"Texas Pete"

Our "in-house" version of what a Telecaster should be.....bare bones, REAL solid wood, and all about the tone!  We named this guitar "Texas Pete" because it's Hot and Twangy!  This guitar has a solid pine body, custom birdseye neck/Ebony fingerboard, and a gorgeous Paduak Top.  From the wonderful wood grain in the pine body, to the custom spalted maple pickgaurd, this guitar is all ORGANIC!  If it's not solid wood, then it doesn't belong on this guitar! 

"There's no doubt that the telecaster is one of the most duplicated models of the modern electric guitar....why?.....Because they're simple and they're workhorses!  After owning about a dozen "boutique" teles, I'm still not sure what makes a tele "boutique".  It's such a straightforward platform for a guitar, use real wood and make a nice neck, and chances are you'll have a fantastic guitar without spending a ton of cash.  So that was the goal with this guitar, make it play great, and make it affordable.  I think we nailed it with this guitar, it's not choked up with a ton of paint, you can actually feel the vibrance of the solid pine body, and it just works!"
