4th line. there is a telecaster with skulls, dices, bridge cover with skulls again..

Does masterbuilder do ALL that for the customer?

That is crazy.

I had no idea what you could do with a masterbuilder.

Always remember that anything is possible with enough $ :? And I'll bet the guys in the custom shop love to work on really different stuff. Part of being in a really creative business.

You have to have more than $$$$, I've offered as much of that green stuff as you could throw at them to simply put a Tele bridge and pickup on a Strat for me and they said that they wouldn't do it for any price. You actually have to BE SOMEBODY to get it done. Like the Mirrored Tele you see there, that was done for Keith Urban etc. So, the "Custom" offerings are thinks like, yeah, we'll put a mint green set of knobs on there instead of the normal white ones. They might replace the white pickguard for a black one. That is about as deep as they've offered to go each time I've tried to order one in. Pretty sad.

Strange that the Custom Shop didn't use the Custom Shop Tele bridge with the end lip on the Mirror Tele. Great neck and guitar!!

Yeah, that neck color and finish is probably the most amazing I've ever seen on a guitar.

I wouldn't want to order that guitar, the poor lad who made it would have 7 years bad luck for breaking a mirror o_O

Wow...

I didn't know. I mean, it's a masterbuilt, why wouldn't they go as deep as the customer asked them to?

There's more than money after all..

That guitar was made for "The Rev" Billy Gibbons. Most likely a one off so I doubt you'll be able to get one.

Just a suggestion why not visit some tourist traps in Louisiana collect some nic nacs and make your own.
