Hello all - Some of you may remember the tele parts guitar that was on ebay 2
weeks ago. i picked it up from Knightair. i've had the guitar since monday and
now i wanted to report on it's condidtion/status AND ask for some help in
identifying what it is.
Strathead neck: 1 3/4 at the nut, with a polyurethane finish on the back
of the neck. Makes me think Holldsworth. if the neck was modded to a floyd neck
after the fact, there should be at least 1 hole for a string tree, or 4 holes
for a behind the nut kahler locknut. there are no signs of any mods on the
neck. even the holes for the lock nut look professionally done and it does not
have a shim under the nut. has what appears as a work order number 4512.
Tele body: flamey top, bound edge. pickup selector in the les paul
position. if you lok at the route for the selector, you will see that it looks
identical to the ones that are on stars. brass shielding in the pickup selector
cavity. the floyd looks great. the only thing that concerned me when i
purchased the guitar was the funky angle the floyd had on the body. well, as it
turns out the neck had 2 pretty big shims in it, so i get the impression that
it was set up like to so the body would not be routed for vai-like pullups. the
other thing is that i this body was a pre pro body then i should see remnants
of a different trem/bridge setup. there are none. it didnt have a vintage, as
the required 6 holes are not there. and it wasnt routed after the fact for a
floyd because the routed area is covered in finish. i believe that the body was
done for a floyd originally, which puts it in the early 80's. i have been
playing with the body shims and should be able to get it to sit correctly. the
volume control is a coil splitter. not fond of those the cavity has a les paul
route again shielded in brass. has the work order number 4218 in the pocket
along with what looks like a date of 4-11 and some initials.
maybe i'm over hopeful, but i get the impression that this guitar was ordered
as is. the neck fits real well and i'm sure the body is real. i think that
somoene wanted a strat/tele/les paul and this is the result. i'm including
pics.
I would love it if tracy or hossman or any of the other super knowledgable guys
on the board would chime in with opinions. i would really like to be able to
narrow down this guitar.I'm posting this on both the JCF and CC.
