    This one is a bit special. It came to me from the fabulous @Norwegian_Blue tagged here because he still probably knows more about it than I do.

    Its originally from Cameron MacKenzie guitars,  around July 2016. Originally Olympic White, it's been refinished in a gorgeous, aged Lake Placid Blue Nitro. The Bigsby was added at the same time and the pickups are specially chosen from Lollar and a Fralin, to make sure the sound is perfect.

    In short, start from good place and then make it all better.

    As you can see, this is no museum piece and wears its wear well. The overall effect is a well used and weathered but much loved guitar. The bridge pickup has lots of sweet tele style snap to it and being that bit fatter than a normal tele single coil responds beautifully when you crank the gain a little and get into good riffage territory. The neck pickup will crunch just as well but is massively rich and warm, makes me think of being hit by huge rain drops. Has a big round initial strike and then a softer liquid roll off. The neck is pure tele, a nice rounded C thats not fat or slim with what feels like a 9.5 radius and medium frets.

    I went up at £750 when I bought it, I'd like to see £650 back 

    I have a few too many boxes around at the mo, so if you want to pay for a courier, I'll get it boxed up all safe and sound.

    And here it is doing what it does...... looking gorgeous!!







    Great looking guitar, but is it just me or does the G string look out of whack somehow? Maybe not seated on the saddle properly? :s

    Very good spot @Dontgiveupyourdayjob ;

    A little shamed I missed that in the shots. I can confirm the strings are all spaced and seated properly and lined up with the pole pieces  :3

    Is the nut on the Telemaster brass, it is it just a faded colour?

    It’s just faded, either bone or some posh, synthetic plastic affair.
