Yup... Only the tone is far better than i hoped for! Win!

Now THAT is a Telecaster! Very nice!

Absolutely a beautiful pair of guitars.  Great job with the pictures too.  They really show how great those instruments must look.

On paper, I would have said No Way to the black neck.
The pics dissuade me.

I couldn't just pick a mahogany neck like the strat to obtain a brown (mahohany) headstock, because the tone of the neck would ruin the idea of the guitar. So i had to somehow come up with a maple-solution that wouldn't stand to much out. Black maple-neck

Actually i found the same neck as a strat first. But i wanted a tele-headstock, and apparantly someone at warmoth read my mind. The next day this black tele-neck popped up.


I think the balance between the headstock and the pickguard makes this guitar work great and i kinda like the black headstock more than the idea of a brown now. I don't think i will be getting a black for my strat tho. Gonna leave that as it is.

Bingo, that's it! I kinda shrugged at the first pics, then saw the neck and guard meld.

That there's a helluva combo.

Mmm, twins!

 

[runem]

Haha...


Actually im starting to like the black headstock so much, that i wanna see the strat with black as well... eeep...

 

[runem]

Hmm....

Black would look nice on the strat as well. Actually i think it gives the guitar some sort of balane in stead of all the brownish

 

[JaySwear]

Careful! You'll end up with a new Strat neck with a black headstock AND binding, then you'll decide the Tele's neck needs binding too  :icon_biggrin:

Mmm, twins!

Gotta love Twins......double trouble.

Definantly liking the Black headstocks now...took me a bit to get used to it but now I feel bent on doing the same, though Im just gonna do the face and vintage tint the back and true oil it for a smoother feel.

Really nice set though...damn, cant really see a need for anymore guitars....perfect. :icon_thumright:
