Custom Tele

Stewart 'Stephanie' - tele style guitar

This custom tele was built by myself in 2008.
 I named it afer my wife Steph.

The idea was to build a telecaster style guitar with the look and sound of a early 50's tele but the playablility of a modern guitar. The guitar sounds and plays great, I am very pleased with the results!
