It's a pretty special guitar. I'm usually not a fan of figured wood or natural finishes for that matter, but for some reason I really love this one. I think it's because the grain is just so weird. Doesn't hurt that it sounds absolutely awesome too.

Do the strings share a tuner?jagu-war wrote:sure as hell doesn´t compete with gustav..but:
it has 9 strings
Otherwise, bloody cool - I might try this
and this monstrosity is the headstock..it's kinda've a bitch to tune..but it's got no trem, so tuning up isn't so much of a problem
and I had no problem drilling the holes through the Fender logo as it's a Squier neck with a crappy Fender decal..
and yeah..that highest e seems like it's about to pop out, but it never has

Re: post your MONSTER TELES!

Here we see the great, late Godzilla playing what appears to be a Ri Thinline Tele just hours before his untimely death in the Tokyo harbor.
Presumably, the guitar is now owned by Steven Spielberg but no pictures exist to prove this.
