Open G tuning makes Keith Richards licks a must
Yes the inlays on the front of the narrow necked beauty are laid out like a bluegrass instrument - 10th inlay instead of 9th
We had a special 5 string hardtail bridge made just for this guitar
Oil City pickups made us some special 5 polepiece pickups with coil taps to go between a tele sound to a more P90-ish sound. These will have custom cut flatwork inside an open fronted humbucker shell.

Wasn't cheap in the end but was a tidy way to do it

Lovely work again.
The workmanship, weights, playability and resonance of these things are superb and whilst I really like the Lions, those Lion Cubs are pretty special.
Great guy, great guitars and good company, too. Nice chatting and catching up, Jonathan and cheers for sorting out my pedalboard.

Or just needed a new neck and that's what was available ?
.
Russ' strat neck had a hole drilled in the headstock too and this made it split when it was dropped on tour some time in the 1970s. They found him a neck to replace the broken one and it happened to be a tele one. There wasn't anything more cunning than that , although it may be that he liked the feel of the neck.
