This guitar is an attempt to join the powers of three famous guitars: the fat Strat, Strat  and Tele. It has a fat Virola body for an exceptional resonating tone. It is extremely light. The top is 3/8" book-matched  Imbuia. The mini-humbucker pickups are custom-wound by Tesla to achieve a balanced spread of loudness.
They can be switched from humbucker to single coil for a classic strat or tele sound.

It is hand numbered (07-2) and hand-signed as are all my
guitars.
I have built 27 custom versions.

A truly vintage feel and look with a glassy hand lacquered finish. Strap buttons will be added upon sale. Choice of sleek flat crown for fast leads or round crowned frets for general playing.
