This is a one of a kind Telecaster Thinline built for me in 2008 by luthier Dale Roberts. It features only the highest quality components and tonewoods. As a thinline, it is very light weight. It was built 1/4" deeper than a Fender Thinline in order to increase resonance. This feature combined with the Seymour Duncan P-90 in the neck makes this guitar sound like a jazz box with a clean tone in the neck pickup position, or a Strat in the middle position (Duncan Quarter-pound Strat pickup), or hot country Tele in bridge with the Duncan quarter pound Telecaster bridge pickup. It is also designed for speed, with a flat 12" radius and thin neck profile, and a cut-out back neck heel for ease of access to upper frets.

I spent $2,000 in 2008 to make this guitar to specs. I realize that because it is not a "name brand," I can't get my money out of it. But this is a fine, one of a kind instrument and you won't do better for the price.

Specifications:
25.5" scale
12" radius
Bloodwood Fretboard with staggered cat's eye fret markers
Three piece neck made of maple, walnut, and bubinga
mahogany body
Bone binding
flame maple top finished in teal
Three Seymour Duncan Pickups: PhatCat P90 in neck, Quarter pound Strat in middle, Quarter pound Telecaster bridge
5 way switch
toggle switch to activate bridge pickup with any other, effectively creating 7 way switcing
Cut-out neck heel for ease of access to upper frets
