World renowned for his extremely accurate tuning system, Buzz Feiten has now taken his meticulous requirements for a quality instrument and made one all his own. This is the BF-NT with a Cappuccino finish. Built in the USA, the BF-NT features an alder body, a vintage "C" shaped maple neck with a 14" radius, DiMarzio pickups, and Grover tuners. There are some cool "behind the scenes" features of the BF-NT, such as the neck pocket being .30" wider than usual, extremely helpful for keeping your grip when soloing up high. The guitar also has a built-in tone switch which acts to knock out the high-end treble of the humbucker to get some excellent twangy single-coil tones for rhythm playing.

  • Lightweight Alder Body
  • Vintage "C" Shape Two Piece Maple Neck
  • Maple Fretboard

An overpriced S/H Tele copy with a 14" fb radius? WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rawk:













Actually, would be nice at half the price with a 9.5" radius and not a (moral) ripoff :embarrassed:.

Actually, I kind of like that.

Seems overpriced, but I wouldn't mind trying it out.

I think it looks kind of interesting.
The white pickup ring has to go, though. Clashes with the tort.
 
I'm not crazy about a top loading Tele, especially on anything costing more than about $300.
I'm not crazy about a Tele with a bridge humbucker -- then adding a switch to make it sound "like" a Tele
I'm not crazy about a backwards-installed humbucker
I don't see the .30" wider neck pocket doing anything except looking weird. When's the last time you "lost your grip" high on the neck?
The pickguard covers a lot of finish but doesn't seem to guard much from the pick. What's the point?

But I'm ok with the 14" straight radius, at least.
 
don't like the pickup ring around the bridge pickup, just extend the pickguard to cover the bridge pickup.
