Thread: Baby Blue

    Baby Blue

    For reasons unknown even to myself, I wanted a 3/4 or 1/2 scale Tele to go with my "Blue Max" Full size TL-1.

    No mini Tele's available these days to repaint/modify as far as I could tell?
    So I bought a mini "toy" Strat with a 510mm scale length (see pic 1) and off I went on what (of course) turned into a mission.
    Long story short - heaps of cutting, filetting, shaping, rewiring & fabricating.
    I think the photos tell the story best - right through to the finished guitar next to his big brother.

    Anyway - here it is . . .

    The latter, plus for the wall as I rarely try to play . . .
    Maybe the "Blues Brothers" worked on me subliminally?
