Since everything is hand-made to order, I'm guessing they aren't cheap. Dave Pura (wonder if there's any relation ;) ) of the Wheat Monkeys (http://www.wheatmonkeys.com) was playing a couple of Godfather hollowbodies through a Messa Triple Rectifier and 2x12 cab... man it sounded SWEET! That might just be my next guitar (shhhh! Don't tell my wife :D ). He also had that Tele Custom looking one.

I recognize a few of the names on the artists page, many well respected local musicians so I'd trust their endorsements. I'll drop by for a visit the next time I'm in Saskatoon - kind of a "man-on-the-scene" or "roving reporter" for theFret!

My fellow Fretters need to place their orders. Maybe I can get a deal on a Godfather for spreading the word world-wide :D

Coincidently there is a Pura Tele on Kijiji right now - oh, so tempting ;) SEE IT HERE (http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-Pura-Custom-Built-Tele-W0QQAdIdZ89811262) (No endorsement or relation to the seller - just posting it for general info)

Swing by the Fret Players section for a proper intro and tell us about yourself and your Pura (and any other gear you have).
