NGD - Custom Tele Flame Maple Top

Experienced
A friend of mine from my church asked me if I'd test drive his latest build so he could hear it live (I play for my church's band), not to sell it to me. Of course, I said yes since it was a fine looking guitar... however, to my surprise, I instantly fell in love with it when I played it live and sold my USA G&L ASAT to fund the purchase and didn't give him a chance to get this back.

This guitar fits me. Light, beautiful, plays/sustains gorgeously, and sounds fan-tas-tic. I need to record something with it for you guys.

If this wasn't for praise and worship style a Floyd would be a must, so I feel you there. Must see your build!

Nice man! Love the color of it, and the no-pickguard look too!

Thanks man, these are two of my fav features.
