Mary Kaye Tele with Padouk Neck/Fingerboard

[franklantern]

Had seen this color combo before and wanted to give it a shot.

Lollar pup's and Callaham hardware.

I have never posted a build here before but this one seemed worth the effort.

Here is some audio ..

No, seriously - the guitar is nice - but now that I've viewed the video, I'm very impressed with what you can do with it.


Rock on, Frank.

Thank you for the kind words.

I have to confess a few years back I thought alot of the boutique hardware was hard to justify. Now that I have used some I better appreciate the difference it can make.

My thanks to the posters here, I have been exposed to ideas on this forum I never would have considered. This is a great resource for any guitarist whether they opt to build one of their own or not.

Man, that's perfection.  I'm so happy for you.

I'm pretty sure that's the first Keith Jarrett tune I've seen here! :headbang: You did it justice, too. He's one of those annoying people who seem to be able to play anything he wants to - Mozart to Miles. His solo stuff in the 1970's was amazing, I saw him a few times on those tours. One night he came out, sat down at the piano, closed his eyes - then with his index fingers, hit one low note and one high note, just randomly. Then he opened his eyes and composed a perfect little symphony, based on those two notes.

Who did the Mary Kay finish?

I bought the body finished from Warmoth. I did the finish on a strat myself and learned enough to know that I am not that good at it

I first heard Jarrett in the 70's, I think it was the Kohn concerts. Great that you got to see him live. I missed out.

Lucky Southern has been bouncing around in my head for awhile. No idea why...it just got stuck there so decided to give it a try.
