Yay for wrong section of the forum.
Nay on the guitar itself.

Wrong forum.
I'm not sure. I've been trying to teach my girflriend about guitars. So far, she recognises the shapes of the Mustang, The Square One (tele) and the Jaguar, although she has difficulty understanding how the Jazzy and Jagmaster are the same shape.
I fear that if she were to see a gutiar like this it would set me back months in her educations.

HAHAHAHAH!!!
Totally agree with you on the last point! And I'm so forwarding this to my girlfriend in an email. She should read it within the next few hours. It's funny how all over the world these sorts of scenarios are repeated... (my girlfriend plays bass but has no grasp on gear

)

Google "Malikaster" for a perfect example of an offset Telecaster style guitar.

yea, it's not an offset it just has lumpy rear. and man, when will people get it, if you offset one part of the body, the whole thing has to be offset so it's not all out of wack looking.

Photoshop.

Although NoHo have manufactured a couple of these based on that photoshop. The "Fernandes Native X" looks a lot like it:
But I didn't see that picture until after I did the photoshop, and to be fair that guitar isn't even offset.

I know, I'm only trying to rile you up. YOu can easily tell the difference. Your one has a much more jaguar-esque bottom end on it.

Aye. Still, the more I look at it the more I realise Fernandes really must have been going for the Tele top horn, Jag bottom horn. Shame they sold out with that trem and headstock.

I actually contributed the neck Wide-Ranger to the project too, so I hope it's not no more.
When Sub finds the time to finish the body I'll buy the rest of the parts we don't have and get them sent to you Rob, so you can do the assembly.
And I think we're a neck down, RobOG was going to do it but again, if it comes down to it I'll invest in one.
