Elixir

Something a little different for Tele tuesday I built this one earlier in the year. Colour is difficult to capture so I've included an under construction photo to show colour and flame : Flame maple neck with binding (was on the Parfitt replica further up the thread but that got a standard neck) Mahogany body with flame maple top stained purple. Faux Binding. Hand rubbed "oil" finish. Neck end is conventional - Gotoh SD91s and Butterfly string tree. Bridge - Wilkinson by Sung Il with steel grooved saddles Pickup - Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Controls - No Switch, custom plate with volume and tone, flat top knobs Merle Haggard-style parchment pickguard. Dunlop flush mount straplocks. A little uncoventional but it suits me nicely. Andy

I play for a church and I switch between bass (my main instrument) and acoustic guitar (my backup), I own 3 basses (2 electric and 1 electro-acoustic) and 4 guitars (2 electric, 1 acoustic and 1 electro-acoustic) and a cajon. I always thought of myself as a bassist but now that I own more guitars than basses and I play more acoustic guitar in church than I play bass, I now simply think of myself as a musician. There are kids in our church Worship Team that play multiple instruments and put most adults to shame, one plays drums, bass, keyboards and flute. If you fancy playing something, have a go, give it a try and embrace music as a whole.
