I don't normally like pink guitars, but that one is awesome. I love the hotter pickups in my classic player jazzmaster, so I think I'd definitely get along with this one....and it's a semi-hollow!!

It looks just like my LP and probably wouldn't fulfill any needs my LP doesn't.
I don't even know if I like offsets

It's probably terribly QC'd and has grounding issues.
But I saw one on the wall when I was selling my boogie at GC (pours one out for my fallen homie), I literally felt it calling to me. I was almost trapped in the magnetic field of that black trans finish.
DO NOT ENGAGE.
That's been on my Irrational Fender Lust list too. But it's more rational for me, since I love p90s, that body shape without a pickguard,
and the rosewood look! Sexy trifecta.

Is it alright to have rational Fender lust? 'Cause I've been jonesing for a Tele something fierce.

There is a builder (the one I actually got my Telemaster body from) I think he goes by Alpine_Oregon who has been making semi-hollow offset, strat and tele bodies regularly. They go for around $120-140, unfinished, but BEAUTIFUL. He's even been known to use rosewood. If you search up Telemaster or Jazzmaster body you might be able to find him.
Oh sweet! Thanks for the tip. I found him by googling Alpine_Oregon. Nice stuff! He's on my watch-list now. The tele-firebird combo is pretty cool.

I think it'd look pretty sweet with a tele neck...confuse the hell out of people.
Some of those bodies are siiick. Note made for when I have the motivation to build stuff. How bad was the extra sanding and finishing and such to get the body finished?

I still think these would look way better without strat jacks.

Not bad dude. Just a little time consuming. About 2-3 hours of sanding by hand with various grades of sanding block to get it silky smooth and to remove some rough CNC work, then about an hour total for prestain, then staining only took 7 minutes, but dried for 24 hours before I applied 7 coats of tru-oil which I did over about 3 days. I could do about 1 coat every 3 hours of the oil. I'd do it again if I could. It was a good learning process for me!

Of course!
Here's my rational Fender lust (rational, cause I'd use it for my acoustic songs and fuzz, and be able to use it more live...where I play acoustic):

But prolly in white. Prolly.
