Mojocaster.com - Crook Custom Guitar Review

[tehtrk]

The 4th position on the switch kinda has a Knopfler tone to it... maybe it's just your amp settings, I don't know

[Pocketafro]

the burst round the neck pickup doesn't look good.

[telerocker5150]

CROOK CUSTOM GUITARS! awesome. sounds good man!

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

I just put a TV Jones Classic in the neck of my Tele and I LOVE it!!

[memnochart]

sounds nice, looks not that nice

[shaniqua53]

wow that sounds great

[danz3600]

How much do Crook guitars usually cost?

[mojocaster]

About $2800 new... and they are well worth it.

[DangerousBastard]

Cool! Nice axe! I'm putting a project Strat together myself and I got one of those TV Jones humbuckers for the neck position, hoping it might add a little bit of that Gretsch grunt and sparkle.

Anyway, you play fine man, good sound!

[OnionsMcGee]

Man, that guitar sounds great!

By the way, how much would a Crook guitar like that go for, if you don't mind me asking?

[blackfireINSANITY]

psychedelic, man.

[elmo82]

all you need now is some dr z speakers and put it on position 1 and well have brad paisley, that is a faboulous sounding and looking tele

[mojocaster]

Wouldn't that be nice is Brad were kind enough to drop by? :)

[WGMSMan]

Beautiful sounding guitar, and an original choice of pickups. They sound great. In pos. four your getting a great Sultans of Swing type sound. Are you using the Ghia in this clip? If you don't mind me asking, what speakers are you playing it through?

[mojocaster]

Yes it's through the Ghia. Avatar 2x12 cab, can't remember what speakers, but they were not top of the line :)

[SHViking]

Mojo, I agree, I have owned a few Tele's, but never one this good. It sounds better and feels better than any Fender I have ever picked up. I'm glad to see that Bill is putting up some competition to Fender.

[mojocaster]

Is he ever!!!

[bigcountry4life5]

that is one nice guitar. it looks a little thinner than a standard fender tele, is that true? thts really the only complaint ive got with mine

[mojocaster]

I don't think it's thinner. If it is, it must be negligeable because I never realized that it is :)

[SHViking]

Nice playing! I've got me a Crook Tele too, I had him put a 56 Strat style middle pickup, Adder neck pickup and a Fralin Blues bridge pickup. I also had Bill add a G bender to it as well. Since I play mostly Country, the bender comes in handy. Bill makes a great guitar, I'm going to have him build me an Equire next. Keeping rockin'!

[mojocaster]

Please join my forum at 3chordguitar dot com and post pics of yours! Sounds like a fabulous guitar :)

[emericask8r420]

hes a lucky SOB

[mojocaster]

Yessir, I am :)

[pattyww]

i like your style

[pattyww]

beautie...

[FrankCastleIsAlive]

how are made the paisley on your guitar? I want to apply the same picture on my stratocaster! Do you think that it could be possible?

[mojocaster]

Talk to Bill Crook about that. Tell him mojocaster sent ya ;)

[2SikGuitar]

how does it compare to an american tele

oh and i like ur shirt :]

[mojocaster]

It's a far better guitar than any Fender I have ever owned.

[cwknig2]

SirDewdalot, you are an asshole, and what the fuck is wrong with Wal-mart?

[StratPMan]

The TV Jones sounds Great!

[mojocaster]

They never disappoint, do they? :)

[arkaedo18]

ignore SirDewdalot he probably hasent touched a guitar before it looks great i like the design but i knowiced that it has some "odd" qualitys it doesnt have a whammy bar(which some guitars dont) and it only has 2 adjusment knobs and no pickguard and they could aleast give u a toggle switch. can i ask how much this cost you overall?

[mojocaster]

Teles don't have whammy bars... which is why I love them. There is a pickguard, but it is transparent. There is a toggle switch, it's a 4-way switch. There are two knobs because there are two pickups ;)

As for cost, why don't you contact Bill Crook at crookcustomguitar dot com? He'll give you an updated quote...

[mojocaster]

non-sequitur... just saying. It's Latin for "It does not follow".If you want to use big words, make sure you know how to spell them. You irrational hatred is making you look pretty stupid right now. Move on and grow up, why don't ya?

[mojocaster]

1. I am not an American... get your facts straight.

2. I do not shop at, or support, Wal Mart.

3. Since you asked, that shirt is a docker from Levi's if memory serves... not that I give a shit what you think of my wardrobe.

4. This guitar is a lot of things... but looking like crap is not one of them. How about you post vids of your wonderful shirt collection and guitars so that we can compare? Chickenshit you are.

[KawiMan1000]

That is one SWEET tele. I would love to get one. Keep on playin' bro.

[bluemeany]

I have a squire custum tele, I was thinking of a filter tron type pup for the neck, maybe a GFS, thanks.

[mojocaster]

Email Jay Abend at GuitarFetish and get yourself a Hot Liverpool. Tell him Mojo from MojoCaster dot com says hi :)

[jawadahmad77]

they say you can tell a lot about a man from his vibrato - yours says nice things about you

[mojocaster]

That's the kindest thing I heard all day. Thanks for that :)

[normacagle]

dude i think i talked to you on the tdpri. my user name is telerocker5150

[mojocaster]

You probably did :)

[telerocker5150]

hey man. funny story.lol dude im telerocker but the normacagle is my friends username. the telerocker5150 and normacagle messages are both from me.i sent those messages and was in her account instead of mine.NORMACAGLE messages and TELEROCKER5150 were both me.that might make a lil more sense.lol

[telerocker5150]

how much would one of those guitars cost?

[mojocaster]

The body alone is usually in the $900 range. The full guitar last I talked to Bill would be about $2600... but you should contact him directly and ask for a quote with the hardware you want. Bill's a great guy. CrookCustomGuitars dot com - and I am not affiliated with him... I wish! :)

[normacagle]

i have a pink paisley of his i bought from a collector friend.i think ill save up and buy a dr z carmen ghia tho.what do you think about yours.

[mojocaster]

I want a pink one so bad I can taste it... and the Crook'n'Z combo is made in heaven! I love my Carmen Ghia... bought a Carr Hammerhead the other day, too... can't wait to get it :)

[beachhutblues]

I can lend you a plectrum if you want one?

Nice guitar!

Enjoy your vids.

[mojocaster]

Very kind of you, but I wouldn't know what to do with it :)

[melvis24]

fi the 4th position hums, the TV jones is splitted, if it doesn't it's switched from series (normal humbucker) to parallel. What ever, great sound!

[mojocaster]

Yeah, I agree, whatever it is, it's great fun :D

[coolmodine]

Not any good? Compared to whom? You play some good blues brotha.

[mojocaster]

Thanks for the kind words! Very much appreciated. BTW, I added 14 new videos on my site at threechordguitar dot com. They're free guitar lessons. If you are interested, feel free to check them out. Thanks!

[mojocaster]

I suppose I shouldn't be too fast to answer such lovely praise, but I will anyway... thanks :)

[GVP]

One of the best Tele's (or tele styled guitar)

iv'e ever heard ! Great usable tones in adittion

to the original Telecaster ones... Amazing guitar!

[mojocaster]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I very much appreciate it :)

[cutehammet]

Nice sweet sounding guitar! 5stars mate!

[mojocaster]
