This is a very basic telecaster styled solid body electric guitar with every detail of the traditional tele guitar. Standard single coil pickups and a swamp ash body, maple neck, and a wenge fingerboard. This guitar has an interesting pattern in the paint on the back only. It is unknown how this happened but after letting the clear lacquer finish cure for a couple of weeks, I might have laid it on a blanket, and thus the unusual pattern. I didn't mind it though, and considered it to be part of the character of the guitar. There are a couple of almost invisible scratches, and one minor indentation I recently noticed. (see the photo) It is easy to play and has a straight neck.
