This one was before my time here, so I'm just seeing it. What an interesting idea! Would love to hear it in a group setting.

Beautiful beast, too.  :icon_thumright:

Thanks Glimmer

Like Glimmer said, before my time on the forum too. And I wholeheartedly agree: Beautiful! Sort of reminds me of the understated beauty of a Benedetto. :icon_thumright:

If I remember, someone did a tele also to this same effect...

I was looking for this build not too long ago! So glad to see it resurface.

Found it, it was Unwound G's tele...

Hey Doug!

Do you have the link for that nylon tele by Unwound G?  The last time I saw Santana, Carlos was playing a nylon string Tele that was quite sweet.  He kept it on a stand that held it in the playing position and would alternate between the guitar around his neck and the Tele on the stand at the same time.  Ah, I won't be trying that, but a nylon Tele could be fun.  Anyway, if you have the link, could you please post it!

Now back to yor regularly programmed station...

Hey Bart, I don't have the link to his OG thread, I just found the one where he posted a bunch of tele's...

How about a headless version?  :cool01:

As many times as I've ogled this guitar I don't think I've ever commented on it. Absolutely beautiful. As are Steve's other creations (your oil finished strat was a big influence in decisions on my first warmoth)

I want to do a no-hole solid topped acoustic built around an under top piezo (not under saddle - something like the JJB or K&K pure mini).  Current thinking is something more less based on the velocity body, but with an actual 3/32nd" spruce top with a pickup stuck to the bottom of it.

Your acoustic build idea sounds really interesting.
