“The Tele Custom II guitar is a super-affordable temple of tone with some tasty Tele tweaks that include a pair of blistering Duncan Designed™ P-90 pickups with indepedendent tone and volume controls. The agathis body snugs up to an all-maple neck and fingerboard with dot inlays, medium-jumbo frets and a 25-1/2" scale.”

This is going to be my tinkering guitar. I plan to modify the crap out of it without depending on professional assistance. The intention is to learn about electronics and other finer points of guitar maintenance and construction so that I will be prepared to do some of the work on my 12-string on my own. Besides, I’ve never had a Tele and I’ve never had a guitar with a maple neck. I do believe that there is such a thing as too many guitars, but I’ve never needed much of an excuse to pick up another one.
