Wellllllll looky here !!!! A lefty Tele, in what is known as olive drab, which really is Lake Placid blue with yellowed aged lacquer over it.
So what do you get for your money with a Bespoke Custom Built Guitar ???
Lets see, a one piece swamp ash body at 3lbs 7ozs
A quartersawn maple neck, of your specs and sizing. Hand made unbleached bone nut, and of course our famous fretwork. Wont get that on your Costume Slop guitars. 😁
Orpheus Alnico 3 pickups on this one, but all customers choose what they want and we build them to their needs.
Allan Pascoe brass intonated saddles and stainless steel neck plates.
Wiring harness contains Mojotone Custom Vintage taper pots and a CRL switch. Russian military grade paper & oil tone cap. Treble bleed is also paper & oil with a NOS Allen & Bradley carbon capacitor. Its only wired to the neck pickup on this guitar.
I’d put this up against pretty much any Tele you’d want to compare it to, at tge absolute highest level.
So folks...... before you spend your money on a factory made guitar, a bunch of lies, or a bucket full of hype.... please contact us and see what a totally finished guitar with absolutely nothing to change or upgrade on, would do for the music you play.

A new Bespoke is born !!!!!!
So exactly what do you get with one of our guitars ???
Firstly, this is not a basic factory model guitar, rebuilt with an upgrade of parts.
These guitars are thoughtfully created with your input as to what would make the perfect combination of timbers, parts and hardware. They are WAY above any custom shop guitar, as every detail is hand finished or custom built.
Have a read of the specs of this one.

- One piece, swamp ash body, 3lbs 8ozs
- Light flame, quartersawn maple neck with a dark Indian Rosewood fingerboard. 10” radius.
- real Mother of Pearl shell fret dots & side dots.
- Jescar fretwire. Seated, dressed and polished to a perfect half round crown with a 3 corner file. Not some shoddy pre shaped file or a Plek machine. By hand, the correct way.
- Hand made, unbleached bone nut.
- Orpheus 62 Classic Strat pickups, extra hot bridge with a steel plate underneath to give it some Tele like mid range projection.
- Russian Military made, paper and wax tone caps.
CTS vintage taper pots, 3% tolerance models.
- CRL switch
- Switchcraft output jack.
- Allan Pascoe of Melbournes, hand crafted bridge. Carved from billets of cold rolled steel.
-Allans stainless steel neck plate, mounted with stainless neck screws.
- Highwood Saddles.
- Raw Vintage tremolo springs ( same steel as 50’s ones, hence why we use 5 of them. They are softer to the touch.)
- Tone Pros Deluxe machine heads.

Push push pot on the lower tone is to engage bridge pickup no matter where the 5 way switch is set. So you can get neck & bridge, or all the pickups at once.
