First Soft V neck Custom TeleStrat

This guitar, featured on the home page, was the first Custom Telecaster put together. Built in the early 1970's it features a prototype matched set of Seymour Duncan pickups with the neck and middle pickups done reverse wire/reverse pole. The pickups also featured a lower G string pole piece to balance the volume made by an unwound G string. It was originally wired by George with a 5-way Strat pickup switch that had the bridge pickup placed in the center position.
