Franken-Tele??

January 13, 2009 on 10:45 pm | In Uncategorized |

So I completed my latest guitar project. This guitar can be described as a Fender Telecaster body with a Stratocaster neck. The look, balance and feel of a good Strat (without that God-awful horn). The good news is… It’s loaded with Gibson pickups! So it sounds like an SG. The parts came from distributors all over the place. The body was cut and painted in Illinois, the neck was made in Bradenton Beach, Florida, and the pickups I bought second hand from a guy that did not know what he had. My friendly neighbor helped me with some drilling and routing. Several folks offered advice on proper wiring and grounding. Many, many thanks. And yes, It plays and sounds great.

  1. “God-awful horn”!!!! If the Fender Stratocaster affectionately known as “The Pooper” heard you say that it would be depressed for a month, LOL. The Tele looks great. Can’t wait to hear it shred.
