Spirit 76 "Keef" Tele Deluxe This is the latest Spirit 76 Guitars creation, the Keef Tele Deluxe. All my builds use a combination of vintage and new parts to create an affordable vintage style guitar with modern playability. I try to envision the guitar as something I would have customized 40 years ago, and as this one came together it looked like something Keith would have carried onstage in 1977. Natural wood finishes and brass hardware are a big part of that 70's esthetic and I use both in abundance. The Spirit 76 Keef features: Mahogany semi-hollow Tele body with maple top stained and finished with Nitrocellulose Clear Lacquer WD Music 2 piece maple large 70's headstock neck 12" radius Medium Jumbo Frets 1 11/16 nut width Chunky C shape neck .89" at 1st fret, .91" at 12th Nitrocellulose Aged Clear finish Vintage Dimarzio Super Distortion Bridge Pickup Vintage Dimarzio PAF Neck Pickup Vintage NOS Schecter Brass Bridge Vintage brass stoptail Vintage 1970's wiring from Ibanez Studio (pots, caps, and position selector) Vintage strap buttons (gold strap locks in pictures not included) Custom 70's style sparkle control knobs Kluson aged gold Tuners Aged Brass control plate, neck plate  Brass Nut Brass String Tree Brass jack cup Even brass screws holding on the pickguard Weight: 7lbs 5oz Body was stained with a reddish-orange stain before I bought it. It also had a Bigsby at some point. It had a cool look as is so I filled the old misaligned Bigsby posts with dowels and finished with Nitro Lacquer. Body had some shallow cracks that were filled as well. The pickups are vintage Dimarzios. The PAF is most likely late 70's/early 80's.  The Super Distortion is an original 1975 that was in storage for 40 years.  The lead had been damaged but has been lengthened. The neck is a WD Music Maple neck sprayed with Nitrocellulose Lacquer and aged to give a comfortable, worn in feeling. Frets have been freshly dressed and action is set at 4/64" bass side and 3/64" treble. I will install the buyers choice of either .009 or .010 Dunlop nickel wound strings. This guitar plays and sounds great with fast, low action. All my guitars come with a money back guarantee. If you get it home and you don't like it, send it back. I will give a full refund of the purchase price, buyer will pay return shipping.
