"Custom Guitar Parts" huh. eBay idiots. Those are bells... not top hats.

Here's a great idea. If you're going to market a product to the masses... howzabout finding out whatnahell it is first... either that, or be honest about it & tell the would-be buyer that ya don't know what it is. It's ignorant crap bags like that, who have cost me more hours than I can count over the years, by mislabeling their product so I have to weed through all the hundreds or even thousands of listings of crap I'm not looking for, just hoping that I might find what it is that I AM looking for!:rollno::rollno::rollno:

The gold/teal sparkle is pretty swanky. I just wish they were top hats:meh:

It's the TV Silver model that has been discussed in the past (approx 1500+/- pages back). It has the "rustic" look to it because the wood doesn't have grain filler. IIRC it has the 1 1/2" nut width so the neck would not be to your liking/preference.

The silver is obviously effected by the ambient lighting quite a lot. I really dig that "rustic" finish! If it weren't such a PIA, I'd sand mine down & oil it. I love the look and feel of a "naked" wood body. Those chrome pups over that kind of finish, really gives it a cool 70's vibe:cool:

Our 2PM gig today couldn't have been more ideal! No bands signed-up before us so we had a leisurely set-up and had our levels dialed 10mins before down-beat. The crowd of happy Fog Fest weekend partiers seemed to enjoy our crazy set of disjunctive genre's and styles from bringing to end! The bird rocked as only a T-bird can - even people who are NLU (not like us) commented on it's 'sound' (tone/voice) - and those who know were like - "well, hearing that T-bird do it's in your face thing - whoe! Will post something later - for now it's chill time...

Email them, from the sounds of it they'll customize knobs to match any "knob set"

Yes, always give a 'custom' maker the benefit of doubt - 'custom' usually applies an openness to, customize! :bassist:
