Warmoth "Noventa" Telecaster

[ctownsend]

Sharing my homage to Billy Gibbons. Parental Guidance suggested whenever near a Marshall.

Details:
~ bound Warmoth Telecaster body with unique choice Pau Ferro top and Roasted Swamp Ash body with contoured heel and belly cut
~ bound Warmoth Roasted Maple neck with unique choice Pau Ferro fretboard. Headstock bound by local luthier
~ Lindy Fralin P90
~ Wilkinson bridge with Glendale "Titanium" Intone Cutting Edge set
~ Custom Sperzel tuners
~ Custom pickguard (based upon Fender's Noventa Tele pickguard) made by a private builder

What a beauty! Lots of great details, and I love the one-pickup approach!

 

[Spud]

What a beauty! That said I am unsure BG was a huge P-90 guy?

 

[TBurst Std]

Nice looking, but also unsure P90 is for the Revs tone

Is there a Billy > Waylon connection I don't know about? Awesome guitar either way

 

[Strat Avenger]

That is gorgeous.

Well, I swapped out the Warmoth Telecaster neck (and put it on my Warmoth Koa Thinline) for a Warmoth reverse Stratocaster neck. I then applied a Warmoth metallic sticker, and then had "binding" painted on. Gotta say that the picture below doesn't do it justice!

Is there a Billy > Waylon connection I don't know about?

This is still puzzling me, as well.

@ctownsend Cool guitar! Can you explain the Waylon connection?

One way or another, Billy and Waylon are always right up there in my favorite guitarists list.

No connection, just stupid little things I do to merge my passions. I love Billy. And Waylon. And a whole bunch of others!
