        apart from the headstock, I like the look of it.

          If it is good enough for John Lowery it is good enough for any of us!!! It is a killer guitar from everything I have read but I have never touched one...hmmm, I may have to look one up this weekend?

            I've seen em. I kinda don't like the metal bastardization of the Tele model going on there. then again I'm not into MManson either, not my thing. you can make a metal Tele without uglifying it. Tommy Skeoch of Tesla was the first one to do this I think. not for everyone but hey.

            I built a custom Fender Tele that has the classic look but a heavy humbucker sound.

                    the headstock shape is pretty awkward, but anyway it had to be 3+3 because John5 is into bends behind the nut. I guess it's hard to imagine another 3+3 headstock with "Tele" feel.
                    Because I don't say it
                    Doesn't mean I ain't thinking it

                        Don't you need a special permit to carry that much ugly in such a confined area????

                          I am not into Teles in general, but that particular model is extra-ugly IMO. If you gave me one for free it would be on Ebay within 24 hours. If John 5 digs it, fine for him, but I'm not into wearing makeup like the Joker either so I'll also pass on the guitar.

                          If I wanted a Tele shape I'd get a Carvin TL60. 24 frets, neckthrough body, humbuckers and trem options. A modern guitar with a classic shape!

                            I have one, not the custom shop one, but the cheaper one. Bought it used and it looks dull original, so I modded it a bit to look like what it´s meant to be... Put on a Bigsby with a Bare Knuckle pup in the bridge.
                            Don´t play it much though, it´s resting in its case. It´s heavier than anything else I´ve ever tried..It´s just to much for me.
                            Neck is pretty thick, have to check it out before I can give anymore info. I´ll keep it for the look.
