Anybody used this body shape?

[Miskatonic]

I basically just mirrored the top half of the Tele for a symmetrical body.

 

[Kostas]

Gibson had a guitar with a similar body.

 

[whitebison66]

Ibanez had something similar too, I recall Shawn Lane playing one. Ghostrider or something like that...

 

[line6man]

Yeah, that shape is familiar.

 

[Jeremiah]

Wasn't the Fender TC90 basically a symmetrical double cutaway Tele?

There are a few of those on TDPRI, and our own CB mocked one up here before, I think a few others have as well.

For the guitar player who's confused about his laterality?

ESP had the hybrid for a minute or two, that's all I remember in recent years.

I just thought it would make a cool shape for a potential future build. I mocked it up on the Warmoth site.

Model - Custom

Construction Solid/Flat Top

Woods - Core wood - ? (Whatever compliments a maple/maple neck)

Control Cavity - Rear rout

Pickup Rout - HXH (Would use burnt chrome pickup covers that BK pickups offers)

Control Routing - Stratocaster - Tone/Tone/5 way (Wanted space between nobs and bridge/pickups, hence no third hole for initial volume location) - Chrome nobs

Bridge Routing - Wilkinson Tremolo - chrome or black chrome (Hardtail also a possibility)

Input jack - 3/4"

Binding - White on top and bottom

Finish - Black Satin

I'd use a maple/maple neck with the Warhead headstock shape, black dots and black chrome tuners.

Didn't mess around with any of the contours offered.

I actually like the idea, I was just making fun of the double controls.

 

[m4rk0]

somehow I am not a fan of guitars that are too symmetric...

Lol, you never know, there probably is a guitar with double controls out there already.  :icon_biggrin:

Yeah those don't really do anything for me either.
