Comment :

Telecaster-style. My initial thought was to build a tribute guitar to "General Lee", the car from the Dukes of Hazard TV show. I wanted to paint the southern flag on the headstock. I didn't find the time or skill to take the concept as far as I wanted, but the Alnico-II & Quarter-Pounder combo is wonderful and gives IMHO the best "crunch" sound of all the pickup combinations I've tried so far.
