After 11 months wait, this has just rocked up. Bloody lovely it is too!

Love the headstock, and the rest.

HNGD and hope you get lots of pleasure playing it. Have a 'proud new guitar. emoticon:    Bit too stripey for my taste, but I'm sure it plays superbly and sounds glorious.

Grrr, stupid editor won't let me embed images on an iPad.

Fixed now - had to do it on a 'puter...

Congratulations! Figuring on that wood is amazing. I've never really played a twin humbucker tele. How are they compared to a Les Paul or Strat with similar pickups?

Love the body, Zebrawood?

Cheers! It's like a light and 'zingy' Les Paul really - the mahogany back and neck help.

Not the usual Suhr headstock, is there a reason?

I believe that he offers either silhouette as an option on the custom order stuff never seen it with one overlayed on the other before though !

Love the guitar and think the headstock is better than the standard suhr one.  Not dissimilar to the Friedman guitars one.

Love that! My Suhr Tele Select is Spanish Cedar - great sound and nice and light too! Happy NGD.

Yeah it's that headstock! It's just looks really good ... It's posh and cool at the same time hah

Cheers chaps 
I think he calls it the hybrid headstock - I like it, looks nicer than the standard Suhr design.

Yup, it was a custom order but based on a run they did a few years ago, but minus the reverse headstock. It first caught my eye when I saw Ian Thornley playing one at one of the Suhr factory parties.

Spec sheet:

Its called the Hybrid Step headstock. You can get a Hybrid, that's this shape but all on one level, but this was introduced to give the option of a more traditional silhouette whilst retaining the standard Suhr shape as the major element.

I think they look great.

As to this one, its gorgeous. Very similar to the Collection 2014 Zebrawood Tele.

Looks great,i love a bit of zebrano so much so i built a 6 string bass out of the stuff! & god its heavy as fuck but it sustains for days
