  • Not my thing. However, what I think shouldn't be relevant... if it speaks to you - answer the call.

    Yes!

    If you described it I would think no, but it does actually work. It has one of the nicest non-Fender headstocks too. I still wouldn't own it, but not because I think it's ugly - I just don't like Floyds.

    It would look even better with a chrome bridge pickup surround. And the volume control is still in the wrong place - even 3/8" further back on the plate would make all the difference... I just find it too close on a Tele.

    Yeah, kinda works. Agree with ICBM on the volume location (to the point I have a custom plate on my Tele with that exact mod)

    I'd rather it was contoured than bound, but it's still rather "fuck yeah" in execution, despite not being "me" in any way!

    So it's got:

    a pacifica headstock to upset the gear snobs
    a tele body to piss off the 80s shredders
    a locking nut to frustrate the tele players
    a floyd rose to disappoint most over 15s
    zebra striped humbuckers to disappoint the les paul fans
    a cherryburst to upset fender fans
    overall it looks like it'll upset the musicman wolfgang fans

    about all they've missed is relicing and a variax - other than that it's going to start a bit of a flame war to decide who has the right to be most incensed by it.


    A sig-nat-eur? What am I meant to use this for ffs?! Is this thing recording?

    1. Would you care if I didn't?
    2. Not exactly. The tele body shape never appealed to me, I don't like the control layout, and I don't as a rule go for wang-bars. So no, not really. The finish would be nice if not spoilt by the scratchplate.

  • I wholeheartedly approve, so long as the wood has been dried sufficiently so that it burns nice and slowly.

    Lovely looking guitar, I think the Headstock and Trem, really set it off. I would definately own one

    Not for me but then I am not a Floyd/locking nut type bloke so I am obviously the wrong market.

    If you like it more power to you.

    lol @frankus They could have put a Bigsby on it just to make it even more divisive ;)

    Excellent stuff. Floods get way to much shit, generally from people who don't know how to use them.

  • wow @equalsql Not sure I actually like it, 'cos its a mix of 2 guitars i don't really like, but it's a VERY GOOD mix, you couldn't do better if you'd got them to breed.

    Absolutely horrible. It looks like one of those awful cheap Ricky copies that aren't quite right.

    That won't save the maker from the wrath of Rickenbacker either - there are at least three trademarked features in it. (Whether or not you agree they should be.)

    I love Rickenbackers and Telecasters, but that thing is like if someone genetically mixed up Halle Berry and Marilyn Monroe and ended up with Nicky Minaj. It's got the right bits in roughly the right places but the overall result is revolting!

    I had way too much time on my hands at work yesterday, so I fantasized about buying it. And I think I would if I had the money...
