Dad's Guitar

I had a bunch of left over Ash from Michael's Guitar, so I thought it'd be cool to build my dad a guitar from the same board. I went back to the classic Tele design because I thought Pop would appreciate the aesthetic. I don't have many pics of this guy since it now lives in Overland Park, KS.

Somehow I turned a birthday present for Dad into a guitar build (I really have no shame).

Oh... Dad's name is Michael. My name is Michael. My oldest son's name is Michael. My youngest son's name is Connor Michael... this is getting ridiculous.
