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 ...
Fantastic. So glad you posted this. What are you playing there and what's it plugged into?
ReplyDeleteMy PRS CE22 - used that as needs a humbucker sound and a vibrato.
DeleteThrough a Boss Chorus - on all the time.
Into my Hughes and Ketner Dual 6L6 2x12 combo - great amp. But... bloody heavy. I'm thinking of getting rid of it and something a little more versatile and portable, although the Dual sounds just great!
That was pretty good, I was diggin' it. Was that one gal in the front playing with her phone the whole time though?
ReplyDeleteShe had the lyrics on her phone! What is the younger generation coming to eh?
DeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteToo bad that talented people need to eat and feed the family as well imagine what one can do if life's duties did not get in the way.
It's difficult to get the real feel for the music, it sounded very "tinny" on my home computer seup.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. It seemed like you had fun.
