Hybrid Shape Shifter Tele on the way
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 ...
Excellent!
