The new VERY short short run of the Fender Telemaster has hit stores, the newest creation from the Fender Custom shop!
God I want one!
It has a hidden pickup under the guard, I've heard of people doing that to esquires.
Here is the link to the only place to get em, and the outrageous price:

It would look so much better with a CBS headstock IMO

3 routes in a jazzy body.
1 neck
1 pup
1 control
(and the hidden pup i spose)
a messed up paint job.
and they want 6 grand?
you could make your own mockup(of better shite)
for 300 bucks.

Haha I know, I was thinking the same thing! The price is unreal for how few of parts are actually on the guitar.

A few people on OSG have made/are making these. But then they go nuts for fuckin' Marauders.
I think they look okay, but don't really use a coherent design language like a proper telecaster or jazzmaster.

Must say, the Telecaster control plate parallel to the centre-line looks odd to me on that style of body.

I seriously love this idea, the neck goes well and (blasphemy) I'm not a fan of big headstocks. But like you guys said, tad excesive,, but I'd love to make one/see an unreliced one

I think they look nice, I would rock one. The price is shocking though. You could go to a luthier get one custom made for less, it's ridiculous.

What's with the paint-job? I don't understand new guitars looking purposefully worn...
And the price is ridiculous.

I'd like the first one if it didn't have a stupid relic paint job and had 3 ply. Also dig the red one but again fuck that relic job.
