SAN LORENZO GUITARS- Carbon fibers concept - Handcrafted in France

The T-Skin is our interpretation of the famous Telecasters®. Our High grad carbon fibers concepts have been scrupulousy adapted to respect the so characteristic Twang and the mythical codes of this instrument. A successful marriage of luthier know-how, mojo and innovative conception

Body is hollow and the soundboard vibrates. Rigidity of the carbon fiber neck combined with the system of heart reinforcements of the top, allow a good balanced tone and a great sustain. This guitar has a very good and acoustic comportment, even unplugged!

Handwouned Sp Custom® Pickups associate with the unique design of San Lorenzo guitars provides outstanding performance, comfort and stability to climate change. As a result, T-Skin weighs only 3.5Lbs (1.6kg), freeing the musicians from the weight of the instrument

Apart from the tuning machines and the top quality electronic components, each part of this guitar is handcrafted in our workshop. San Lorenzo Guitars are built to last, and lifetime guaranted for their first owner

I can't tell if that is an actual guitar or a drawing of a guitar. It looks cool enough but I don't like the bridge. It forces you to either cut the pickguard or be stuck with that bridge forever.
 
I'd like it not relic treated and with a regular pick guard. I also want that toggle switch on the metal control plate and I don't like those slats on the upper bout. I guess I want a tele. I dig the cool looking neck joint.

To me it seems weird to make a guitar from carbon fiber, a pretty advanced material, then relic it so it looks like a beat up tele. I'd like it more with a clear gloss over the raw carbon fiber and modern satin hardware.
 
I kinda like that. I would definitely like to play one. Though playing a 3.5 pound guitar would take some getting used to. And the relic stuff has got to stop. Just build a guitar. I'll add the wear myself.

I don't hate it but I don't want to own it either. Not digging the bridge or the upper slats. And a bolt on neck seems like the appropriate attachment on this type of guitar.
 
I want to like it.

But too much blue. My instinct is to sand the neck (for feel) and headstock (for aesthetics) and do a refret (aesthetic). So basically, I'd just replace the neck. Which I wouldn't do. So. Shame, because I do kinda like it.
 
My feelings are a combo of @Chad 's and @Tiltsta 's. Other than that, I would be open. the open slats make it look like there is a speaker in there like that one dude with the hot glue. That should go.
