Very unusual non-Fender relic!

Can't decide if I like this or not  :o

Deja Vu?

I'm sure this has cropped up somewhere on here before, and i'm pretty sure i was undecided then.

Hummm it came some time ago... hunter made the thread... I really dislike it... :?

[Twinfan]

I thought I'd seen it before too, but couldn't think where!

Sorry guys  :oops:

ok, i have a question (unless i'm missing something)... why the all-access neck plate, if the actual joint/wood isn't all-access?

Although you can't really see it in that pic, the corner of the heel is rounded off.  I think it's a really neat design, better than the Warmoth-style contoured heel, because it's really only that corner that obstructs your hand.

I have that type of neckplate on my two Teles:

He is right, in this pic you can see it:


Phill, the Warmoth can do it on their W Pro design because the screw is right above the side adjuster :?

You mean they can't do it, Fernando?  Yeah, I saw it on the Warmoth site. 

Not a problem with my Strat bodies, they both have standard Fender-style heels, so I could still get a Warmoth Pro neck.

[FernandoDuarte]

Yeah misstype it :D

I like it a lot, also the headstock, but the price ....  :x

Aaargh, It makes my eyes go funny and my head spin :D

Like looking in one of those funny mirrors at a fairground.

Actually it reminds me more than anything of those old Telecaster basses for some reason.

Certainly a conversation starter though :)

I really like it. I've often wandered about this style of guitar but never seen one til now!

[HTH AMPS]

I like it, especially the aluminium bridge saddle on the E and A strings for more twang and the brass bridge saddles on the D, G, B and high-E strings for less attack, nice touch.

thanks philly, you're right (as usual), it shows up well in that pic which fernando posted as well :)

I must admit, I love it :D

I've been reading about that bridge mod for teles on the TDPRI form - have you tried it? I've been wondering whether I'd like it (mine's all brass at the moment)...
