Scott Ilott has been building guitars on Vancouver Island in Western Canada for over 50 years. Crafted from the finest woods, with best components all of Scott's guitars are made with passion for tone, design, and quality.
This tele inspired build features an Alder body with a beautifully figured Western Maple neck that has a comfortable modern C carve. The guitar is painted in a pewter blue with small flake red sparkle. The guitar was then finished with a Nitrocellulose lacquer.
The guitar features an Allied Luthier 2-way truss rod for precise set ups, 19:1 Ratio Kluson Revolution series tuners and Callaham Vintage Enhanced Compensated Saddles for precise tuning and intonation. As pictured, Ilott drilled the 11th fret marker as well and filled it.

Seymour Duncan Josh Smith Flat V Pickups:
Josh Smith is well-known for his soulful and nuanced approach to playing blues, jazz, country, rock, and everything in between. He trusts Tele®-style guitars for any gig, session, or world tour, and when he needed a custom pickup set with responsiveness dialed to his playing style, he came to Seymour Duncan. His signature Flat V pickup set features a unique blend of Alnico 2 and Alnico 4 magnets in the bridge, and Alnico 3 magnets in the neck which provide Josh an uncompressed tone that responds to his most expressive playing. These dynamic, vintage-output pickups are now available in the Custom Shop for any fans of fat, twangy Tele®-style guitar tones.
