They're unbelievably bling but work really well. if i bought one i'd be tempted to lose the metal guard but that would be out of modesty.

Alden did a Gretsch/Tele mash-up a while back, a fairly straight rip of the Fender Custom Shop version from a few years ago. It's one of those odd clashes where it just works; throwing an arched hollow top, full binding, filtertrons, bigsby and all the rest of it onto one of the simplest guitars ever made.

Almost. Do not want Fender that doesn't have the old school block inlay dimensions, and FUCK BLOCK INLAYS WITHOUT BINDING. I'll scream it until I'm blue in the face.robroe wrote:

If block inlay tele is Chinese modern player priced, I will gobble that shit up. I will fucking gobble it.
If it's Mim or mij and priced above four hundo, then I'm with everyone else on thinking its bullshit to not include binding.

There's an old Squier range that this reminds me of. I forget it but they were marketed as really good guitars, a friend of mine had one, but I never really had a go. As I remember they weren't run for long and they were solid to get hold of.Rhysyrhys wrote:Hooooooo Leeeeeeeee Shittttttttttttttttttt:

I think you're probably thinking of the pro-tone range.BobArsecake wrote:There's an old Squier range that this reminds me of.

That's the one!

James beat me to it. I had the Strat version, gold hardware etc. Fender canned them because they were having a negative effect on Fender USA sales.

Think there is any hope for more awesome offsets and shortscales from squier or Fender? I guess only winter namm will tell.

I wonder if they do hollowbody offsets; Fender Japan have done a few for a while now. The Jag and Mustang look a bit 'off' with the soundholes, but the Jazzmaster looked hawt.

Offset Special??

There's something that seems off about the offset. It's like bloated or something lol. It would be cool if it was more star blaster like.

Needs a pickguard; that would help a lot, I think.

I remember seeing a thread (pretty sure it was here) where hypothetical pickguards were being 'shopped onto the Offset Special and it really did make it better.
