cabronita idea

Post by brainfur »

I'm thinkin a thinline cabronita w/ forearm and tummy contours might be the ultimate weapon... any ideas where to find a body like that?

Cooterfinger?

so a semi hollow tele with contours?
doing contours on a semi hollow can be a bit of a pain in the arse. but whatever floats your boat i s'pose.

The back contour is not that difficult on a semi-hollow, the front is harder but can be done but it interferes with the F hole. Check TDPRI on how it can be done. I would say a solid body out of Pauloina (very resonant) with strat type contours. It would sound much like a semi-hollow but take the contours.

Hmmm, I may have to add that to the list of projects to get to...

so is the neck pocket tele like or strat like on that body? I guess I don't know much about the thinline series.

I honestly can't remember, the neck is off of the tele VM special but it still says jazzmaster on the neck, so my guess is that all of the VM line use the same pocket? I know the thinline uses a 24 3/4 neck, but a conversion bridge (weird, I know) so you can swap a 25.5 neck and standard bridge to get 25.5 scale (found on some tele forum thread)
