Barnwood Hybrid Telecaster One-Off Build from Salvaged Chaos
Handbuilt in North Devon, this guitar is a collision of eras and styles: a Telecaster silhouette fused with Stratocaster guts, crafted from reclaimed roofing wood and a shattered Strat shell that refused to die. It’s not just assembled—it’s resurrected.
- Body: Strat-routed Tele shape, salvaged timber and broken Strat shell
- Neck: 22-fret maple with rosewood-style fretboard, slim profile, lightly nitro-finished
- Electronics: HSS configuration, 3 single coils, 5-way switch, Strat-style scratchplate
- Hardware: Wilkinson hardtail bridge, new 10mm machine heads, strap buttons
- Dimensions: 25.5″ scale length, 42mm nut width, approx. 44mm body thickness (± 0.5mm)
- Weight: 3.3kg of raw tone and rebellion
This isn’t a factory clone—it’s a Frankenstein lovechild of Jedson and Strat, stitched together with defiance and solder. The electrics are mid-range, the tone is old-school twang, and the finish is unapologetically imperfect. Built to be played, not polished.
Crafted from recycled materials, a new old stock neck, and a mix of refurbished and new parts. A one-off barnwood creation, made in a shed in North Devon. Actual photos will be published soon. Similar guitar will be listed on eBay.
