Telecasters with 3x3 headstocks?

[rspst14]

I'm thinking of building a Warmoth Telecaster, and I'd like to use a neck with a 3x3 headstock. I'm not real good at visualizing these types of things, does anyone have any pics of a Tele-shaped body with a 3x3 headstock? Thanks.

Thanks...I agree, the 3x3 headstock I'd planned on is much better looking than that. And I thought older Hamers had unattractive headstocks, that's just plain ugly.

Along the same line . . . I can't remember where this came from.

Well, you have to consider it was designed for a guy who's into "snowballing" (yes, a Clerks reference). :laugh2:

Who is that guy? Does he play for a well-known band or something?

John 5, formerly of Marilyn Manson.

Thanks! I won't ask what happened to Johns 1-4.

I believe "John 5" is a bible passage.

carvin makes their version of a 'tele' available with a 3x3 ... check one of their catalogues or their website for a rough idea

good luck

still not liking the look of a tele with a 3x3 headstock, i guess i just like my teles to look vintage. a 3x3 headstock will change the string tension also, so if you are going for a traditional sound you may have some problems or something real cool like the change when you string a lefty guitar for a right handed player

Thanks guys...Jolly's pic is exactly what I was looking for. I'm definitely not looking for a vintage Tele tone with this project. It's going to have two humbuckers and a Floyd. :32:

Cool. When I took that pic a yr or so ago, the headstock isn't exactly what I was going for. Just do a search on the computer for a Schecter PT Custom and I'll sure you'll find some good pics of them with their headstock.
