I had a telecaster custom made for me by upcomming luthier Alastair Miller. He is becomming known for his acoustics and this was the first electric he made. It is a standard tele built out of swamp ash with figured maple neck and ebony fret board. The neck pick up is a fender vintage tele neck and the bridge is a seymour duncan '51 broadcaster, suprisingly the two pickups are balanced perfectly.

I am primarily a tele player and have to say this is the best souding guitar I've ever owned. I used to play Les Pauls and SGs and also Strats. As far as teles however this one is the best I've played.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The action was set up nice when I got it but like most guitar players I have lowered the action to suit my preferences.
Reliability/Durability

I have gigged with this guitar many times, it is my first guitar now and I rarely play a gig without it. As far as the hardware, I chose it so it's great. Schaller M6 mini machine heads so it never goes out of tune and a brass 3 saddle componsated bridge. I have used this guitar without a back up and I'll do it again. This guitar is very durable, it's a tele!

I have spoke to Al quite a few times and he's a pleasure to deal with but I haven't had any problems with the guitar.

I have been playing for 16 years, and I play in 3 different bands. I play rock in one, acid jazz in the other and folky stuff in the other. Obviously I have other guitars but this one is deffinately my favorite.
