Vintage Modified Thinline Telecaster

They're actually a 24.75" scale, but for a tele, that's a shortscale. But it's a shorter scale than normal and it's a 7.25 Rosewood conversion neck and the whole guitar can be had for under 3 bills.

does anyone have any experience with these guitars?

WHY IS THIS IN SHORTSCALES, ETC.

they are nice, but the neck feels like plastic. the pickups are pretty nice, and i think they sound pretty close to a modern vintage style like the ALNICO 5's.

i love the bridge.

because it's a telecaster! It is shorter than all the other teles out there.

I have one. Love it. I Esquired it.
I also have two extra necks from this guitar. They are conversion necks, so if you get one, you can convert your 25.5 scale tele to a 24.75. The first project I used one for was my surf green Xavier telemaster. Love that one, too. Also Esquired, and weighs five pounds.

i wish they still made those telemasters in decent colors, i'd jump on one of those in a new york minute.

as in, you have two extra necks you're not using? or you have bought two for projects?
