Guitar with two Telecaster bridge pickups

[msilvestri]

I'm looking for a photo of a guitar with two Telecaster bridge pickups, one in the bridge position and one in the neck position. I'm pretty sure I saw one from the Fender Custom Shop, but I can't find it. I think it was a Jazzmaster with a sparkle finish. It doesn't have to be this particular guitar. I'm sure other examples exist as well. Thanks.

There were a few CS Telemasters like that. I think they were made for Make 'n Music in Chicago (at least that's the site I recall seeing them on). Seafoam green sparkle with an anodized pickguard & 2 or 3 Tele bridge pickups. I can't find any pics of them now either sorry, but I totally loved how they looked.

Thanks EunosFD! All I had to do was search for Telemaster.

I use Tele bridges for the neck in many guitars. They fit a HB route w no modification. I have a 2 HB route Hardtail Strat clone w a one of a kind tapped5.6K, 6.4K Tele bridge in the neck for '50s and '60s sounds. Nice idea, different voicings rather than normal- overwound/overdrive.Very Fenderish, but fuller.

Yeap, that's the one! I couldn't find it on their site earlier for some reason. I love it. Drool city. Definitely the inspiration for a future build, but with a Lollar CC in the neck position.

Teleterr do you have a photo you can post when you get a chance? I'm actually thinking of doing something similar. My friend just bought a '72 Thinline with no electronics. I want to put a Telecaster bridge pickup in both humbucker routes. I was concerned that a Telecaster bridge pickup might not fit in the humbucker routes. I'm glad to hear it can be done without modification.

Sounds like the John Jorgenson model.

After noodling around to make sure the p/up was right while the guitar was unfinished I am today sanding the upper bout for better arm angle, and then will finish w Epoxy which gives a nice amber clear shiny finish and improves the bass and sustain vs normal finish. I plan on doing a demo once its done , but I'm sure that won't be for a while. The bridge is getting a Duncan "Hot for Tele" since the I have 2 classic style tones already.
