The Sparklecaster Tele

[Giant Guitars]

Just thought I'd leave this here for some thoughts / opinions.

It's a heavy sparkle gold, double bound thinline body with a Fender Telecaster block inlay neck.

The pickups were cheap ones from eBay - a hot rails in the bridge and a quarter pound neck copy. The bridge hot rails was terrible so I swapped it out for a Fender USA tele bridge pickup I had lying around.

The neck pickup is incredible and I'll be buying the same again, was like £22 and it's stupidly good!

I currently have loaned this guitar to a streamer who is using it 3 times a week on Twitch and it always sounds superb!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated! All in all cost me just shy of £600 so not a bad price at all for such a beautiful guitar (if I do say so myself)

Love it! Looks great!

I am probably biased towards bound Thinline guitars or even just bound guitars in general..

 

[ElvisNixon]

Wow! That is one Kool looking guitar. Did you buy it painted or have someone do it?

 

[RobRiggs]

What kind of bridge pup is it? Any idea how it compares to a Duncan Quarter Pounder? Thank you!

The bridge is a standard Fender USA Telecaster bridge and the neck is a quarter pounder copy - the neck is superb, I'd say it's very close to the SD one but it totally overpowers the Fender bridge pickup so I'll be changing the bridge out once I get it back!

She is sweet.
But then, I am a bit biased.

Looks like a great stage guitar. Would get lots of attention.
