Post by: Iome on February 05, 2010, 01:41:14 AM: I've seen this on the net http://www.zacharyguitars.com/070209pics.htm (http://www.zacharyguitars.com/070209pics.htm) , the builder hate people who talkes instruments on forums, but i love the look of that body. Anyone got an idea of how it would sound with a good neck and electronics?

I remember awhile back on the TDPRI that someone posted a link to a Tele-style guitar he did. Looked like the finish was done by a three year old.

Yep, I'd have to agree with your asswipe comment. Asswipe indeed.
