Strange Tele...? (maybe)
I don't know if anyone's ever posted a shot of one of these here but it's a keyless Telecaster type guitar made by someone named Rick Toone. It might be OK but I don't think I'd like those slanted frets at all, what do you think?.....JH in Va.

AAAAAHHHHH!!! MY EYES!! THEY BURN!! THEY BURRRRRNNNNNN!!!!!!!!



All kidding aside, it doesn't work for me. Different strokes and all, but it's too much of a mashup for my tastes.

I want to see a headless Tele that I like, but that ain't it. The headless head is still too big and the bridge and tail/tuner assembly are half way to Steam Punksville, population euw. I like fanned frets, but I don't know why they even bothered here, there is so little difference. And the vertical fret is usually around the ninth fret.

I'm a big fan of headless guitars and each to their own, but that is like putting a vajazzle on a classy old lady, or 20" rims on an E Type Jag. Wrong on every level.

It's amazing to me that Steve Cropper could ever play a note without all that corrective stuff on his guitar.

Makes me wanna say "RUN FORREST RUN".

I like it.
Lots of thinkin' went into designing it.
I'd put a TV Jones Supertron in the neck position and take er' anywhere!
