I know some people will hate this idea, but whatever. My 2005 American Deluxe Tele is my favorite guitar and I get a variety of outstanding tones from it.

However, I'm also a big "metal" fan (EVH to Static X). I'd like a Fender FrankenTele with a hot humbucking bridge pickup and a reliable whammy bridge with locking tuners (no Floyd Rose!) for metal shredding. I want to keep the Telecaster body style and feel. You can find plenty of Frankenstrats but few Frankenteles. Anybody else wonder, or know, why? Anybody know where to buy one?

How about a J5 Triple Deluxe?

Other than that you'll have to do it yourself or cough up some big dollars and have one built custom.

Right on. Thanks for the link. I've never seen that model and I'm anxious to try one out. Personally, I'd like it better with a Tele headstock rather than the oversized Strat headstock, and if the whammy bridge were something newer with locking tuners rather than vintage (prone to go out of tune?). Then, I think I'd buy it even without playing one first. Also, I can live without that chrome pickguard (messy and hassle to remove).
