"One-Of-A-Kind"
Fender Custom Shop Telecaster / Electric Xll by Fred Stuart

This unique double-neck Telecaster / Electric Xll weighs 13.40 lbs. and is a one-of-a-kind instrument specially designed and built by Master luthier Fred Stuart in late 1991 (completed in January 1992). The guitar features a beautiful asymmetrical double-cut, one-piece see-thru blond light-ash body with wonderful bluish 'veins' showing through. On the Telecaster side, rounded edges on the back and on the Electric Xll, a contoured edge on the bass side, so that the body contours reflect the half of the instrument they represent. Both of the necks are hand-carved from solid lightly-figured maple and have 'slab' rosewood fretboards. The Telecaster neck has a wonderfully thin-to-medium profile (similar to a '66) and a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches. The Electric Xll neck has a very comfortable medium profile and a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches. Both have a scale length of 25 1/2 inches and 21 medium frets with white dot position markers. The Telecaster with a single-coil "Tele" pickup encased in metal shell in the neck position with an output of 8.60k and a single-coil 'Broadcaster' style flat-pole bridge pickup with 'copper base' and a huge output of 10.21k in the bridge position. The Electric Xll with three early-to-mid sixties style white-plastic covered Stratocaster pickups - the neck and middle with staggered poles and the bridge pickup with flat poles. Single-layer black plastic pickguard (for both guitars) with seven screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) plus five-way 'Tele' style pickup selector switch with black plastic 'top-hat' tip and a three-way mini switch for neck selection, all on metal plate adjoining pickguard. Fifties style 'Tele' knobs with domed tops and knurled sides. Telecaster with late sixties style bridge assembly with three 'grooved' steel saddles and Tele base. Electric Xll with Fender twelve steel-saddle combined bridge/tailpiece. This unique guitar is in mint (9.50) condition. Housed in its original Fender custom made 'Tan' hardshell case with imitation brown leather ends and yellow/orange plush lining (9.25). This exceptional double-neck guitar was the only one ever built with these features…
