Subject: April 53 oddball Tele for your enjoyment!

I got this about a month ago....From the original owners son...When I got it, it was unplayable...No nut or fret left...deep ridges in the fingerboard..wiring was all screwy..had a new nut, and frets put on it..go the wiring up to snuff, removed the "kill" switch...now shes an absolute screamer!! This is definitely the most played guitar I have ever seen..and the coolest!!

She appears to be all there, just customized!!

I've been gigging it lately and really like it..the pickups are EXTREMELY microphonic and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that..we'll see..

Anyway, just wanted to share this with you guys...click the link to go to a ton more detailed shots!!

let me know what you think and thanks!!!
