Bill Asher's T Deluxe model is a killer Tele-style guitar for folks looking to buck tradition.

Why We Love This

Played acoustically, this HT-Deluxe has all the liveliness and snap you'd expect from a great ash bodied Tele-style guitar. The soft V carved maple neck (12" radius, 1 21/32" nut width) feels incredible - gently broken-in, with a nod toward modern playability (given the radius).

The Asher-wound Black T bridge pickup brings plenty of traditional Tele twang to the gig while the hum-cancelling Fralin H90 - with aforementioned tweed cover! - delivers classic P90 midrange and snarl minus the noise. Combined with a Veritone V10 circuit (chicken head knob), you have anything from classic Tele twang to very convincing archtop tones available (this circuit basically functions like a multi-position wah pedal in terms of how it shapes your EQ).

Combined with a very light overall weight, versatile pickup combo, and Veritone switch, these specs add up to a killer Tele-style guitar for folks looking to buck tradition.
