Wezo-sonic
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:26:19 PM »
another one done!







Not quite like anything fender ever released - but obviously its based on the duo-sonic/mustang/music-master kinda thing

i am actually really liking the 24" scale on this.  I think being a strung through body hardtail bridge helps a lot with that

was really aiming for the 70's vibe on this - but the colour did cause me a few issues getting a shade i was actually happy with

its unintentionally ended up a bit like this:

Nice work as always!

Whenever I see it, I do like the idea of Tele saddles on a Strat-style hardtail bridge.  I must try it sometime.

this was a squier duo-sonic bridge, modded for string through.   the compensated tele saddles work perfectly on it

I like the look of this Glendale bridge.  Pricey though...

yeah, this was a fraction of the price and works equally well, obviously it still has the option of using it as a toploader but i never even considered stringing it that way


the cut down tele bridge used on the recent stratele was also a reasonably cheap way to get that kind of thing without paying glendale prices

It looks very nice, what pickups did you put in it?

They look like Irish Tours to me, possibly with a baseplate on the bridge pickup

Irish tours with a baseplate on the bridge pickup, how did gwem guess that ;)  


i am enjoying it, its a lot less flimsy feeling than the average fender offset.  just a good solid workhorse - might do one for myself if i get around to it

it also has a phase switch which i dont like with these pickups, might make more sense as a tone preset switch or something like that.


i am hoping the next one i post finished in my current productive streak will be the double neck - should be able to get that buffed up in the next month or so ready for assembly.  it is looking rather special
