Everytime I see a telemaster thread I keep asking myself why the heck doesn't Fender just make one if there's a market for it ? I've been bouncing the idea around of trying to build a budget telemaster . Said and done I can do it for under $600 . The Warmoth way mostly since I don't really have access to woodworking equipment . Pretty much bolting painting and soldering for me . I was also thinking of getting an Xaviere XV-JT90 and going to town on it putting on a proper tele neck , better hardware and rewiring and customizing the electrics to my liking . You know, since Fender will never do it . I come to find myself buying a shit load of guitars as of late . Think it's time I pull the trigger and make one .
