Today I got a very exciting email from Nacho telling me my guitar has shipped! He also linked me to an album of professional pictures of my guitar and immediately I wanted to share it with you guys.. some gratuitous guitar porn in this album.. especially the hi-res close up shots near the end!

So excited to get this guitar in my hands!.. not long to wait now! I'll be uploading an exclusive "unboxing and first impressions" kind of video for you lovely people supporting me here on Patreon.

I've just had a look at the photos on Flickr and their website - they make some seriously good looking guitars!

Nacho is THE telecaster man no doubt. I'm honoured to have one incoming.. still can't really believe it!

Amazing instrument. You’re a lucky man.

Andrew Plummer

I can't wait to see it in one of my lessons some time soon!

Michael Lumert

OH. MY. GOODNESS. That’s extraordinary!

Nice

I’m really sorry you’ve been scammed. You ordered a new guitar and they’re sending a wreck. You’ll have to get it resprayed and all the rusty bits replaced, but I’m sure it will be ok and look great once you’ve carefully written ‘Fender’ on the headstock with a biro.

Alex Farran Guitar

😂😂 My calligraphy skills aren’t up to much.. fancy doing that for me if I send it your way mate?

Hey Alex, Congrats! I'm a new member, so apologies for the next question as I'm sure it's common knowledge, what Tele are you playing currently? I'll be super interested to hear your thoughts and comparisons when it arrives. I hoped to try one at Vintage Guitar Emporium just before christmas but the Nacho they were expecting had yet to arrive. I did get to try a nash and an LSL as well as an original '58. All were predictably wonderful but I was shocked at how good the LSL was. the LSL & Nash were about £2.5K used and I know the Nacho is a step up again so can't wait for some feedback and comparisons against any of the above you might be familiar with. Thanks,

It has to be the most beautiful blackguard I have ever seen. Congratulations! Did you have it modeled on a specific 52 Telecaster that Tadeo Gomez worked on? Or is it a mix of features you liked? Are the frets stainless steel? same width as original but higher? I was trying to figure out the wiring but did not have the patience. It seems to be a 67 wiring? Did you use log pots for both the volume and the tone? .05 ohm capacitor? Don't feel obligated to answer all the questions I am throwing at you. In any case, wish you and your Nacho the best of playing.

I refrain from asking for the tracking number to see if everything is ok.😀

Just listening to “Golden Loam” by Laurel Premo and I believe it is a match made in heaven for you and the natchocaster

Joseph Desteiguer

Wow! That's just what most everyone would like. Congrats!

Alex, I'm cuious, is the Nachocaster for lack of a better term "vintage specific". I mean, is the neck the thick baseball bat of the 50's, or can you get that customized to your preferance? Thanks

Alex Farran Guitar

In this case it’s pretty much vintage specific, with a neck profile based on one of Nacho’s own vintage teles. But, when ordering you can choose pretty much any profile you like, including more modern options so it’s all very much down to the individual.
