Some of you may be aware of these guitars, they are sold by "Guitar Garage" and a re made up from parts, usually with a lovely USA Fender neck, like this one has. I have the original description from the seller, which cover every detail -
We are head over heels in love with this combination of custom-made offset body from highly resonant alder and a truly unique Chameleon Purple to Green sparkle metallic gloss finish. The sparkle has that cool 3D effect and the guitar changes colour depending on the angle and lighting. Complemented by a unique single-ply "cloudy" white pickguard, this guitar has a truly special look.
Comfy C-shape maple neck comes from a 2022 Fender American Performer Stratocaster. Bend-friendly 9.5-inch fretboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets make this a true pleasure to play. Truss-rod is conveniently adjusted at the headstock, the neck is straight as an arrow and the neck pocket fit is perfect and snug.
Tuners are made by Sperzel USA and are considered to be the best locking tuners money can buy. These have matt black finish and staggered post design to allow better string angle at the nut. Neck has a cool satin finish that makes it non-sticky on the sweatiest of gigs.
Electrical voice is kindly provided by a set of hand-wound late 1960s style single-coil Telecaster pickups - twangy but not harsh, rich yet detailed, powerful but still articulate.
Wiring is all high-quality USA-spec components, with CTS A250K vintage style "dimple" pots, Oak 4-way switch. Green Hornet ceramic capacitor and Electrosocket output jack mount.
4-way wiring provides those 3 classic Telecaster sounds (neck,neck+bridge in parallel, bridge) and also offers a very powerful humbucker-like tone, where both pickups are connected in-series, doubling the output and really driving the amp. This setting is especially awesome thanks to the perfect balance of bright and detailed bridge pickup, warm and full neck pickup and the absence of the mid-scoop and volume drop, which you always get in the traditional middle position when pickups are connected in parallel.
The bridge is a classic 50s design and has thick high-quality base plate to proper string-to-body coupling. The brass saddles provide a warmer tone and also have compensated design to help achieve much better intonation across the fretboard.
