1960s Inspired Stratocaster / Telecaster Hybrid Guitar—a true musical chimera!

The body is a patchwork quilt of salvaged materials: roofing timber and a broken Stratocaster. It’s like a musical Frankenstein, stitched together with love and a touch of rebellious spirit in a red and natural wood finish?
Jedson-Stratocaster Lovechild: The body, inspired by 1960s Japanese Jedson guitars, is routed to accommodate a standard Stratocaster scratchplate and tremolo unit. HSH routing means it’s ready for humbuckers, single coils, and everything in between.
The maple neck has a rosewood type fretboard, refurbished and reborn, carries its own stories. New machine heads ensure tuning stability, and the complete tremolo bridge adds a touch of dive-bombing drama.
This guitar isn’t just wood and metal; it’s a fusion of past and present, grit and grace.
The neck wears a light nitro finish—a nod to vintage vibes. It’s like a well-aged wine, improving with time and resonating with every chord you play.
The scratchplate, pickups and electrics are lifted straight from a brand new guitar – they look like a Strat and they sound like a Strat. The electrics and pickups are mid price range generic ones – they definitely aren’t rubbish.
