Man, that's gorgeous. Can you post a clip???

Beautiful!! I just checked out your website - some amazing guitars. I was trying to read the headstock but couldn't quite make out the text. I'm assuming it is "S.Talkovich"?

Is that you playing the guitar?

Thanks, you have the name right!

That's JJ Boogie (i know him as Jason) on my front porch swing, he plays w/ Arrested Development and tours the world w/ the band. He just picked up the guitar today.

Phildog, there are some clips on my site from another guitar, same model but a thinline (most of the t90 models are thinlines).

Wow - stunning tele. P90 in the neck is my favorite for a tele

I did. I've know Jason since he was 15, came over to my garage to record drums w/ guys I knew. Since then I've seen him every 4-5 yrs or so.

Jason borrowed one of my guitars from a mutual friend and took it on tour, fell in love and wanted one, the band told him how much better it sounded than his other axes!

Since Jason plays in all kinds of venues, some "third world" w/ different stage wiring issues I decided to try the dummy coil for hum canceling. My pickup builder, David Budz,... (we've designed all the pickup combos I use), designed a system for Jason. I'm excited to see how it works in the field, here it was dead quiet.

Here's Jason w/ his borrowed guitar from the last tour.

That's one great looking guitar! I'll keep it in mind when I'm looking for my next T-style guitar....

That's a great story!

That gold guitar looks great, and the clips from Randy Chapman are wonderful. I especially liked the first, jazzy one.

I've always kind of liked Arrested Development, too, although I don't know much beyond that one big album.

Nice guitars, nice story!
