No,Ben I`m the guy that brings the teas and coffees round on the trolley. Gabe.

That's good to know Gabe - you'll be popular at our do in Leeds in a couple of weeks.

:wink:

Looks like that Tele needs a fret-job?

I think a fret dress should be O.K. Mike,the frets are Gibson types ,which is an interesting experience on a tele.Gabe.

Clearly an ancient thread, but I just started getting into Seymour Duncan gtrs and was wondering what the guitar looked like that was referenced at the beginning of this discussion. I can piece together that it was a tele, red and has P90s because it is said to be like a Moon Reggae Master. A link was provided, but the Wayback Machine didn't archive it.
I ask because I might have that guitar.
Thanks

Look at the Custom Pro series and you will find what you are looking for.

Thanks guys-- I appreciate it.
Although on this gtr the headstock says Seymour Duncan, one thing that threw me off was there being no Seymour Duncan stamp on the bare wood of the neck joint.
The body joint is totally unmarked. It's plain, bare wood, but the neck has a handwritten marking in Japanese that says "Duncan" (in katakana) and ("measured" to fit Duncan) in kanji followed by a K in a circle.
I thought the body was one piece, but it you look very closely, it's a two-piecer.
It was buzzing a bit too much for me, but that was remedied with a maple shim.
(I removed a super thin cardboard shim I found when I took the gtr apart.)
The pickups were wound by Maricela Juarez, the manager of the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop.

Looks awesome! Got any more photos, maybe of the headstock?

Thanks-- it's the perfect tele for me (belly cut, P90s, rosewood fretboard).
Sure-- here are some more photos.
