Rat rod telecaster
Ok, technically not a CBG but Cigar Box Nation is directly to blame for this instrument being built so I am sharing it here.
Presenting: "Conviction"
A tribute to the venerable Fender a Telecaster, built in a rat rod style with vintage flair and lots of power under the hood thanks to a pair of shiny Chrome played CB Gitty Snake Oil humbucking pickups.
Back in 1957 Ontario was pressing license plates in prisons and hadn't yet repealed the death penalty. A blues riff on this instrument carries a level of authority you don't come across often.

Oh yeah. Dandy. I think we've moved on from cigar box based instruments. LPGs and quite a few others fit into the way my head groups things.

Cool Greg ! This baby appeals to me on many levels : I love my Tele , I admire other's Rat Rods , USA & Canada have nice to look at pressed plates unlike our UK plastic rubbish ... It looks badass ,,, Can you please post a video demo ?
