Hot! even if I am not a Telemaster fan.

A little more than $1k. Not bad I'd say.

Hmm, a little bit nicer than the walnut US one, but still it's pretty brown. So give it a quilted maple top and a nice colourful stain/dye and I'd be keen.

Actually, you know what, my short scaled acoustic is mahogany body/neck with ebony fretboard... but acoustics should be a brownfest

Can't they make one offset telecaster with jazzmaster neck pickup? It makes so much sense for this hybrid instrument to have more than just jazzmaster body shape.

Is anyone even remotely surprised that I like that?

I love how people complained about the Doheny having too much blank space with no vibrato, but a lot of the same people love this abomination.
The tele guard and bridge and whatever just looks so fucked up on a jazzmaster body. I'll never see the appeal. I've seen them hanging in guitar shops, I don't even bother trying one. They appeal to me about as much as a B.C. Rich Warlock.

Easy fix.

I mean, take out the relic job and that's pretty hot IMO. But I agree with you, having the giant blank space is silly. I love tele pickups and I love offsets, but they only look right with a big honking vibrato tailpiece on them.

Then again, I like the Doheny. Not aesthetically, but functionally, because MFD pickups rock, the G&L 2-point fulcrum vibrato is the ultimate Strat bridge, and their built quality is second to none.

So good. I always think that a nice middle-ground of hardtail JM plate would be perfect for Telemaster/Jazzcasters: something to take up a little space and longer strings behind-the-bridge, but yet still hardtail like a Tele.
