Personal Reflection:
This Limited Edition Exotic Telecaster from 2017 stands out for its beautiful Cherry finish paired with the deep richness of a Rosewood fingerboard. What makes this guitar truly unique is its use of Honduran Mahogany for the body—a wood choice that gives this Telecaster a warmer, more resonant tone compared to traditional ash or alder bodies.
Ben had some great insights about why Honduran Mahogany works so well in this build. He mentioned that mahogany tends to emphasize the midrange frequencies, giving the guitar a fuller, more rounded sound, which is perfect for players who want more warmth and depth in their tone. He also appreciated the weight of the Honduran Mahogany, which is typically lighter than other types, making this guitar incredibly comfortable to play for extended periods. The American Vintage '58 pickups complement this wood choice beautifully, providing clarity and articulation with just the right amount of Tele twang.
 
Condition Report:
This Telecaster is in excellent condition, with no visible wear on the finish or hardware. The cherry gloss finish still looks vibrant and fresh. It’s been set up for low action and plays like a dream, offering a blend of vintage tone with modern playability. It comes with its original deluxe hardshell case, making it perfect for both collectors and players.
