Hot or Not? Handmade Telecaster-Les Paul Hybrid

[Lerxst]

Disclosure
I am a hobby builder, not a factory, or a professional. Some aesthetic mistakes have been made and you should know about these before purchase. There are sanding burns on the inside of the treble horn and the headstock (see pictures). A portion of the headstock began to de-laminate. I have filled this gap with epoxy so it is very stable but still noticeable. None of the issues affect the guitar's function or play-ability. If they did, I would not sell it.

Definitely not hot, but far from the monstrosity it could've been.

Somebody's gonna rock that.

I'd call this an HH Tele variation. I see nothing LPish about it. I like it.

Personally, I don't think it is awful but it does look like a bit of a sloppy job:
The glue up on the neck lam is all over the place, the laminates run off the side of the neck & the tuner side lam started to fail, needing repair
Looks like a router table bit gouge or something on the back of the HS
The burns in the end grain on both of the upper and lower bouts
The back control cav route looks like it could be sloppy...hard to tell from the pics but looks like the back radius and another spot are banged out
That 15th fret inlay is off-center from the rest

Nice try anyway...

Nice body from behind. I'm just saying.

Nah, there isn't much that appeals to me.

I respect the home effort. If he enjoys it, good on him.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

That's a hobby build alright.

 

[gtrjunior]

It's not for me but for a hobby build it came out just fine

 

[Coralkong]

I dig it.

Kind of reminds me of the Carvin Allan Holdsworth model minus the heel cut.

that guitar is deeply offensive.
