An alternative term for the pattern is “crotch mahogany,\" because it derives from a crotch in the tree. The flame pattern extends outward from a core in waves.  Mahogany is hugely favored tonewood, and the flame on this hand-picked piece stands out as an example of how beautiful it can be.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother feature that you'll be sure to notice is the roasted neck, made out of rock-solid quartersawn maple.  The 60's Oval \"C\" neck shape is super comfortable, and is capped with a beautiful piece of AAA rosewood for the fretboard (sorted to to find the darkest piece on hand).  This guitar has the modern preference of a 9.5\" radius and 6105 frets making it easy to play.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe chose classic '63 Tele pickups give it the vintage sound that is beloved by Tele players everywhere.  \u003cspan\u003eThe bridge pickup provides punchy mids and hot highs for that classic Tele twang, with staggered pole pieces to even out the inter-string response.  The neck neck pickup provides a warm and creamy tone.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe haven't seen a Tele with a Flame Mahogany top like this ever -
