Is it just me,  or the light, or the angle of the photo, Johnathan, or are the edges on that really broadly radiused? Not that that's a bad thing at all, you understand.

It looks to me like it has Strat radius and contouring, but with Roo's favourite Tele-like "bulbous bit at the top".  :wink:


There's a Fender Custom Shop model with a more Tele-like radius.  It's nice, but I think the more Strat-like Feline/Suhr version looks better:

I've seen this Fender Custom Shop before... I pics I saw of it made me think: "Ok, the price is of a custom shop, but the look is of a MIM or Squier"... The finish doesn't look good, parts, etc... I don't like it...

I like the teles with 3 single but without pickguard, those are ace!

Not that dull finish and look of the "CS" :lol:

Looks great!  :D

But I can't decide if I'd prefer it with a Tele headstock....

The one we have still in production does have a more strat-like radius to it .
The previous one was a bit squarer on the edges.
The new one will be alder whilst the previous was swamp ash- we had it reviewed and it got a great write up - actually scored better than the Fender custom shop one did :lol:

Our cutaway is altered to be the same as a strat so a stock pickguard will fit nicely.
Also we have an all access heel on it for easier top fret access

Just to bug PhillyQ (and show how I like the hybrid):


From a guy from Warmoth forum...
I just don't think the Tele control cavit/plate works best, would be rear routed on one mine...

Big improvement having that bridge over the original piece of shite Tele style, it looks great.

Lovely piece of swamp ash! 

I still prefer the slightly more Strat shape of the Feline... agreed about the Tele control cavity if he's not using a scratchplate, but I don't like rear routing on a Strat or Tele.  I'd have the Strat scratchplate and a hardtail bridge.

Anyway, I like these hybrids but I'm not getting one any time soon.  I might put a couple of Strat pickups on one of my Teles, though.

cough If Feline invites you to go have a tea on his shop this pretty much can fall apart :lol:

But you could allege that he's taking advantage of your (ours?) addiction :lol: Would be pretty much spot on :D

I recently posted this, and I know some may not like it.... but this is fast becoming my go to guitar due to the comfort, balance, feel and sound.  I love this one.....
