Telecaster style/sound + Gibson scale length?

Why not get a tele, that is what you want, I find that the scale lengths let me do different things on the guitars, I have Les Pauls and strats, and it takes a few minutes to adapt to the different scale lengths, you could buy a Warmouth, they let you chose the body and neck and other components, but IMO just get a tele and you will find the scale does not bother you that much, we are talking 24.75" vs 25.5".

I had a tele for a while, the body shape is the same as a Les Paul which suprised me, not sure who stole from whom. Personally I prefer the Les Paul, though my Les Paul with split coils get a nice trebly tele tone.

 

Have you looked at the Squier Vintage Modified Tele Thinline?

 

p-90'd sgs with low output pickups will probably get close. Also Firebirds are somewhat close in their drive tones, but not too twangy.

 

Mcinturff terrycaster,
the guy who did the first relics for fender does a nice 25' tele (I forget his name) cunetto???

 

Vince?
Is this so?

 

Doesn't All Parts or Might Mite make a conversion neck that fits a standard scale tele to make it a 24.75 scale? You might check in to that.

 

Isn't the anderson cobra along these lines? Gibson scale, tele shape - seems cool.

 

Yep - they do. I am seriously checking this out, too - basically a mahogany body (either solid or semi-hollow) and a big, honkin' mahogany neck, with a Tele bridge and a P-92 - in old Gibson Cherry with brown tortoiseshell pickguard and a bound top...

...not that I have given this any thought.

 

This is the end all be all for what you are looking for. I own one and it is just completely off the charts. I can't recommend any guitar more highly.
