    NGD: Custom Shop 63 Telecaster Heavy Relic

    I finally got my first Tele after 40 years of playing guitar!
    I'll have a chance to see what I've been missing. This guitar came very highly recommended from Fat Sound Guitars. Pics courtesy of Stu Carter.
    Let me know what you think.

    Well that is just gorgeous. I hope it plays and sounds as great as it looks (which I'm sure it will!!!!!). I love any double bound Tele but yours is a stunner. Congrats.

    Enjoy and merry christmas...

    Looks great, but I can't tell from the pics... Did they goof up the binding as well around the edges, or is it pristine?
    POO DAT!!!

    It looks great, but the binding is too white, no?

    I don't think a picture viewed on a monitor will be 100% accurate to what something looks like in real life. It looks fine to me in person.

    I thought that too, then saw the Andy Summers Sig Tele and thought the same.

    I feel the same when I look at my Deluxe CV. I may fix the CV with some amber nitro. I guess I'm just partial to the older Gibson style binding which yellows up quite a bit over time.

    It's really about how she plays and sounds.

    I played my new Tele the other night in a live performance / casual jam. It has a very cool tone. Perfect for blues or rock with an attitude. It was a lot of fun to play and sounded great. My first Tele experience has been positive.

    That is a beautiful guitar.

    I also thought the binding looks a little too nice, compared to the level of relicing the rest of the guitar has.

    But if it looks and plays great in person, that's all that matters. I do love me a double bound Telecaster.
    s'all goof.

    Thanks. As far as the relicing. I wasn't even looking for that when I went shopping for a tele. I only cared about the playing and the tone. But this guitar came very highly recomended for those reasons and the relicing was an add on. In person it has a cool vibe.

    Here's a clip of the guitar during a live jam:
