jerseydrew Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I've been gassing for a new guitar. I was board and I just wanted something new. I sold my Nash LPB Tele and had some money. I had a couple of guidelines I wanted to follow. I really like Teles and like the shape of the body and the control layout, so I wanted some kind of Tele. Next I told myself a "fore arm" cut would be nice because the wood always digs into my arm in that area. And while I'm at it, a tummy cut would be good too. It would also be nice to be able to reach the upper frets. That's always a tough thing to do on a Tele. I still wanted it to look "vintage" so a "mint" guard would be nice. Hey, how about a FAT C neck? Yep. How about some Braz rosewood while we're at it? Might as well have it plekked and have a Buzz Feinten tuning too. So I had these things in mind, and one day I was combing The Gear Page, I found it. It arrived at my house today.
sw686blue Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 That's a very cool guitar, love the color. Amazing customer support from John Suhr too! Congrats!
El Kabong Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Dead sexy! All I would personally do is flip the control cover.
anotherfreak2 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 WOW!!it's perfect!absolutely perfect!congratulations!
jerseydrew Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks guys. I'm really digging it right now. It's got all the features and "extras", that I would get if I were to have one built from scratch.
serial Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I'm a staunch objector to any "Fender" guitars that aren't "Fender" (other than some Japanese lawsuits), but that one is stunning. Kind of has all of the cool Strat features on a Tele frame (which I prefer). Congrats!!
bobbymack Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Nice one. John Suhr's stuff is state of the art imho...
formula73 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Niiiiiiiiice! It looks pretty much...perfect.
Jeff R Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 All the cool tele features stayed and all the tele "issues" got fixed. That is bad ass. Killer!

serial Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Niiiiiiiiice! It looks pretty much...perfect.Sweet lid in that pic. Gotta say though, I have a strange sense that there's a Tsingtao in my immediate future!
JohnnyB Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 All the cool tele features stayed and all the tele "issues" got fixed. That is bad ass. Killer! Exactly! Thanks guys Those body contours should be a standard option on Fender Teles and G&L ASATs, if not outright premium models. G&L offers a belly cut on an ASAT, but not the contour for the strumming arm.
JES1680 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Nice. I would have much prefered that color to the straw that mine is, but I fell in love with the Big 56V neck. Suhr does Teles right.
clmazza Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 That's a real looker Drew... Congrats! One day I will own a Suhr. Repeat after me...
BubbaVO Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Not really into the Teles. But that's really nice. Congrats!
