As you can see from JSJH's thread, I thought of a Telestrat design.

Since Tele players don't like the fact that Strats have a middle pickup and a volume control in the way of the strumming hand, how about this:

-Tele looks
-Strat Cutaways
-Master volume and dedicated tone controls (see below)
-5-way switch
-Three pickups like on the Strat, only the middle pickup is over-wound but set extremely low so as not to interfere with playing
-Pick guard that houses all of the electronics, but the controls are set far away from the pickups
-The bridge pickup is mounted on a steel plate, but the pick guard is created in such a way so that it 'catches' the bridge pickup when it is removed

What do you think? Someone want to build it for me cause I don't have the time or skills...or incentive, for that matter.

It surprises me that Fender hasn't thought of something like this...or have they?

It's a monstrosity! Make it go away!

It's like sticking the front half of a Ferrari on the back end of an F150. Great vehicles, both, but should they be combined? Probably not.

YES! They should be combined. I would like it that way. I guess I'm just open to new guitar innovations than you guys. :)
