Inspiration

This theme is meant to be a Barn Build. As if a farmer built the guitar from some wood scraps he had. However, if this was truly made by a farmer it most likely would not play feel and sound as it does. This is a dream guitar and at the time of its completion, my new personal favorite. The ultimate Telecaster once again.
