History of the Strat / Tele Hybrid

I traded a '63 Fender Jaguar for this Strat / Tele / Gibson Hybrid in 1968 that a friend of mine built in Atlanta, Georgia.

It had a 1953 Telecaster body, 1958 Stratocaster neck and set up like a Gibson with 50's PAF Humbucker Pickups and pots and the Gibson Varitone Switch which gave it  3 (Selector Switch) times (X) 6 different tone variations or 18 sounds.
(I used this guitar in Los Angeles in Session Work because of the variety of tones)

In recent years I decided to make two guitars from this beast
I took the '58 Strat neck and 50's PAF Humbucker Pickups and built this beautiful Sunburst Strat with gold hardware.
I split coiled the PAF's to get both Strat  5-way switching and Gibson Humbucker sounds at the flip of a mini switch.

Then from the '53 Telecaster body and all new Tele parts, I built this 3 Pickup Nashville Style Telecaster with gold hardware.
