Title: For fans of teles and/or Vs

I actually like it, and I'm not a flying V fan but the colour and the bridge work for me.  Anyone else got a cool hybrid?

That's not too bad actually!

Would look so much better if it was a standard tele shape though  :D

I actually have a couple. First there's Andrew W's Telemaster (now a TV Master):

Then there's the most recent addition WezV Stratele. More a Strat with added Teleness. Sounds like both really impressively (which was what we were trying to achieve):

I really like those RS Guitar Works Tele/V hybrids.  And the Telemaster.  And the Strat/Tele hybrids!

I'm also a big fan of Fano guitars, all their designs are basically crossbreeds of vintage Gibsons and Fenders, with a bit of Gretsch thrown in.  I'd love to buy one, but they do carry a hefty price tag. 

My favourite is the SP6, which is a cross between a Tele and a Les Paul Special (and what, frankly, could be better than that??)

The Fano's are great and cool guitars, they ring like a bell. Indeed, not cheap.

Love that Fano, very, very cool. As well as the Mk I Telemaster (now owned and upgraded by JuanSolo) I also have the Mk II with A PowerTron in the bridge and two Mother's Milk pickups in the middle and neck positions:

Me too. Shame that they're so damn expensive for knobs... £6.50 for ONE knob!

I was thinking that. :lol:  But then I thought, cool though they are, do I really want to associate guitars and firearms?

Perhaps that's taking it too seriously.....

I'm loving that V, perfect colour choice to go with the aged binding too! Also really digging the Tele-Paul with the Remington knobs!

I think it was Mr Nugent that once said "my guns are like my guitars. They're both made of wood and put food on the table"

Who makes that TeleV, or is it just a warmoth style home build?

I really like that. Should give me the inspiration to finish my tele body off - natural finish for me on it I think. I even got it out from under the bed yesterday (yes, I do this as well) and made some markings on it as to where I next need to route.

Dave had a great Fano. Well, great to look at - I just couldn't get on with the neck for some reason.

I liked the neck, from what I remember.

Coincidentally, is this Dave's old Fano on eBay?

It certainly looks like it - not sure how many models there were with that colour spec.

I don't think it's my old one, no.  Mine had an Alder body (not swamp ash) and was more relic'd.

The Explorer/Tele looked cool, but the V looks much better IMO.
