Cabronita Telecaster Partscaster Review:    • Who is this Sara Ray? | Fender La Cabronit...

The Fender Parallel Universe Troublemaker Telecaster has to be one of the most requested guitars to be featured on WYRON / Fender Friday. The reason for this, is I'm mainly a Gibson guy and people wanted to know my thoughts on this Tele/LP Mash Up.

At first, I didn't really think it was that much like a Les Paul and I thought it was kind of ugly. However, the more I looked into it, the better it got. It has the Les Paul bridge and tailpiece as well as control layout with the pickup selector in the LP upper bout position (cool.) However, this is what impressed me. The woods are the same as on an LP. Mahogany body, maple top, rosewood fingerboard and a mahogany neck.

On first glance, the neck just looked like a really dark maple and I didn't realize it was even mahogany. I generally associate a much darker color - but mahogany is mahogany!

This model really reminds me of the 1980s Fender model called the Telecaster Elite with active pickups! Not quite the same, but for some reason they seem related!

For this model to have been cool enough to buy - Fender should have adopted the Gibson 24.75" scale length, bound the fretboard, had an Elite's styled pickguard (more akin to an LP,) set neck construction, and instead of string trees, tilted the headstock back. This would have made the guitars more desirable to collector's.

Overall, I think it is quirky, but I wouldn't buy one personally - and there seems to be MANY of these guitars still sitting brand new waiting for homes.
