Description: ThisTerry Kath Tribute "Chicago" Telecaster Guitaris a custom build byTriage Guitar Shopof West Palm Beach, Florida. It is anaccurate, but affordable alternativeto the $3,500, $12,000 or $20,000 copies offered. And this onedoes have the Fender Strat Tremolo. This is my third one of these. Here's the review from the first. "Beautiful replica. Exactly as shown and described! fantastic remake at a price I can afford." Here is a list of what we did to replicate this historic icon guitar. We started with a 2021 Squier 50's classic style Telecaster body. Then we searched and found a 2006 Squier neck without the skunk stripe to accurately replicate the original look. This is not a pristine replica, but attempts to mirror the modifications, mistakes and repairs of the original. If you think you can get that tremolo routing right on the first shot, you've never done one. The following mods were made to replicate the original. Squier logo sanded off the headstock, Other logos removed from back of headstock Neck and fingerboard scratched, sanded and age simulated. Frets leveled for clear notes and no buzz, Installed Gotoh 6 in-line chromeSchaller style tuners and infamous 3 winged string trees Pickguard removed and neck pickup replaced with a closedTerry Kath style Alnico 5 chrome humbucker pickup ExistingTele bridge shortenedto allow room for Genuine Fender Strat Tremolo.
