"Mark Lettieri"
Road Worn Series
The Artist "T" was made for Mark Lettieri
-
This one was a sweet lady who found the blues ! My inspiration for this guitar comes from the decal on the pickguard ! Yes that's the way to do it build an entire guitar around a picture ! She sounds like a dream, 6 way switching, deep blues to Tele twang. I finished a Tele body for a guy in this faded aged Lake Placid Blue, there and then decided I would build with this finish... so put the angel decal together with the body finish and this is what happened. My Fallen Angel.

My California Artist Signature...
"Michael Couling at California Artist Guitars makes some incredible, vintage inspired instruments. He has a knack for matching
the right neck wood with the right body wood, as evidenced by the "Angel" T that I play. It's a rock-solid build that fits like a glove.
It's really a work of art. The tone is unreal – and very flexible - and the neck is a perfect fit.
The blue is perfect man, the rosewood neck is great and the guitar really "spoke" to me."
