This is a one of a kind build by renowned luthier Carlos Lopez; former Fender Custom Shop Master Builder and founder of Castedosa Guitars. The instrument is a pre-cursor to one of his new designs under Castedosa, the Marianna Semi Hollow. This was one of the guitars that Carlos built in order to receive his title as "Master Builder". For those who love the vintage 'Custom Telecasters of the early 70's as well as offset vibrato equipped models such as the Jazzmaster, this is the guitar for you.
It’s incredibly versatile with its mix of Tele ’67 Tele bridge pickup & Wide Range Humbucker in the neck position. The RSD JM bridge intonates perfectly and the JM / Jag - Style vibrato is smooth and responsive.
The medium-fat Oval C neck feels great and the guitar balances wonderfully both seated or standing. Theres was a very small chip on the tops finish, which has been professionally touched up with nitro lacquer, besides for that this rare one-off piece has been very well cared for. HSC included (likely not original) Also comes with original paperwork (aka Shop Floor Traveler) COA and inspection hangtag.
