Nope, it's a Travis Bean TB500

^ That Bean is real pretty. And rare as hell (pretty sure not many were made). Is it lighter than other Beans?

All these aluminum guitars on this page made me want to post my Kramer.
So, here's my current collection!
Squier VM JM and VM Jag, Kramer 350g, and a Les Paul Studio.

351 units were made. I've only played TB500s, so I can't compare it to other TBs. The Kramer is way heavier than the TB.

Hey, we discovered it, we can call it what we want

(Well, we didn't and it was called aluminum before it was aluminium, but don't tell anyone )

SKULLY YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD.





Soooooo story time.

Originally I was gonna grab this bad boy for myself with pay installments to skullservant. My girlfriend, being awesome/prone to browsing my search history saw this and got at skully via Facebook and bought it in secret. When I saw the box by the tree I was suspicioussssss but didn't wanna assume so I chilled. Then lo and behold, xmas comes and I tear into the box to find this mothafucka waiting for me!

I've heard stuff from other people on the board about the quality of the gits skully puts together, and this is definitely on par with those. Super light, thin coating on the wood and short scale so its fast as fuck. Haven't gotten to play it through my main rig but I've got nothing to do tomorrow but jam so you best believe imma run her through her paces.

Just in general, getting this thing was just incredibly nice and something I wasn't expecting. My girlfriend is as always the best for snagging this for me. Can't thank her enough. And Skully, you already know I got you if you ever need anything period, but consider that offer strengthened indefinitely. You the man dude, and still are my favorite pedal builder.

Yoooooo that guitar is so sick, congrats!
What is the scale length?

killer xmas present!

That is a sexy tele, dude. Congratulations!

That neck is from a Squier Tele, it was 22 frets so I think it's standard scale? Not sure but it was fun as hell to put together. Fun fact, the body is hollow and thats why its so light!

Was that the masonite one? Sexy tele man! The pickguard really completes it.

I figured thats why it was so light. Nice!

I put new knobs on my offsets. More chrome = more tone!
