Uh, right. Cool detail, very unique.

Are you seriously considering a Boracha Jazzmaster? Looks kinda cool with the reverse Telemaster body and Telecaster neck! Put another Gretsch spin into the original design by throwing three FilterTron humbuckers, Country Gent controls and a reverse Telecaster neck with fancy black pearl half-moon inlays and 22 Dunlop 6105s!

The idea of an offset body is interesting but that particular rendition doesn't really appeal to me. The so-called Telemaster models that the Fender Custom Shop did for a dealer in Chicago are more to my liking:

Perhaps a Telemaster with a reverse Tele neck, a Nocaster pickup in the lead, a Jaguar pickup in the middle and a Duncan Minibucker in the rhythm positions?

With a 5-way super switch this axe could be capable to deliver an impressive bevy of tones ranging from sparkling country twang to big fat jazz.

Looks like a work of art . . . hence the name. I love it!
