Todays "Hot or Not" is from a small builder that i cran across on LinkedIn this week. This guitar in particular reminded me of my Suhr Tele done a little more "Nashville" and I actually asked him if it was cool to post this....you might actually get a visit from the builder in this thread if you have questions. :)

I love my blackout 'nashville style' tele. I'm not crazy about the green finish, but I really like the concept. A tele with 2/4 strat sounds is a very versatile thing.
 
It is a pretty popular configuration. Also, I just noticed that he's got that switchplate that moves the controls around.
 
Reply from Bruno to early comments

Hi everybody,
I just register, and I am the small builder Mark is talking about: Bruno Jacquet. I wanted to give an answer on this early comments "Is it hot or not!"
It seems that reverse peg head specially attracted the attention. I like that, it is the reason it is like it is (beside the fact that was a specific order). Some people like it, some don't. For everyone who want something unusual, recognizable it does the trick.
Now about the price. Well I am a small builder, not making thousand's of guitars a year, and I pay attention to everything, especially the quality of my work. This takes time and, this alone do have a value that I transfer to the final price, Make sense, No? Of course you can buy a Tele for a couple of hundred bucks but it is not the same move than buying my guitars, not the same reasons, neither the same intentions or feelings, at the end it is up to you.
The color is also up to you, of course. We are building Custom Guitars so everything is possible.
I want to take the opportunity to direct you to the model I designed the TC100 Anniversary: http://www.jacquetguitars.com/custom-guitar-builder-tc100-anniversary.shtml. This guitar is getting a lot of attention right now. If you want to listen I put a video at the end of this post. Get back to me to let me know what you think. If you like it, says so on YouTube, that's always help, thank you.
Happy Holiday to all of you

I'm not sure I understand why folks think a Tele should be cheaper than any other instrument. With a custom guitar it's all about the details and finishing work and not bolt on vs. set neck.
