Oh!  :o Es ist sehr schön.

Ist es hohl? Scheint ja ein ziemlich dicker Korpus zu sein...mit Bigsby wird es auch nicht leichter.  ???


Ciao

It's hollow. The guy he built it for is VERY TALL, hence the name.

Hi Steven,

Very nice Guitar, Tele Specs and Filtertrons do work great together. I have something similar coming up (well, it'll take until September) a Schwarz Supercharger (http://www.schwarz-custom.de/supercharger.html), equipped with TV Jones Supertrons, Swampash Body, Canadian Maple Neck, Indian Rosewood Fretboard with a 9.5-12" Compound Radius, Fano Bridge, STB, in Sparkle Orange with a red Tortoise Pickguard...can't wait...it will be my 2nd Guitar from Schwarz and most likely there is more to come over the next years ;)

Gruß

Hi Blues -

This one uses a vintage Gretsch for the neck and a custom-wound Dawgtown in the bridge. The break angle over the bridge was too shallow, even with a 4-degree angle to the neck, so he fabricated a bar to hold down the strings from alu and delrin, you can see it in the photo.

This one was made to order for a specific customer to his design.

I'm waiting for my own next - 3-pup tele with B- and G-benders. A Filtertron neck would have been cool, though. Maybe September.
