I'm building a new guitar. So three things influenced this one. A hybrid tele / Strat body I saw, an interesting neck and particularly an interesting electronics option. Here are the bits as arrived. The body is a telecaster shape, telecaster neck pocket, telecaster control cavity but routed for 3 Strat pickups and a Strat style vibrato bridge. The control cavity makes it different to many hybrid Telecasters a la the John Mayer model which have a more Strat like control cavity. The body was advertised as "mahogany" it's quite red in nature but nice looks to be two piece centre jointed. The neck is mahogany with a maple fingerboard and a maple skunk strip. So a bit reverse look from normal. Electronically I'm going with three Strat pickups from Tonerider, having used there nashville set in the nashville tele conversion I did I was impressed. Five way switch master volume and tone. But I'm putting in a shape shifter switch ...
Ouch. Another small word!

ReplyDeleteThanks all for the comments. Just to clarify my situation has much less to do with the financial turmoil the banking crisis has created and much more to do with the industry I'm in (Pharmaceutical R&D) and my particular company's previous performance and long term prospects.
