Jay Black, Ex Senior Master Builder....

Pepi, my friend who just got his Linhof (built by Ex-Senior Masterbuilder at the Custom Shop, Jay Black, who has
built for many of the famous) had this to say: "Got a Linhof today, number 57 made by ex-Fender Custom Shop masterbuilder
Jay Black: cool black stressed finish, smooth maple neck, humbucker in the neck position and typical Tele pickup in the bridge. This guitar is incredible!! Plays like an old pal that you've chatted with for years and has all the twang and warmth of the old Fender Teles. These are sure to get attention -- well I guess they already have given that some really heavy cats are playing them like Joe Walsh, John Mayer, Joe Bonamassa, etc. Funny how there's a million boutique Strats out there but not so many Teles when it's the Tele that all the monsters turn to. Glad to have this one in the house!!". Pepi is right, except these guitars
built by Jay Black, for Linhof, have NOT, for some odd reason, got much notice, except amongst real players... reminds me of
1987, when I was telling people about Paul Reed Smith...er...but back to the Fender Custom Shop...
