Worm Rout

As you can see, the restoration is going well. This is no candidate for a sunburst, but at least we've reversed the atrocity of that swimming pool. Worm rout added for authenticity and practicality.

Today I'm going to tell you about a true luthier, Mason Marangello. This guy is living my dream (making custom strats and teles). He uses select woods, hand-makes all the bodies and necks, and uses only Nitrocellulose lacquer. These guitars are the real deal, think Fender Custom Shop Quality - and cost less than an American Standard Fender. Too good to be true? Absolutely not. Matter of fact, Tux may soon be equipped with a MaranGuitars Charcoal Frost Metallic body. :) Now let me whet your appetite as much as mine is:

Yes, that's a strat in dark green, with 2 p-90's and a single-coil.

Check out the flame on that neck. Amazing. Check out MaranGuitars MySpace page and stay tuned for his upcoming website.
