Holy cow!!! Congrats!! That is magnificent

 

[fretworn]

Thank you guys … going out this afternoon

I asked Laurent to describe his early impressions… hopefully he doesn’t mind me quoting him here.

Laurent Brondel:

“The guitar sounds absolutely great, Ron’s pickups are the best. The bridge bites but is not harsh, the neck is smooth, like an early Broadcaster, yet clear. The in-between sound as they should, my fave being the bridge-middle combo.
Low action, feels like an old guitar, but is brand new.”

That's a beauty!

If I ever won the lottery I would buy a wood shop and fill it with power tools and Stew Mac products and figure out how to build guitars from planks. Would be a great way to kill a few decades.

Should be here SAT

Should be here SAT

That should give you about 107 opportunities to check the tracking.

Ok it's after 8AM locally, but likely cloudy, any chance of new pics of the Tele to oogle over today?

Oh, we know he has it... let him have his jollies first.

We have guests over right now… And they sleep in the rooms next to the studio. Waiting for them all to wake up and have breakfast.

I’ve set out lox and bagels this morning.

Probably one of the loudest acoustically electric guitars I’ve ever owned. The action is wicked fast. Feels like 9s or 8s even though it’s strung with 10s.

Low action and phenomenal fretwork!

Not worthy is right lol
