Double Cut Tele

[bigguspickus]

This would be kinda cool.

I'm with ya as to double cutaways; the max-coverage pickguard, not so much.  Nice PhotoChop.

wow (in an ugly way)

 

[Paul-less]

I'm digging the max-coverage pickguard. Make the pickguard out of clear acrylic, with one of those weird wire holes in the body to the neck puppy, make the body out of Mahogany or Rosewood, and call it a day.

 

[TonyFlyingSquirrel]

Um, no...

 

[Paul-less]

Um, no...

Don't worry, we'll make a model with a floyd, twin EMG's, a kill-toggle, and a pointy headstock. Then you can play too!

Meh.
The pickguard needlessly covers the upper horn, and it's too symmetrical looking.

 

[bigguspickus]

Needlessly covers the upper horn? You're not strumming hard enough.

It is really symmetrical though. If someone were to build this, they'd need to get a "snakehead tele" neck with 3+3 tuners, and a bridge cover to hide the slanted bridge pickup, so it would be like a mirror image... other than the control plate and string gauge differences.

Absolutely no way on putting a disgusting ashtray on the bridge! I'll find out where you live and destroy the guitar while you're at work, and then sue you for raping my eyes with the hideousness. :tard:

Go with a humbucker rather than a single coil bridge pickup. Also, as with all guitars, it needs a Floyd.

Better yet, I'll make a blank "dummy" control plate for the other side...

and get a set of all plain steel Nashville Tuning strings! Total symmetry will be achieved!!!

Are you going to give it two tremolo arms and double straplocks with a jack on both sides? :blob7:

 

[JaySwear]

it needs a Squier 51-style pickguard for the top side!

 

[bigguspickus]

Tremolos are for the weak fingered. But I will flatten the other side and add an auxiliary jack. Then I can play through 2 amps at once! :guitarplayer2: :guitarplayer2:

You bend the strings with your frettin' hand not a wang bar.

You can only bend them up in pitch, and it's difficult to bend harmonics.

That's  what the upper horn is for. Right hand on upper horn, left hand close to nut, and wank away.

 

[OzziePete]

"horns", "wangers", "left hand close to nut","wanking away"..........just what EXACTLY are we discussing here gentlemen?  :icon_scratch:  :laughing7:

Wow.  You don't like it?  :icon_scratch:    LOL

Seriously though, it works for Barry Gibb.
