This guitar was built with an extremely high level of craftsmanship and with high quality parts by our good friend in Nashville, Tennessee. It has the best of both worlds - Telecaster electronics and a Stratocaster body shape and feel - and superb playability. The neck profile is chunky and a V shape from the first fret to the fifth fret and then tapers to a U shape. The fret work and set up work are impeccable. The string through body construction is great for sustain and makes changing strings easy. The pickguard shows some light pick scratches, but the guitar is overall very clean and ready for a great new home. An all around incredible utility instrument with a very unique look. A gem of a guitar shipped out safely and promptly from our little shop here in Clarksville, Tennessee, to your front door.
