NGD: custom shop chocolate

Found myself in a guitar shop today and this beauty caught my eye. I’ve never seen a tele like it, and on closer inspection saw it’s an Artisan custom shop. It’s a Birdseye roasted maple neck, and the body is chocolate two colour sunburst. Apparently only 35 of these were made.

it’s incredibly light and the neck is beefy. The pickups sound glorious, simultaneously single coil goodness but hot enough to be reasonably close to my humbucker guitars.
