Here's a little Garage Band loop I did a take on.  Enjoy.

The top looks like the Steve Morse Y2D model. Looks awesome on the tele body!
Congrats man!

I was wondering how much this guitar was to build and if you still had it?

 

[bagman67]

I don't recall the full price, but it was over 700 to build the body.  The guitar has moved on.

Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best
Quty's back in town!

I got her back, guys. She's in perfect condition, minus the bar for the Wilky.

Here at long last is Quty Pie, a gift from my wife, who funded my wildest guitar-building fantasy. The guitar is named Quty Pie afer a chalk drawing my little girl made when she was five years old, translated to a neckplate by DangerousR6. Assembly and fret treatment by Cagey, whose work is stellar. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Specs:

Body:
Warmoth carved-top tele with unique choice quilt maple top on a mahogany backside. Strat neck pocket.
Finish by Warmoth: Purple edge burst into clear, clean masked edge, with clear poly on the back.

Neck:
Showcase Strat neck in quartersawn wenge, SS6115 frets, clay dot markers. Black Graphtech nut.

Hardware - all black:
Tuners: Planet Waves autotrim
Bridge: Wilkinson VS100 tremolo
Knobs, pickup bezels, etc: black chrome.
Neckplate: Custom DangerousR6 "Quty Pie" original.

Electronics:
Santana II pickups harvested from an unused PRS Santana II ; Pabloman sold them to me, and may he and his progeny be blessed unto the 7th generation - they're NICE.
One vol., one tone, with a .001 mF treble bleed; Black Electrosocket jack.

Here she is:
