I am assuming it's a one-off, though. If someone's making and marketing them, then I think they're crazy f@ckers - even the people that "like" it (like me) are unlikely to actually buy it :lol:

Absolutely, I wouldn't dream of buying it!

Except maybe like Ben said, as a piece of "art" - and I haven't got that kind of money.

fender hybrids are so in this year ;)   maybe not that one though.  i am also intrigued by the mechanics of it rather  but i cant imagine many wanting to play it

actually i do have another fender hybrid on the go myself -  a subtle blend of duo-sonic 1 and duo-sonic 2 :D

However, the body hybrid of strat and tele shape is big win for me!

Fender hybrids are a lot of fun, they do lend themselves to some cool mods.  I still like the look of those Pawn Shop models, I wonder how long they'll be available?

I have a Warmoth hybrid which might be interesting if I ever get round to making it ( :roll: ).  It's a typical swamp ash body, maple neck and rosewood board - but LP Jr shape (inspired by Fano guitars, basically).  I was originally going to put a Tele control plate on it, but now I'm thinking of making it more like a Tele Deluxe.

It's... interesting?

Yeah, that sums up my thoughts too!

I'm intrigued by how they did the practical details like cutting the bridges in half, and that half-Strat, half-Tele bridge pickup.  Do you think the trem actually works?

Took me a while to notice the tiered headstock - that's rather neat.

Well done Cheggers, he looks pleased with himself.  :wink:

That is uglier than both the reverse V and the reverse explorer put together.

God awful creation
