b3 Guitars Telstar | The Music Emporium Exclusive

Imagine someone at Fender unearthing a long-lost prototype that Leo Fender was working on in the years after the launch of the Telecaster on his way to designing the Stratocaster. That, in a nutshell, is the concept the b3 GuitarsTelstar conjures up for us.
The way Gene Baker has blended elements of both designs is so seamless that its easy to imagine this being the missing link between a Tele and a Strat - and - who better to bring this design to life than Gene, the Fender Custom Shop's first Master Builder back in the early days of the Custom Shop?

Looks and sounds fantastic.

I've always wanted such a thing(Being a strat player and loving the sound of a tele) however I would want the classic tele bridge as I always block my trems because I feel like you lose tons of sustain and attack with the trem. A model with a tele neck pickup or mini humbucker would be nice as well!! But as far as best of both worlds I get WHY its the way it is.

Feel I can speak on this a little. I have a Fender Stelecaster very similar to this guitar. It’s hands down one of the best guitars I’ve played. I also own 3 other B3 guitars as well. Gene is an avid player and knows what we want in our hands. The quality is top notch in every aspect. Doesn’t hurt he is a stand up guy and human being. Don’t take my word for it. Try one out for yourself. Told you so

I vaguely recall that Gene Baker designed the Stelecaster.
