Modeled after a '62 reissue Tele Custom, this guitar was built by someone who loved teles. In his orginal message to me, "This is my dream tele. Seriously. There isn't anything I would change about it. It plays better than any other telecaster I've had the chance to put my hands on, and it sounds fantastic."
-MJT double bound alder tele body - ordered as closet clean, Lake Placid Blue, without string through holes. Cream binding. The finish has some wear in a couple spots, and scratches/dings here and there from regular use. I never planned on selling it, so I've been fine with the wear it's gotten, hence getting MJT to make it in the first place. Their finishes are super thin and very well done. There are a couple of spots that have finish cracks/checking happening. Looks cool.
-The neck is a 1994 Fender MIM Squier Series Tele neck, my favorite tele neck I've ever played. It's a D shaped neck profile with a 10.5" radius. Super comfy, fairly thin, but plays great. The frets are vintage sized and have plenty of life in them. This is a Fender neck and not a Squier neck, to clarify.
-For this Bigsby mod the trem arm can be pushed down like a regular Bigsby, but if you pull the arm of them Bigsby towards the pickups and strings you will bend the B string. This allows you to use this B-Bender sound without having to stand up and move the guitar as you’re playing.
