    Rosewood Telecaster--Nice Clip

    Just ran across this. I love the sound of this Tele.

    A lefty, I'll have to build my own one day. Good luck on finding rosewood when I do.

    Melody, that looks really beautiful to me. Of course, i'd have to put a black pickguard on it. Go play that thing at least! I'd love to hear what you think.

    I've played two of them so far and both were wicked heavy, I mean 10 pounds if they were an ounce. I did see a custom made one (don't know if it was Fender or a boutique builder) that was chambered with no F-holes.

    That's a heavy guitar. George must have had some help from Vishnu when he held that one up on the windy Apple rooftop...


    What is the status on rosewood now? I thought recent restrictions had been lifted. Warmoth still has a disclaimer that they can't get rosewood for bodies.
