There's not a lot out there about Ken. You can see that he made at least three Teles for John 5. You can find some build photos on mylespaul.com
It's an impressive guitar. It compares well against all the boutique builders whose guitars I've tried: Kirn, Nash, Friedman, Grover Jackson, K Line, Knaggs.

That surely is a beautiful thing. With the neck through design, bridge humbucker, and neck P-90, I'd expect some very unTele-like tones out of this beast. More like what New Schon was going for around the ESC4P3 era with the black Les Paul, with beef and power at the bridge and single coil bite and snap at the neck.

Is that actually a humbucker in a P-90 cover in the bridge position?

And who is the guy playing it onstage with Slash?

We need more info! :D

@toomanycats that's https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Bobby_Schneck

I was told this was his guitar. In it's current state, it's got a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge. Lollar in the neck.
