Micawber - Replica

[ragamuffin]

So was this thing ever made or just an AI troll? My brother in law is looking for a Micawber inspired build. It’ll be shiny and new of course. Any help or details on what he would need for the build.

Here’s what I found.

• Neck: Birdseye maple neck with a 12" radius, 22 frets, and medium-high fret wire
  Body: Poplar tonewood body with a vintage crème finish
• Bridge: Brass bridge
• Pickups: A '50s Gibson PAF humbucker in the neck position.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that:
-The original would not have a 12" fretboard radius as it was a 1954 tele. I'm not sure though if it would be 7.25" or 9", but this is a detail that should be up to the player anyways unless you're trying to make perfect historic replica, so 12" should be fine if that's what he wants.
-The original body was swamp ash with a butterscotch blonde finish, again up to you though

The brass bridge might be hard to source. Armadillo Guitars makes a really nice one, but they are not taking orders at the moment due to backlog

I'm pretty sure Forney Custom made a brass tele bridge in the past, but I don't see it on their shop right now, you might reach out to them https://reverb.com/brand/forney-custom?product_type=parts&category=guitar-parts
