Description One of the instruments we made a name for ourselves with was our Tele mods. If you've been on here, you've seen our work. In development for a year now was our classic series, which pays homage to some classic designs done in a boutique fashion that no factory could ever do. These guitars are built both on spec - like this one - and to order, completely from scratch. We do everything in-house. If you have something you envision, call or message us for a build template. Check our websites, Facebook and Instagram sites for past builds. These all feature a single piece of solid, choice swamp ash or alder with spectacular grain, a hand-carved, hand-made 4-piece neck with a quarter-sawn flamed maple/mahogany/flamed maple laminated back for amazing sustain and stability, your choice of fingerboard wood, and several other options including pickups, hardware, custom finish, fret wire, radius, etc. They have a base price of $2900, and depending on options go from there. This milk white in 100% nitrocellulose lacquer is one of our signature finishes, and it’s about the classiest look around. Simply gorgeous. We hand mix all of our stains and colors, so no two are ever really exactly the same. Optional birdseye maple pickguard features a 3-stage hand rubbed finish, and sets up a beautiful transition from the body to the tempered birdseye fingerboard. Also called “torrefied,” tempering is a process whereby the wood is heated in a vacuum, providing a higher stability and rigidity, with the side benefit of a deeper, richer color. Double tortoise binding, Lollar Vintage T Set, (go to Lollar’s website to hear sound clips of these pickups, or read any of dozens of rave reviews), Gotoh Vintage 6-in-line tuning machines, Callaham Bridge, genuine 3mm mother of pearl side markers,  high end electronics with CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, Oak-Grigsby 3-way switch, Sprague Orange Drop capacitor, vintage cloth covered wire, our special shielding for dead silent running on stage or in the studio, and a hand cut bone nut and immaculate setup to your preference. Serial number T00006-16. This guitar comes with a hardshell case and free shipping to lower 48 (call us for overseas shipping), all for a measly $3165. PLEASE NOTE: THE NORMAL PRICE FOR THESE OPTIONS ON AN F & H  CUSTOM T IS $3315.00. WE ARE DISCOUNTING THIS $150 BECAUSE THE JACK CUP IS SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER ON THE SIDE. THIS IS A PURELY AESTHETIC THING THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICE. Please message us with any questions regarding this instrument, or to obtain a quote on a custom instrument built to your specs. You want something to take your playing to another level?

Other Stuff
This instrument features a hand cut bone nut and professional setup. If this ships to another climate, just like any instrument you buy anywhere, it needs to acclimate to your climate before it settles in. We do all our own fretwork, and we dress and level the frets so it plays better than anything you can buy in a store. We also will do adjustments to the buyer's preference. We don't have to do this, we do it so you get the highest level of satisfaction from us. We let our instruments sit for a week so they can settle in, then do another setup after that, as well as play the instruments to make sure they are perfect. If you favor an unusual string height or spacing, it is YOUR responsibility to take it to your local tech to do this unless you ask us ahead of time to do it for you. Product will be professionally packaged and insured. No returns unless unit is not as specified. We only sell top quality items. This is no exception. Payment is expected upon purchase, paypal or CC. Happy shopping! And remember - if you didn't have music, what would you do?
