Sorry, I can't find it. It was a maple board tele, with a tiki head and some amazing designs woodburnt into it.

I think this is the one you mean.
It's the May page of the 2013 calendar.

There was also a backrouted Strat called "Kon-Tiki" having a tiki inlay at the 11th and 12th fret.

This guitar sported an HS configuration, a solid alder body finished in sherwood green with bamboo graphics and a matching painted headstock.

The Kon Tiki Strat was a limited edition of 2004, but not a CS Strat; the Tikicaster, I don't remember.

Right about the info but some Websites claim that 31 of these guitars were made!

Surely a misinformation... :?

FYI the guitar in question sported an Enforcer Humbucker in the bridge and a dual-coil ceramic pickup in the neck.
