Saw this, but wonder if the price is exorbitant due due the pedigree ?
I believe Tim Bram luthier offers the same thing for way less as well?
I'd just stick with the trad design for my tastes.

It's a one off ... Not having to sell 500 of these allows the price to be bonkers

I liked this one the best

I think it's very cool, even desirable. But I just can't call it a "Telecaster". Not much "T" about it, but for the body dims! Marketing!
What if Gibson made a Strat shaped body, Gibson neck and headstock, Gibson P90's, and electronics, with a TOM bridge and Jazzmaster Tailpiece. Would you call it a "jazz Strat" ???? Maybe, and I might think it cool. But......
I'm J Sayin'

I'd love one with a Jazzmaster body, and it doesn't even have to be Brazilian rosewood.
-
Certainly presses my buttons!
Won't sell many outside of the US with brazilian rosewood.......
Do you think the "tortoiseshell" references concern plastic parts or could they be (unlikely, I know) the real thing?Last edited by Ray175; 03-03-2021 at 06:54 AM.

I wonder how you intonate that fixed wood bridge if you change strings gauge ...
-
Everything about the Jazz Telecaster is way cool! Too bad it will be so expensive.
-
The fact that they used Brazilian rosewood suggests they are gonna market this as a very luxury model.
It's basically a semi-hollow Eastman Romeo. Spruce top, mahogany back, humbucker. I'm more curious about the Romeo.

Yeah, that's the only thing I'd change: I would have done a TOM bridge with a wood base. Originally Posted by guavajelly

Right... but the bridge BASE is metal studs screwed into the guitar in both cases. I'm talking about a true floating (but I'd pin it) arch top bridge base, with a TOM on it. Originally Posted by DMgolf66

Headstock shape
Mahogany neck
Rosewood fretboard
Spruce top
Mahognay body
Humbucker
Wood bridge
Neck angle
Tailpiece
....
All that swear Telecaster !
Maybe a nice guitar, but why call it a Telecaster ?

He doesn't say if it is a bolt on or set neck. Personally I am unmoved by it. For me, a Tele headstock and no rear route would have been better aesthetic choices.

I think it's lovely. A nice statement guitar for a retiring builder.

Have you seen Jim Hall playing on any Tele? Originally Posted by Tal_175
