RobF Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Well , anyone else tried one yet ? Telecaster body and pickups with a lovely shortscale neck. ive not had it long enough (nor am I good enough )to define the sound. BUT I love the look and the sounds I can get out of it with the supplied Rotosound strings. It sits nice and is a real looker to me . 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I am very keen on these. How does it balance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thank you for the offer, that's really kind. I've been planning to pop over Braysdown way and have a look, but desperately need to curb bass related spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdenspur Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Very nice! Also intrigued by David's T32 - Tele body, Gibson style 2 a side headstock, Rick style pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I saw these on their Facebook page. What are the pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) I’ve got his 32 neck on a LP body. Very bass with flats. Edited November 22, 2020 by RobF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Pickups are normal Telecaster 6 string. David where are you ? tell us all about them no, I’m not on commission Edited November 22, 2020 by RobF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Dragon Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I already own 2 Retrovibes, not fair to go showing me more. (And the Vantage is a nice looking item too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHeart Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I had a Retrovibe Tele a few years ago that I traded with someone from this site, was full scale with 2 mm humbuckers and a cracking birdseye maple neck, unfortunately it was slab bodied and killed my arm so I got rid of it, would have been a keeper if it wasnt for the sharp edges.

Changing the neck and bridge, then putting the pieces together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
