That guitar would laugh at me.

Pretty fantastic though!

Good lord that’s awesome

That's very purple & very sparkle...ly! Now you can jam out some Purple Rain with your purple sparkle Tele.

A beauty. Thought the 52 U neck was .90-95 @ 1st? Or is it different from the nocaster profile?

Controls are crooked or maybe not completely vertical in the picture. Cool otherwise.

With a Masterbuilt it can be built with any specs that the customer asks for.

Beautiful guitar, sparkle finishes are hard to do right and I'm sure that one is even more stunning in person!

 

[Silverback]

That neck looks like solid Ebony in the pics.

Stunning guitar!

Enjoy!
