Telecaster Custom Build 70’s Jimmy Page Bret Mason Jack White Gilmore Wiring wHSC

This is a custom build Telecaster style guitar I call the Telachine made to do EVERYTHING, including change your household remotes and open your garage door….hehe. The builder of this guitar has an incredible imagination coupled with the ability to replicate what some of the most popular guitars on the market today, followed up by the skill set to execute this dream boat. He used all high quality components and unique woods and finish work to achieve this amazing guitar. Some players may say this is a telecaster from hell! Of course those would be the simpletons that want a three way 2 PU “n” go style, which this can do too. However, I believe the Telecaster was actually born in hell so yes it is a Tele from the flaming city below, it just has the ability to rise above the boiling waters and fly to through the skies to the pearly gates. She is also quite light coming in at 5.8 pounds so there is no back breaking here. Below is the litany of things it actually does with all of its push/push knobs which are on every dial and every position of the toggle and it is also equipped with a momentary kill switch. Every kind of coil splitting/taping, phasing, reverse phasing and blending can be done from this one device. Every single spec is detailed below. This is a combination of the wring schemes from a whole bunch of Telecasters including, Jimmy Page, Nashville, Bret Mason, David Gilmore on a Tele, and just about any others worth mentioning. This guitar is in excellent condition and never been gigged with only a small scratch on the rear of the guitar. She comes in a Gator hard shell case that is in excellent+ condition too.

About the wiring:

• Jimmy Page wiring (50s style) gives you 21 different combinations of tone. The chart of each of those 21 positions is below and in the images.
• Middle dual rail humbucker is independent and has a push/push coil split. Middle volume can be turned all the way off or blended into whatever position at whatever volume you like. Bridge and neck volume must be at least partially on for middle pickup to have volume.
• Chart of knob positions is in the pictures.
• Shape your tone at the tip of your fingers. Want to smooth it out?...add middle humbucker to reduce resistance, or split a humbucker. Want to hear it out of phase?...push the bridge tone knob. Raw unbridled treble?...turn the middle humbucker all the way to zero.
