Title: Huh nice Geeetahr (GAS)
Post by: hunter on September 17, 2008, 04:09:18 PM

Surely is polarising, but I find the approach "new" somehow:

I like it!  Not too sure about the Tele-meets-Tyler headstock, but other than that I like it a lot.

Same here... I do like it, possibly even the headstock, in a Max Headroom sort of way...
I'd have to see it in the flesh though.

I've seen strats with tele necks on, and vice versa, and always thought "Er...??!".

But a strat body with tele furniture - yeah!!! Why has it never crossed my mind before?

Could this be the Roo-tele?? *gasp*
Actually no, it's still got the control plate he loves, hasn't it :lol:

Yet another "let's take everything that sucks and put it on one guitar" approach. It isn't even cool in a cheesy way like Gretches, it's just downright .... Fender-like.

I struggled for quite a while to find something appealing about it, and I see they have sculpted the heel a little bit. That's good. Don't say I'm never postive.

That's Fender-like too.  It's pretty much the same heel/plate they have on American Deluxe Strats and Teles.

i really like it but one thing i am finding really jarring is the edge radius - tele like on the bottom and strat like on the top.  sounds fun and clever, possibly it is a nice touch. 

to me it makes the tele horn look fatter than the strat one and seems out of proportion.  its not so noticeable on the guitar above or the sunburst one but the blue one in the link looks odd and the backs of most of them look odd to me because of it

I know. I'm just saying it's something that could have been worse.

Reminds me of an Ernie Ball Musicman for some reason!

I would have preferred more sculpting to the heel and to not have the cold metal plate there, where my hands are going to be at some point, but overall very nice.

These caught my eye:

I wouldn't give you 20 quid for it. The only good thing I have to say about it is "at least it doesn't have the bulbous top horn". While that's essentially a compliment, nothing about that guitar looks good.

How you can GAS for something like that is just beyond me!! It's like GASing for socks and sandals!

I actually really like that! All it needs is a middle pickup.

I havea lefty tele bridge in my '62 Jap Tele custom.  This looks a bit weird with the strat body shape on the top and tele at the bottom, neither fish nor fowl (though I am leaning towards foul on this one  :P)
