Members live-I-evil Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Pretty, but I still prefer this one: and mine's almost through being built. Just waiting on the neck, a 30" conversion neck. That's right, making it a Bajo Sexto tele. Bam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members warioblast Posted February 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 {censored} that is hot. How much? Ask the custom shop for a quote. I'm guessing something like 4 or 5K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Pretty, but I still prefer this one: This one I have seen before, and thought it was quite nice. MIJ, and about $2k IIRC. Not quite as Gretsched out, but still delivers the flavor of a Falcon or Penguin while staying a bit truer to the original Tele Thinlines. I like it a lot too, but I'm not sure if I'd say I like it "better." and mine's almost through being built. Just waiting on the neck, a 30" conversion neck. That's right, making it a Bajo Sexto tele. Bam. BAM! Indeed. Can you post pics of it when it's finished please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members d4rk0 Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 is this a custom build by someone not working for Fender? or is it some CS dealio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frenchji Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Is it really called the white chicken?? Haha! That's so awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 is this a custom build by someone not working for Fender? or is it some CS dealio? Like I said, I suspect the Chicken is a Custom Shop one-off, or maybe a limited CS build of a few dozen or something like that. The bench views in the background look like Fender Corona (I've been there) and the guy walking up the stairs holding it is wearing a Fender employee badge.

Members warioblast Posted February 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 Does Fender own Gretsch or something "In 2003 Gretsch entered into an agreement with Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC), under the terms of which Fred Gretsch III would continue to own the company, with FMIC handling most development, distribution and sales." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Does Fender own Gretsch or something Technically, no they do not. It's still owned by the Fred Gretsch family. However, Fender and Gretsch have a contractual agreement of some sort... I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but basically Fender manufacturers and markets the Gretsch guitars. The high-end stuff is made in Corona. I believe some stuff may still be made in Japan... and the majority (if not all of) the Electromatics are made in China.

Members six acre lake Posted February 2, 2012 Members Share Posted February 2, 2012 If it costs more than a genuine White Falcon than that is dumb. While I would like to own the Chicken pictured I don't think it would be any better then my real deal Gretsch WF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
