  • Description: This unique double-neck Telecaster® / Electric Xll is a one-of-a-kind instrument specially designed and built by Master luthier Fred Stuart in late 1991 (completed in January 1992). The guitar features a beautiful asymmetrical double-cut, one-piece see-thru blond light-ash body with wonderful bluish 'veins' showing through. It weighs 13.40 lbs. On the Telecaster® side, rounded edges on the back and on the Electric Xll, a contoured edge on the bass side, so that the body contours reflect the half of the instrument they represent. Both of the necks are hand-carved from solid lightly-figured maple and have 'slab' rosewood fretboards. The Telecaster® neck has a wonderfully thin-to-medium profile (similar to a '66) and a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches. The Electric Xll neck has a very comfortable medium profile and a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches. Both have a scale length of 25 1/2 inches and 21 medium frets with white dot position markers. The Telecaster® with a single-coil "Tele®" pickup encased in metal shell in the neck position with an output of 8.60k and a single-coil 'Broadcaster' style flat-pole bridge pickup with 'copper base' and a huge output of 10.21k in the bridge position. The Electric Xll with three early-to-mid sixties style white-plastic covered Stratocaster® pickups - the neck and middle with staggered poles and the bridge pickup with flat poles. Single-layer black plastic pickguard (for both guitars) with seven screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) plus five-way 'Tele®' style pickup selector switch with black plastic 'top-hat' tip and a three-way mini switch for neck selection, all on metal plate adjoining pickguard. Fifties style 'Tele®' knobs with domed tops and knurled sides. Telecaster® with late sixties style bridge assembly with three 'grooved' steel saddles and Tele® base. Electric Xll with Fender® twelve steel-saddle combined bridge/tailpiece. This unique guitar is in mint (9.50) condition. Housed in its original Fender® custom made 'Tan' hardshell case with imitation brown leather ends and yellow/orange plush lining (9.25). This exceptional double-neck guitar was the only one ever built with these features… (01282).
