NGD! Custom Carved Top Tele Build
Finished this build up yesterday, plays great and sounds nasty 
I went with a Dimarzio Norton Bridge and SD '59 Neck...
The Norton is one of my favorite Bridge pickups now, it's mean and nasty, but not out of control hot.
The body is Alder with a Flamed Maple Top and Walnut Veneer.
Neck is Birdseye Maple and Bubinga...

I really like that body design. Another great guitar, looks like a pro job! Nice grain on that top.

It wasn't stealth that bought it from me, but I can tell you the current price is $400 more than I sold it for

Re: NGD! Custom Carved Top Tele Build
oh, ok - maybe it's not Stealth... my pathetic math skills tell you sold it for $1200?! that is a smoking deal for a handmade guitar with quality components! ..that guitar is a beauty as well - I can't afford to buy it but I thought about going out and trying it just so I could see in person and play one of your works of art but I live in a suburb quite a ways from Vancouver so it's 2 + hours of driving (on a good day) round trip to get to Vancouver from here... =[
