There videos are great. Being there to watch several of them be filmed was super cool, and very very loud. Phil plays at full volume through the 30 watt ER. The videos are shot on Sundays.

Here is a photo of me and Phil with a guitar he donated to my charity auction. It is a USA ESP Custom Shop that he decorated himself.

Back on topic...


In my video I am wearing a Guitar World T shirt. Guitar World is one of my sponsors to my Charity Rock Auction. The Marketing Manager has seen the video and sent me an email to say she liked it (we trade emails often about my charity). I thought that was pretty damn cool!

I took the Beck into my favorite Luthier, Keith Holland (www.khguitars.com). The intonation drives me nuts on this guitar, even with the Callaham Compensated saddles. If you are ever in the San Francisco Bay Area, you have to stop by his shop. Great Guy, Great Prices, Fantastic Luthier.

He is a huge Tele Freak and builds some beautiful custom guitars. I am heading there again today for a tweak of another guitar.

Thanks, it's a super fun guitar to play. The Eldred Mod definitely makes all three positions very useful!

Has anybody tried the Eldred and Arlo mods in the same Esquire via a four way switch?

Just wanted to 'thank you' for the vid of the two builds you did.

Been thinking about building a Tele of my own...I'll check out your suppliers.

Hello Tyronne,

Thank you for the nice note. I have a couple other builds that I have been meaning to make videos of:

A Ron Kirn Barnbuster made from 160 year old Pine

And a Rutters/Rhomco Cabronita style:

Image

I will try to get around to them this week. I also have another MJT build that should be finished this week too:

I also have a 2010 American Deluxe Ash, a 2010 American Standard 3TSB, a 2011 American Standard Natural Ash, and a Heavily modded CV50. So while I do appreciate Fender's Telecasters, I have a blast building them.

Don

I am in LA and I brought Beck with me. I hung out with Phil yesterday (he love this guitar). The look in his eyes makes me nervous!
