Tim:

I had several expert players and vintage Strat owners play this guy before I shipped it and all the comments were glowing.
The headstock is my design....we ended up calling it a 'Teletone' style.
I had saved this piece of birdseye for many years before using for this project. It have seen a lot of birdseye in over 30 years of making things out of wood. This one was as perfect a sample as you would find for a one piece Fender style neck.

Here are a few quotes from the man I made this guitar for. He wrote me a few weeks after recieving the guitar.

"Mr. Tone, is now a luthier and artisan so revered for
his custom-designed axes, that he was comfortable expanding his horizons and
developing a tribute to the late Leo and his solid body legend."

"From the moment I took it out of the shipping crate, it mesmerized me."

"The sea-foam green finish in the 1950's style and a way-cool white perloid
pick-up guard that ignites the "sexy" receptors immediately."
 
"The ebony fingerboard gives it the feel and snap of maple, but a much warmer
sound."

"Killer. In a word, this thing was LOUD...only thing is, I wasn't yet plugged in."

"It rings clear and "chimey"."

"Suffice it to say, that I'm more than pleased with the new axe.  The past
couple of years have led me to a new appreciation of single coil sound and
This axe surpassed my expectations as to what a new instrument could provide
in the "vibe" factor for that type of guitar."

" If you want a player's axe that will cut through the mix, sound awesome in the clean and crunch modes, and plays smooth as silk, this may be the axe for you." DM
