Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted March 2, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2009 I agree and think we may start a new H.C.E.G. fad. i'ma going to start work on one right away. Hmmmm, but maybe the Strat with a Nashville pickguard and Tele control plate would seriously {censored} with some folks, although it'd have to be a custom body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 My biggest visual gripe with a tele has always been the pickguard and the control plate. I just don't like em. But the strat guard is lovely on it. Needs a Floyd though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ferdinandstrat Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think what the OP meant is a Tele with Tele pickups but with a Strat pickgueard. Probably modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members El Glom-o Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 How about a Stratosquire with no pickguard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steve the Hero Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 Makes me wonder what the back would look like. Do most of these have the strat trem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 I wonder if it can be done with a tele bridge??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Furtive Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 well i'll be damned... had no idea you could do that. And it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edward Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is it really different from the Nashville Teles, which I really like?I mean, isn't it sorta just that, but w/the Strat knob/switch/pickguard configuration rather than theTele? No, nothing like the Nashville Tele. It's simple a Strat without the upper cutaway, if you look at it. There's really nothing Telecaster about it at all, other than the vague body outline and placement of the jack socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bert-O-325 Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think those white Streles look pretty nice! But Personally - I'd rather go the other direction: A Strat Body shape (with the tummy cut & forearm cut) but with Tele pick-ups, Tele (three-barrel) Bridge and control configuration (no middle pickup). But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members unworthy Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 Probably not what you had in mind, but... It's still, basically, a test bed in need of further development, but it now has a SD SM-1n in the neck and a GFS Hot 60s in the bridge. I think I still need to go a little hotter in the bridge.

Like my brother's Stratosquire (post #31), but with a neck pickup. I've been thinking about adding a P-90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really nothing Telecaster about it at all, other than the vague body outline and placement of the jack socket. I'm looking at it again, and you're right. It's not a Strat-like Tele at all. It's a STrat with a little extra wood. This whole thread has been a waste of time. Now I wouldn't mind seeing one with a Straight up Tele body, a string-through bridge, and two PUPs (the Nashville config. would be okay, though.)

Members FranklinPearl Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 Me too!The third PUP is what's doing it. That and the knobs/switch positioning. My first reaction is to say "some idiot totally didn't get it and posted a picture of a Strat," and then it dawns on me that I'm the idiot. yeah...my eyes and brain are confused... anyhow...those aren't exactly teles with strat-guards...those are strat setups on a tele 'frame'... i wanna see a tele rig with a strat guard, you now, lipstick at the neck...all that.

Yeah, that would be more interesting to me to. Or, hey, an Esquire version, with a kill switch in place of one of the tone knobs.... BTW, you ever see the earliest known Strat prototype? Came to light avbout fifteen years ago, iirc... can't find a photo online, but it was basically a Tele body but with an upper cutaway and elongated horn, two Tele neck pups. Not unlike a Nashville, barring the difference in body shape. Xan't find a photo online, though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members unworthy Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 Nice. You think of trying a SD Firedbird mini-hum neck pup / stacked sc sized HB bridge pup, a la Johnny Ramone's customised Mosrites? That would fit right in with the vibe, I think, and probably give you the extra balls you fancy in the bridge as well.... I like the SD mini in the neck. I'm not really looking for a ballsy bridge pup, but I started with a GFS Vintage Alnico and the difference in output between the pups was extreme. They also didn't sound at all good together. The swap to the GFS '62 was an improvement in the balance, but it's still a little lacking in vibe. I may just be looking for a higher quality vintage-output bridge pup.

Members StevenJM Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 the tele with the strat pickguard looks like a strat with a broken arm. kind of cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
