Autopilot? That's top secret, why are you putting that on here? Who are you? How did you gain access to this information?

Okay, to answer the question ACTUALLY posed, have you thought about replicating airline livery?  Or the classic paint scheme of a renowned airplane?  Spirit of St. Louis, for example, or perhaps the Bell X-1 (Glamorous Glennis)?  Bonus points for a machined aluminum top on the Tele, with the Spirit of St. Louis name and flags!

Peace

I don't know, I thought I saw a custom guitar on Ed Roman's site a few years back with the body of the guitar shaped lie n F-14 Tomcat.

That pickguard is shiny

When I saw the Thread title, I thought of heaps of shiny chrome, kinda like replicating what the old Amercian Airlines aircraft were like. The Spirit of St, Louis would do tho, on the shiny checkplate pickguard. :icon_thumright:

Stick an altimeter on it.

I have that on my strat, does that mean it is an airplane theme?

I think that was a Jackson custom shop guitar, if I remember correctly... :dontknow:

Personally, I've always thought of the Sopwith Camel as a cool plane (and the old, rounded look they have would suit a Tele well, I think). You can get cool bullseye going, with a nice leather guitar strap . . . ccasion14:

Seymour duncan blackouts? and a some sort of active preamp.
