Custom Built Jazzcaster/Telemaster

The one Leo never made!

Guitar is a hybrid Jazzmaster body routed like a Telecaster. Telemaster or Jazzcaster whichever you would like to call it. I always liked the off-set classic Jazzmaster style body contours which is more comfortable to play sitting down.
Guitar has never been gigged. There are no scratches, belt rash, fret wear, dings or issues of any kind. Guitar is virtually new and recently custom built. Never left the house. In perfect working order and looks better than most new guitars you will see at Guitar Center. Plus its a lot prettier.

If you would like to see the build process it is all documented here:


I have been building guitars for years and it is time to sell a few. This guitar was put together from all high quality parts - NO shortcuts - ALL NEW USA PARTS. This guitar PLUS case cost over $1600 to put together. It features a custom Warmoth Jazzcaster body with a quilted maple top on swamp ash body. Has natural masking for a faux binding. The Pearloid pickguard is also from Warmoth. The pictures really don't do this guitar justice.
Neck is genuine American Fender Deluxe Telecaster Neck with rosewood fingerboard and locking Schaller tuners with "pearloid" buttons. Neck has modern “C” shape profile and compound Radius 9.5″-14″ with 22 medium jumbo frets and Pearloid inlays. Great setup and plays wonderfully.
Hipshot 6 saddle bridge. Dunlop nickel strap locks.
Pickups are Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials (099-2121-000) which are wired with a 4-way switch for more versatile tones. Copper tape was used to shield the cavities were the electronics sit. Very quiet even with those single coil pickups by helping to eliminate interference and noise from lighting, etc. The CS Texas Specials are fantastic sounding pickups.
The 4-way switch wiring allows for more versatile sounds: Position 1: Bridge only Position 2: Bridge and Neck in Parallel (like a standard Tele – both pickups) Position 3: Neck only Position 4: Bridge and Neck in Series for fatter tone (more output than 1,2 & 3)
Weighs 8.5 lbs which is pretty light compared to some Jazzmasters.
Comes with a new SBK Jazzmaster case. Guitar fits perfect in it and is well protected.
I will miss this one. It always got attention and questions anytime someone saw it. Guess why D’Addario asked to feature THIS guitar in their newsletter, social media and website.
I made this guitar because Fender doesn’t!
Downsizing a very large guitar collection so that is why I am selling. I am a collector, not a gigging musician so most of my guitars are rarely played. See my other listings.
