Best Christmas Present Ever.......

[The Reverend 48]

I'm completely gobsmaked...
I have opened the best Christmas present ever........
A Master-Built Custom Telecaster made by our very own Luthier StevieM. He is a wizard......
I kid you not this one amazing guitar and what makes it that bit more special is that a bunch of the Blues All Stars chipped in for the hardware... to cap it all off was a book showing every stage of the build and some personal messages from some of the gang. Eventually I will post the story of how it was built
But for now I would like to thank StevieM and everybody involved with all my heart......
Here are a couple of pics of "The Celt"
Featuring
•   Solid ash body
•   Flamed maple neck
•   Schaller"Fender" tuners
•   Vintage wound pick ups
•   4 way switching
•   Celtic "pyrography" for mojo
•   Laminated wood scratch plate
•   Abalone Fret markers and knob tops
•   Hand made Fender style logo for added mojo (by Hazel Stevie's Wife)

As well as looking amazing it plays like a dream and sounds awesome...........
If I can stop shaking I will post something later.......

That's incredible.  Makes me feel all fuzzy about how nice this community is.

Congrats to you and to all involved in giving the gift.

I'm stunned too, and the tone is really something.  This sounds like some of your best playing yet, strong yet fluid, sharp yet sweet, the tone is so perfect, cuts right through like you said.  This has that Tele tone for sure.  how does it feel, neck, action, etc, it bet it is incredible.  Good one, well deserved, merry christmas Mike.
