The Jim Root Teles have a mahagony body, which is quite interesting if you ask me. Would love to take the black one with the maple board for a test ride... But I fear, I couldn't resist buying it.
My Tele is all maple with a silver body, white pickguard, chrome hardware and black inlays --> pretty damn sexy.
I wouldn't have touched a Tele even 5 years ago.. Now, I love em.
