Tell us more about the Tele (and any other builds you may do/have done)!
This one is going to have a modified body (carved it in a couple spots) and my first go with a Bisgby. The neck is also my first doing a different material fretboard (Padauk) and a tilted headstock. It’s been an interesting build thus far.Tell us more about the Tele (and any other builds you may do/have done)!
Haha. One of the perks of carrying the brands I do is that if no one buys them, I’ll happily smoke ‘emCareful, you’re going to smoke up all of your inventory!!!
I love padauk as a tone wood. I've had two Washburn N4s made from solid padauk (ebony fingerboards), and another single cut (Les Paul specs) with a padauk top instead of maple. Man, those things all sing. There's a guitar / musical instrument thread somewhere in the depths of the general forum. You should search it out and post some photos. I know I'm not the only one who would love to see them!This one is going to have a modified body (carved it in a couple spots) and my first go with a Bisgby.

My other builds have been standard tele bodies with a couple different headstock shapes I have fooled with. My most unique build (until this one is done) was one I build entirely from a retired Jim Beam barrel.
How did that pair? I love Laphroaig. I'm curious to hear how well the cigar held up to the bold, smoked peat forward flavor profile of the whisky. That picture is definitely mouthwatering to say the least!
I’ll dig around and see if I can find that thread!I love padauk as a tone wood.

Nice to you see you posting my friend
I enjoy a heavy peat scotch to sip with a cigar, so long as the cigar is no less than medium to full. Some of the more subtle notes can become lost if you go right from drink to puff.How did that pair? I love Laphroaig.

Thanks for the feedback. I tend to drink water only while smoking. I’ll give it a shot again sometime.I enjoy a heavy peat scotch to sip with a cigar, so long as the cigar is no less than medium to full. Some of the more subtle notes can become lost if you go right from drink to puff.
But if you give yourself a moment or two between nothing is lost. Just my 2 cents, try it out and let us know how it goes.
Is that one of the cigars from you dad's box?
Those are fantastic.Street Taco
