FrankenTele has arisen again! Yes!

After more electrifying jolts and some fresh new body parts, the FrankenTele has risen again!  Yes!  Again!

I have lost count, but FrankenTele has risen from the dead at least 8 times! 

For those who asked, here is a picture of the latest version of my FrankenTele. This one has a maple neck with a rosewood fret board. The body is African Mahogany with a stain mixture and finish that I concocted. The rosewood fret board and the mahogany body warmed the guitar up a lot. When it had the solid maple neck and pine body the guitar was a little too sparkly for my taste (but it was a sound that many country pickers love).

 
The pickups are Lindy Fralin.

Neck pickup - Lindy Fralin Blues Special Strat middle pickup. Puting it in the neck slot took out some of the treble spike that many Strats are notoriious for. It still has edge and bite, but no ice pick stuff comes out of it. 

Middle pickup - Lindy Fralin Pure PAF bridge pickup. Just like the Strat pickup I put in the neck, the PAF was a little to bright in the bridge, and it sweetened up perfectly in the middle.

Bridge pickup - a Lindy Fralin Hum-Cancelling P90 neck pickup. This pickup was the opposite of the Strat and PAF pickups. It was a little too low end and loose in the neck slot, which is why a lot of people like the P90s. Moving it to the bridge tightened up the low end and it produces that creamy P90 sound, with just a little edge. Sound wise, it sits between a typical humbucker and a single coil P90.

Enjoy The Music!
