I find single coil mounting rings to be horrid. They pretty kill any chance of my aesthetic appreciation of a guitar. As such, despite my massive love of Teles, this one can suck a bag of...well, you know.

This. I get it if you are building the guitar yourself and aren't so hot with a router to get it that close around the neck pickup, but for $3200 you better be good enough to get that route done right.
 
I live in a state where the University of Tennessee Volunteers orange is everywhere. No more orange please!
 
I really try to be a rationale, polite person who really tries to only say good things about other peoples work... but really? 3200 dollars for another f'ing tele clone?

Ugh.

Ugh.

I try to do that as well. There's a lot of work, tooling, planning and blood & tears that go into making guitars and I hate to rain on parades. But I gotta agree. A telecaster just isn't that hard to make and the woods aren't hyper exotic. It's poplar, fer crying out loud. I can buy that at Home Depot.
 
I saw the Neville booth at last year's Chicago area guitar show. Pricey Teles abounded.

Not interested.
