Hi
I know not everyone likes them but...
Idle thought really but could be of interest. Snake head neck as an option for a S type could be an option?

Custom order neck with three aside paddle, shape and drill the holes yourself?
Hi
of course
Could also get a plain body and rout the controls etc but then you have to find the control plate and pick guard etc.
My next would be a sort of Ibanez A series style which would be a bit between the Ibanez styles Pit bull currently offer - that would be a custom job I think.
Lots of options - not enough time.

That's prototype No.1.Quote:

Hi Dave
That's the 60th anniversary release. I'm building a pretty standard Tele so this wouldn't be on my list for now but there is interest on the net in these as a kit option.
I agree I'm not sure about the head shape but as you said that makes the world an interesting place

G'day Dave,
I don't follow what is being released these days, the last new Tele I played was the FMH flamed maple top and twin buckers through a Princeton and a little Vox I couldn't find a tone I liked so it stayed in the shop.
The Snakes Head design is probably just taken from the 3 a side lap steels they were making at the time, no idea what the bridge is like because the only pic I have of it has a very rudimentary cover over the bridge and pickup.
The reason the Tele bridge pup is angled is because it was taken from a lap steel which was too wide for the string spacing we know and love
I still need a Tele with a P90 at the neck and maybe an Esquire.
I have posted here in the past that I am building a carbon fibre Tele style 12 string ( an ex F1 fabricator is doing the CF stuff )
Very interesting!Quote:
