No matter what style you throw at this guitar, it can eat it up all the while maintaining its own distinctive character. There is an added hair to the notes, a chime, a bit of an edge to its muscular sweetness that will come through whether you are playing at home in your bedroom, in the studio or on stage. As always, the fit and finish are right and tight. This is a modern playing guitar imbued with vintage DNA. And it goes without saying it is killer looking!
I had a Fender "Bob Bain" masterbuilt guitar in the shop not long ago and became reacquainted with how much I like a Tele paired with a Bigsby. Not only do you get the added versatility that comes with that bridge, but in my opinion, there are also two added benefits. The tone is enhanced and there's a bit of "give" to the string tension. Both are welcome additions to the the T-style's sound and playability. So, with that bit of inspiration, I called my friend and builder Don Grosh, and comissioned him to come up with a T-style, Bigsby-equipped build for the shop. The result is a truly fantastic guitar, one that would be a welcome addition to any collection or studio guitar arsenal.
I wanted a very versatile guitar with a wide palette of sonic possibilities. Going to a thinline body style with a TV Jones Filtertron neck pickup opened that door right up.

Bottom line: This is such a special instrument that even if you have a bunch of Tele style guitars, it's special enough to be a welcome addition to any collection. As you I'm sure guessed, I really love this guitar!
If you'd like to find out more about this item, just call or e-mail me. It would be my pleasure to talk to you about it.
