Primal Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I know of a strat called the hellcaster, so that one might be out. I like plastercaster though, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it share something else with the Tele? What woods are you going to use (besides maple and ebony from the carvin neck)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 i was thinking of swamp ash to keep it light but im open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) couple body mods, it will have a bevel for my elbow (like strat) and it will have very easy acess to the upper frets Edited August 12, 2005 by Nitefly SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggardguy Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Darn,I was gonna say metallicaster or the flabbercaster, the diecaster, um.. i dunno. I also like how its nothing like a telecaster:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 i was just thinking the shape of a tele, i dont like anything but the look of them, their twang pisses me off. so to butch one up would create a supreme guitar, it'd be like a les paul with out the weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make it thinner to reduce weight, and possibly also do a chambered construction, althou that will influence the sound, of cause. If you chose the swamp ash body, and keep the string through body bridge, you will still end up with a lot of the twang from a tele. I did a Tele/Strat crossover with a few of your modifications: Thin swamp ash body with belly-cut, arm rest cut and an easy access neck joint. I put in my own T90-style pickups, tree like a strat, so that isn't for metal. It turned out very twang, but with a lot of LP junior puch, thanks to the T90s. Its my favourite guitar right now!

Nitefly SA Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Where does the twang come from? if it is a string through the strings would go throught the maple neck, would that make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mledbetter Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Where does the twang come from? if it is a string through the strings would go throught the maple neck, would that make a difference? ← The twang comes from a single coil bridge pickup. Teles are capable of sounding like pretty much anything given the right tonewoods and pup configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
