Hmmnn ... 70's strat ... or tele Headstock? I know, I'll do both!

Not my cup of tea personally. Nice bit of wood and skilfully done though.

Presumably that infringes Fender’s copyright twice?

Probably only once, the Tele shape isn’t quite right at the end .

Creative but horrible. Like so many things, just because you can doesn’t mean you should...

@richardhomer - wouldn’t it be just the once? I thought the trademark was for the silhouette, in which case the “telecaster” is invisble.

Quite possibly - I was just going for a ‘Lol’.....

I genuinely love it - One of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments.

Hasn’t this been done before... I want to say by Probett?

Suhr did it - but with their headstock shape.

Yes, Damian did it better too.

I seem to recall seeing it on a guitar where it made sense - the body/hardware was some kind of strat/tele cross, so the headstock was a logical extension of that.
