I will be using a gorgeous Warmoth body that is chambered swamp ash with quilted high grade maple top. It is being routed for Lollar Charlie Christian Telecaster neck pickup and standard bridge that I will be using Jason Lollar’s B.S. Telecaster bridge pickup. These pickups are well matched. These pickups sound a bit like P90s with a lower output. The 4-layer pearl custom pickguard is also from Warmoth.
Clarence White was a true original. Not only was he an amazing acoustic guitar player, he was the co-inventer of the Parsons/White B-bender and amazed us all with his innovative playing. Clarence White’s original B-bender Telecaster is now owned and played by Marty Stuart after Clarence left us way too soon after being hit by a drunk driver. Watch Clarence White in action.

Buck Owens and Don Rich may have been the original Telemasters. Back in the 1960s they were playing some Fender custom made “sparkle” Telecasters. No Fender Custom Shop in those days. The story has it that these were created with ground mirrors in the paint according to George Gruhn. They are pretty amazing looking.
Vince Gill shows a few guitars from his amazing collections. Love the guitar drawers!
I have long admired the Jazzmaster off-set style body and liked the Telemaster take on it. This project should come together quickly. I have almost all the parts in stock except body, pickguard and pickups. Mostly left over from other projects.
I have always wanted to give a Warmoth body a try for one of my partscaster builds. So I ordered a very nice Warmoth Jazzcaster body (Warmoth name for a Telemaster) from their “in-stock showcase” items. This means Warmoth already has the body complete and ready to ship. This does save time and money from a custom made order which would cost a bit more and wait time of at least a few weeks or more.
