1980s Custom Built Telecaster with 59 Baby Pickup Dan Smith

There are a lot of “Frankenstein” guitar builds around.

Some exist because a certain piece has been acquired without the benefit of the rest of the original guitar. Some exist because the folks that enjoy guitar repair wind up with a set of parts that go together.

All the “Frankenstein” builds have something interesting.

At that point, there is no guilt in swapping parts, after all,

it is not original.

Almost all have interesting paint jobs because they are not hindered by expectations.

Dan Smith brought one in because he likes the luthier,

he likes the sound and the blue is very pretty.
