Steve Haynie Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It has all been done by different builders over the years. RS Guitarworks has already done something like that. Does anyone remember the Telecaster and Flying V mash up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamerhead Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Kinda like the JagStrat, in a clusterf**k sorta way. But not $2K worth of like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Firebird mini/tele pickup combination works so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie G. Moseley Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 OK, the bass is attractive (YMMV) and is described as having a "'63 C" profile/"an American Vintage “ ’63 P Bass”-shaped profile, along with a modern 9.5”-radius fingerboard." '63 P-Basses would have had a neck profile that was slimmer than the mid-'50s transitional P-Basses (but still thicker than Jazz Bass necks), right? I've always like the mid-'50s look but the necks were too chunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I built a P-Bass recently with a J-Bass neck profile. Getting the best of both worlds there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomteriffic Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 That Jaguar/Strat looks as much like a Bass 6 as anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy p Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 None of those were completely laughable, and they are half (or less) than the price of the Gibson Atrocities series so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other Strat/Tele variations have been done for almost forty years by Leo Fender’s last company, and reunion with his first partner and guitar designer George Fullerton at G & L. I think that's a classic take on the TLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugartune Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Some are cool, some are not my cup of dirt.... I love the Troublemaker (Ice Metallic, woo! That is cool), the Thinline Super Deluxe (Orange AND with TV Jones!?!?) and the Jazz Telecaster (Surf Green, please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black magic Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I really like the Troublemaker Tele but wrong scale length and price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a good Tele neck (chunky and small radius) and building the rest of it (with the help of friend of mine who has all the right tools) is still in my backlog. Maybe this year.

Tortious Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I do like this one... But, for $2k, they could have blacked out the headstock and done an inlaid pearl logo. And made an arched top. The pickguard is annoying too. Hopefully it will be trashed by the TGP types and Adorama will be dumping them for $1200 by October. I'd be all over that, even with the wrong scale length.

That's the view overlooking the Potomac river about a mile or two north of Georgetown/DC from the VA side. I was driving back from picking the bass up in Arlington from The Maestro, Greg K. at Metro Guitar, and it was a perfect fall day, so I had to grab a pic.
