Paul 's Reeve Telecaster

Paul's ReeveTele was custom made by Jez Reeve of Luton. It features a reshaped, book-matched maple top (recycled from a Gibson Les Paul Standard), Iroko back (recycled from science lab benching), rock maple neck and fingerboard, Seymour Duncan mini Humbuckers, gold Schaller machine heads and a custom made gold bridge/tailpece assembly, the design of which is based on the classic 6 roller Fender telecaster unit.

The guitar was set up for Paul by the luthier himself.
