I like it. Now all it needs is a Strat neck.

the upper horn looks waay off.

I like it, but the extra cut away sort of unbalances the lower one.

the arm contour is in a rather odd place don't you think, its way out on left field. but the color is key!
the modified top horn is...... not right.

Took my third or fourth look at those pics to realise how it was modified.

Looks like that Tele take in the Vantage Advance series.

I quite like it, although the smaller horn kinda makes it look further away, like the guitar is tilted or something.

I think done from scratch (ie, not having to use the stock top horn) with a bigger horn, it could look neato.

I have the feeling a Tele setup on a Mustang body could look a bit fucking awesome, gonna have to Paintshop tonight..

Basically he is trying to do the TC-90?

I actually dig it. It's unique and does it without being ugly. It might not be good looking enough as a solid of a design for mass production like the original, but I can look at it without feeling like the owner butchered it. It's a tasteful color choice too.

The problems lie in the thin area between pickguard and bout on the upper side and in the smallness of the horn.

I don't like it, but it's not the most tasteless thing I've ever seen.

looks like a knock off.

why not just put tele pickups in a hardtail strat? it seems like that'd be less work.

I like the concept of a double cut Tele style guitars more than regular Teles. Like this Lentz

teles are the ugliest fender anyway so...

Good idea in concept I guess, but it looks wierd that it's shorter (or at least not longer) than the lower horn.

I think Jaguars look bit of a mess personally.
