Beautiful tele :yesway:

I love that pau ferro neck. I've never seen one before.
I hadn't either until this one. My bass has a pau ferro fretboard, which I've always liked. It's a lot like maple tonally, but doesn't need a finish, like rosewood. Feels even better than it looks.

And it's sexy :D

I've heard that Pau Ferro is the middle ground between rosewood and ebony :shrug: It's more like maple you say?

I never understood how people can play guitar in their crotch. :chestrocker:
To be fair, the strap's set for me, and I'm a little taller I think, so it doesn't ride so low on me. But really, a Tele just feels right a little lower.

:agreed: I play my Tele quite a bit lower than I do my V.
