Black Walnut + Zebra tele-gib
"As each of my guitars is built, I'd like to think I give it life"--- Zi Guitar
Black Walnut Tele-Gib
Guitarists have been modding electric guitars since, well … since there were electric guitars, a telecaster humbucker conversion was one of the first mods to become relatively commonplace. Guitarists tried to put more contemporary elements or Gibson-like sounding, sometimes feeling like a mutation or hybrid of Telecasters. Wherever that path’s origins, it’s led me to this evolutionary incarnation of this "Black Walnut & Zebra Tele-Gib set today.
Zebra Tele-Gib
The "Zebra Tele-Gib" started out with book matching Zebra wood top with chambered ash body. Wenge wood neck with Bocote fingerboard, along with some best components you can find today. I must say this Tele-Gib set is one of my recent favorites built, both visually and tonally.
