Uh? This is odd.

Talk about all other types of guitars. Jazzmasters and basses go here!

Acoustic Telecaster in green, with tortoiseshell binding (that's right).

My first reaction was of disgust. Now I like it.

nice idea, but... no.

the F hole looks like it's too far back and the bridge is massive.

The close-up of the headstock almost makes it look like that giant John 5 Telecaster plank.

i like the color alot. the fret board is kinda cool.
i just think it looks weird without a pickup or sound hole in the middle.
it would be rad if it was just an electric, with the f hole, and a lipstick pickup.
