For sale is a hot
rodded, custom hybrid telecaster style guitar, telecaster body shape,
with strat control cavity and CNC’d arm/belly cuts
Custom made ash body,
several layers of stain, multiple coats of matte 2k automotive clearcoat. I
burn the grain so it is very pronounced under the stain, every single guitar is
unique. I am a player and I set these up for standing and sitting. The finish
wraps into the grain in a very cool way.
Because I like high
output pickups, I went with the GFS Crunchy Rail set, with a KWIK plug coil
splitting harness… Resistance is Bridge – 16.2k / neck – 10.4k. I love the crunch
and sustain they get with little to no volume, even through headphones. The ash
body helps with that too.
To get the most out of
them I have a kwik plug 3 position switching harness with a coil splitting tone
control.
Positions
are:
1. Neck humbucker
2. Bridge and neck
3. Bridge humbucker
I also have wired in a matching red ‘kill switch’ with a momentary push button, perfect for that ‘stutter
sound’
I used a Floyd Rose
Special vibe RED anodized double locking tremolo with matching R3 nut.
A Warmoth 10-16"
compound radius maple neck, with a maple fretboard, is easy to play and I have
strung it with a 10-46 EB slinky set. I have the action set low (just where it
doesn't buzz), so you may need to perform a minor adjustment for your playing.

This is designed to be

As you can see from
the photos, this has a great “WOW FACTOR”. It’s very pretty with contrasting
hardware/neck/body colors.
I always use
elliptical strap pins, that lock in the end of the strap when in standing
position.
Again, I always
include a padded gig bag, a strap, and some of my shop logo picks in
a screw top tin..
I will ship UPS ground
insured for the full amount in a heavy duty, guitar specific, box to the lower
48 states, for AK or HI, ask me about shipping. Also message me if your
location might be excluded. I will need to get shipping quotes for you. I have
shipped to several overseas countries in the past. It is just too difficult to
estimate these costs ahead of time.
I do this for fun, and
to cover the costs to be able donate one or more guitars per year to charity,
Guitars for Vets. I would encourage you to donate any 'working' guitars, you do
not use, to your local chapter. You can also make small donations on eBay when
you make purchases. Helps with veteran suicide prevention.
Everyone who has
bought one of my builds has been extremely happy. I’ve even done custom orders
as far away as Norway.
A couple of my sales
garnered reviews that I normally only get through emails

Don't know if you are
still on this site but just wanted to say thanks again for the custom strat.
She gets plenty of use and is my main go to player. I might have better
"case queens" but that strat just flat out rocks. I use it at all my
gigs. Peace!

Super great seller!
This is a smart take on the classic Esquire formula: push-style knob gets you
the treble-centric tones, and also a terrific humbucker flavor that is not
muddy like Esquires can be. I would say this is instantly one of my favorite
guitars! Hope to deal with you again.
