there.

That would sort it out  :laughing7:

This is a sexy Tele neck.  Crazy beautiful.  If I had the dough handy, it would be mine, RFN.

 

[Cagey]

That's a beauty! There's a Strat version that's pretty attractive, too...

Kinda wrecked it with the dots, but it's still a very fine piece of Ziricote over Goncalo Alves for less than $300.

 

[bagman67]

I dunno, Cagey, I'm not nuts about the heavily striped goncalo alves with a highly figured fingerboard - it's a little too busy for my taste.  I'd rather see it with a plain black ebony board, or at least a comparatively unfigured slab of darker lumber. 


Plus, under your tutelage, I have learned to eschew the position markers, so there's also that.

 

[Cagey]

Yeah, that GA is a bit much. Would've been better with Maple or Canary. And why do they keep putting dots on such fantastic pieces of wood?

 

[Geekydad]

They just gotta start putting better dots on the better wood... Abalone anyone?  :icon_biggrin:

[bagman67]

Walnut burl top, anyone?

 

[bagman67]

And now this:  Flamed (!) rosewood with a canary fingerboard.  Holy moly.

 

[Perry Combover]

Sweet googly moogly.

I almost put it in the cart.  then I saw the scale.  :doh:

It's always such a shame when they pick em before they're ripe.

 

[sixstringsamurai]

Well somebody wanted it... SOLD...
(wasn't me, Sadly.)
