Guitar mashups!

Dord · 04-04-2010 12:33am #1

I love these new ones! vintage looks but a new guitar..

The "Telemaster" (Esquire/Tele meets a Jazzmaster)

Also, "La Cabronita Especial" (the special little b**ch)

(gretsch meets esquire)

I found another one earlier... not sure who made it though. It looks like a mashup between a Danelectro and a Telecaster. Very nice if I do say so! :cool:

Any more out there?

That Telemaster has been out a while, looks good but the price, not so much. Its only available through the custom shop and comes in at around $6000!! :O
The La Cabronita Especial is really nice, cant beat a set of tv jones pups.

The telemaster looks sweet, personally I'd add a single coil pup at the neck position. Six f***ing grand though? You could probably make it yourself!

The Telemaster already has a single coil at the bridge.

It has one of those too.

Stealth pickups! There are two single coils hidden under the pickguard.

I plan on doing just that!

Have to get the money first though, only just finished a my take on a Telecaster Deluxe!! :rolleyes:

What I'd like is a Telecaster with Jazzmaster pickups and vibrato...

...Actually, I think one of the reasons that I love my tele so much is that it doesn't have vibrato... Hmm... :rolleyes:

Cool guitars here though

Roll eyes usage is through the roof on this thread!

Just realised... Is that not awful placement for the output on a V? You couldn't put your knee in the middle if you wanted to sit down.

No idea. Im trying to find out so I can see if it has a Flying V or Tele headstock.

Didnt notice it till you pointed it out. Ah well, if I ever got my hands on it I'd replace the tone knob with a second jack for sitting down

the first picture reminds me... why would anyone pay for a "road-worn" version of a guitar. it looks hella cool, sure, but it often costs more than a normal looking one, for what? a bit of sanding and making chips in the finish & headstock with a screwdriver? i can do that at home if i want to

i was in musicmaker yesterday they had a roadworn strat that i tried. the back of the neck had its finish completely sanded! not only does that defeat the purpose of road wearing by looking like sh*t, but it's also extremely impractical and makes the neck a pain to work with
