Moving on from the Lappy and via a couple of rough attempts, these are playable with serious fretwork, electronics and neck profile.

They're copies of a Fender Telecaster as a way to explore construction, shaping (especially the neck), finishing and sound. Rememeber the solid East Indian Rosewood Telecaster George Harrison played on the roof top (Let It Be) and Pop Staples played for the Last Waltz version of the Band's The weight?

Neck and Body: Tasmanian Blackwood

Nut: Beef Leg Bone from the local butcher.

The joy of picking up and playing something you made. And more joy from seeing others performing with using them!
