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 ...
Furtheron,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to come and say hello. While I see you all about the internet I have taken no time to get to know you. I was wondering why? My conclusion: I listen to very little music (I know, I know.... crazy) I just wanted you to know that I have read through your blog a bit and have enjoyed learning of you. I have read your comments on others' blogs as well and appreciate your no-nonsense approach to recovery. Refreshing and affirming. Lisa
