    I don't like them.

    I'm happy for others to like them though.

    That Telecaster looks truly awful.

    Looks OK to me. I think it's way better than those neck only things!

    I was thinking that it would make a nice travel guitar.

    I can't see any truss rod, it's obviously through neck.

    I've seen other Sankey Guitars with the truss rod adjuster in the heel, like old 1950's Fenders.

    Couldn't he put a 1950's Fender style one in backwards, so it had a screwdriver adjustment at the severed head end?

    Makes sense to me, or do they not work like that?

  • This mish-mash of eras is pretty neat, in it's own way:

    Nice, but that needs some thrust washers on the tuners or they get hard to turn.:)

    I find the whole thing degrading. From a battle axe to a machete, to be specific. Will it cut better in the mix?
