Years ago I looked into this and found that the pinstripe artist that was doing this was in Birmingham, Alabama. No way to know if the examples that Tallman is selling are from the same artist, but the style is dead on the same.
This was the artist:

It’s a terrible idea, but that never stops any of us. I say go for it.I’m still wondering if it’s a good idea to get a vintage white Jet, put Dynasonics in it, bar bridge with a thin base, change the b50 for a v b3, maybe have to add a tension bar…. As I wrote this I realised no, it’s not a good idea.
In a music shop. Authorised Fender/Gretsch dealer. I tried a few hollows and some Jets.What exactly did you try? Where?
