    Tele-Gretscher/Gretschocaster?

    This is probably in the "too difficult" basket but thought I would ask anyway.
    I really really need one of these because I don't have one already.
    What are the chances?

    not sure if the ones in your pics have an arched top but other than that all that's missing from the thin line is an extra F hole

    Yeah, I had a look at that but seems like a very different guitar. from what I can see they are arched top and back, hollowbody with a set neck. has more in common with the GR-1SF kit than with the thinline, would be way beyond my skill set to try some sort of conversion.

    that's interesting, I've not seen them before. I'm a huge Gretsch fan and a tele owner, still not sure about this one though. Would love to hear one

    Looks nice! I did the TL-1TB and the only thing the f hole really does is make the guitar lighter but it is still a hard guitar to put down.

    You could always do the TL-1TB like Fuzzy's and drop in some Filtertrons or TV Jones PUP's to get somewhere near the same effect for way less coin than what those things might cost.

    I'm in love with the orange flame maple and dice.
