Hey,
So im not the biggest tele fan in the world but got the opportunity to jam on one of Foster's after he had put the thing together... for anyone in the pretoria area, well worth checking out... these are cool guitars.
What a cool guitar, His tele's have an awesome bridge that doesnt go out of tune... EVER... I literally turned the tuner 5 turns before it went out of tune. This particualr bridge is spring compensated.
Body has subtle contouring making it so comfy.. and this guitar had his own brand pickups in which were very toneful.
Awesome package...
Also notable is the unique neck joint, super comfy and it follows te neck contour so your hand lierally wraps around it... very nice touch indeed.
He had a few he was busy with and the timber varies between alder, ash, swamp ash, mahogany... whatever you fancy really, and he has some really cool figured maple tops too.
anywho..
