De-horned Tele?

[tiger_fish]

The lower horn on a Tele does nothing, so why not get rid of it? Follow the pickguard outline, save a few OZ in weight and provide even easier upper fret access. Novax and other builders do similar things  and they look great.

It keeps the guitar from falling off your leg when you're sitting...

If you're gonna do that then you might as well buy one them ugly ass Danelectro's. My appologies to DE fans but they are just gay....

Unless maybe if you put a Floyd on it... :icon_biggrin:

You go do whatever you want to do, but if you change the shape, why would you still call it a Tele?

Ugh, you have the worst taste ever, Doug!    For any given guitar, either you like it or I like it, but not both.
