Custom Built Walnut Carved Flames Telecaster

SOLD!

This one was a custom built guitar project I did, an elaborate “partscaster” Telecaster. It is all walnut body has hand carved flames and features all gold hardware with Joe Barton Gatton T pickups. It plays as great as it looks.

The body was built by Tony DeLacugo making this Telecaster style guitar truly one-of-a-kind. The walnut grain is beautiful and makes a nice resonate guitar. Tony starts out building a vintage ’69 style Telecaster body and hand carves the flames into the body. He tells me he has made only three of these walnut bodies and this one turned out the best. The walnut carve is treated with Tru-Oil to bring out the grain than poly coated for protection. Lots of sanding and time consuming work was spent creating this awesome body.

Fender Select Neck with Gold Elite Tuners

The Fender “select” necks are some of Fender’s nicest. It has a compound radius from 9.5 to 14 with a satin back nitro finish.

Barton Gatton T Pickups and Q-parts Gold Mother of Pearl knobs add a nice look

The Babicz Full Contact Telecaster Bridge is engineered to be direct coupled to the body for stability, increased sustain, improved fullness and tone. It is a radical design but has complete adjustability and allows for a very nice setup.

Walnut Body Grain is Amazing

I used all quality components and spared no expense on the parts used on this project. All the cavities are copper foiled to reduce hum. The build quality is top shelf.
