I had never heard of an offset telecaster before seeing this one, but I've got to say, I can dig it. It is a weird guitar. I didn't really get the chance to play it for very long, but my first thoughts were, the body shape is a little awkward to sit with, but it felt good on a strap. The strat fin and belly cutaway are nice features to have on this guitar that improve upon some of the faults of the original telecaster design.
This particular run of offset telecasters was a limited edition run from Chicago Music Exchange. In fact, if you're looking at purchasing one of these from CME - this is the EXACT guitar they used for the stock photos to represent them all! Mike said this one had the darkest finish out of the 3 he tried at the store, so despite being a floor-model, he decided to get this one.
There was a little bit of a mishap at check out though! This is when buying a new guitar goes wrong... he grabbed the wrong case and left the store. After realizing what he had done, he took that other guitar back and got his rightful guitar.
This offset tele has Tim Shaw designed V-Mod Series pickups, maple neck and alder body with a walnut finish

Episode Guide: 0:45 When Buying a New Guitar Goes Wrong | 2:30 Why This Guitar is 'Famous' | 3:17 History / Specs | 6:55 Playing Demo | 9:16 Condition Overview Mike brought over 5 guitars to share with us. The rest are Gibsons, but I thought this one was very bizarre so I wanted to share it first. He did the playing for his demos.

THE BUTTERSCOTCH BLOND (YELLOW) IS DUE IN AUGUST ,LIKE THIS ONE HERE BOTH OF MINE ARE EXCLUSIVE TO THE PARTICULAR STORE THAT I ORDERED THEM FROM , THEY'RE BOTH ALSO LIMITED TO A RUN OF 50 EACH COLOR, I COLLECT GUITARS AND SOMETIMES IF A PARTICULAR GUITAR CATCHES MY EYE AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT I'LL BUY IT, IN THIS CASE 1 OF EACH COLOR . THEY'RE CALLED STEALTH TELECASTERS AND THEY ARE WIRED UP WITH A SPLIT COIL POT IN THE MASTER TONE CONTROL. AT $1,599 EACH, IT SEEMS A GOOD PRICE TO ME

[@robguitarwizard]

@@Xxmeca421xX I just bought the Squier version. Paranormal Offset Telecaster. Paid 700AUS. Beautiful guitar!

[@Xxmeca421xX]

@@robguitarwizard I ended up getting the cyclone because it was in my cart and I got a $50 off offer if I pre-ordered. So $350 US it feels great but the pickups and how they're wired is really bad. Sounds like thin muddy garbage with distortion so I'm shopping now for some used ones

[@ZepIV]

I love this kind of guitar. I built myself a Telemaster a few years ago in butterscotch blonde with Texas Special pups and it's become my favorite Fender style guitar. Sooooo much more comfy than a true Tele but with all the grunt. I recommend it to everyone.

[@ZepIV]

All said and done on my end, it was probably around $750. Warmoth body, Mexican Fender neck, locking Fender tuners, Reverb pickups. I do my own wiring and setup so no shop costs on top. I really wanna try one of these American made Telemasters though, they've got a different neck feel than the neck I have (and a proper setup and fret leveling!)

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

I Frankensteined a guitar, too - the body is one of those way-heavier-than-an-Explorer late 70s Hondo 2 Iceman copies, and the neck is from an early 70s Epiphone 335 type. Binding all around, nice mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and block markers, Gotoh hardware, pickups are Ibanez IBZ bridge and V1 neck (honestly, the V1 sounds considerably better than the IBZ). A gigging musician offered me $400 for it and I turned him down.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

I’d almost prefer jazzcaster

[@redbarchettta]

This guitar is beautiful. I love when you talk about Fender guitars.

[@evetsnitram8866]

Elvis Costello, are you checking this out?

[@RicTic66]

I totally agree 😊

[@jspanos500]

The Fender offset is the most comfortable body shape if you are going with something classic. I even prefer it to a modern SG, but only by a hair. These guitars are brilliant because you get those classic Tele sounds without the annoying feeling that you're playing a brick.

[@AnalogReverb]

I was really excited when these were first announced, and came close to pre-ordering one. I called CME because I was concerned that the stock photos on their site (this exact guitar) showed major color discrepancy in the three slabs that make up the body. The sales rep personally went to their warehouse to check multiple guitars to see if he could find a more uniform example, then graciously told me they all kinda have the same issue. I couldn't commit to this guitar, but I walked away very impressed with CME.

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: Thanks for playing part of the demo clean so I could hear what the guitar sounds like. A version with a neck humbucker will probably soon be found hanging around my neck.

[@erickleefeld4883]

Fender's offset guitars and Gibson's "non-reverse" Firebird instruments are really similar in shape.

[@IvanGarcia-qb6hy]

Is it me or that guitar looks amazing

[@timbuk1126]

Yes it does!

[@76seahawk]

Not a abomination !!! Beautiful !!! I just bought a unfinished body to be my next part caster 🤘🏼🔥🔥

[@Kevin-vr9np]

I love it, I love the sound of teles, but the shape doesn't feel comfortable to me, so this is a beautiful pairing of the comfort of the jazzmaster and the sound of the tele.

[@danielsgrunge]

Jag/Jazz bodies are one of the best looking bodies ever made, along with the Mustang

[@strangerdays6105]

I agree! Btw love the Bad Motor Finger channel pic. \m/

[@shaunw9270]

I love my "52 reissue Tele ,which can feel very awkward & unforgiving when compared to modern designs. I do like Fender's mash up guitars ,so yeah I would rock it 👍😊🎸🎶

[@MattSyversonthePaperbackRocker]

Great graphics on the guest story, fun to watch

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

Please more Fender "hipsterish" guitars!

[@furbymetal83]

Most of the time, hybrids between two well known models can be a harsh sight, but this looks great. Tele features with the god tier ergonomics of the jm body works on so many levels . I would go with a bigger headstock though, the large body makes the tele one look tiny.

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

Master Caster.

[@thevoxofreason8468]

My favorite Fender is a Telecaster. I have one that's the only Fender I keep in my "core collection". It's a Ralph Macchio "Crossroads" style, blonde, white gaurd with maple fretboard. I do like this guitar though. I must admit that I'm still kicking around getting one.

[@9wenwilson210]

*TheVoxOfReason* that's sad that you reference or hold in high admiration towards "Ralph Machio" - guess ya don't play, or if learning - pick a better idol.

[@blisterbrain]

9wen Wilson Maybe he was just referencing that to give an idea what it looked like? I haven't seen it, bit supposedly Macchio gave a more convincing performance than usual for Hollywood.

[@9wenwilson210]

blister Michel perhaps, but lame movie in regards to the "myth" - "legend" of crossroads tale. Was a standard Tele, vs. Steve Vai n his custom Ibanez. Who hasn't seen a standard Tele? Trogly was showing a rare, odd,-- how does that compare to a standard Tele ? ok, maybe a newbie , but still should find a better idol, reference, if wants to play.

[@9wenwilson210]

blister Michel well, upon thought, if that motivates him to play, explore, good. just lots other ways to be influenced, inspired from my point of view. I been playing, gigging ,etc for many years. That movie is 20 plus years old, so maybe "vintage" in others eyes. I apologize - whatever it takes to want to play - each his own path.

[@thevoxofreason8468]

9wen Wilson ....hahahahaha! I have been playing for over 30 yrs, have toured , recorded and have a decent understanding of music theory. What's sad is you assume I like Ralph Macchio as what..???? A guitarist??? He never played a real note in the film...Steve Vai did. Were you joking??? I'm laughing my @$$ off!!!

[@bobisadrummer]

I've played that exact guitar! Those offset tele's and the walnut Gibson ES336's they have are really something else.

[@PhishyBongwaters]

was not expecting the first few bars of a Phish tune in this video. Pleasantly surprised

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

The Fender Custom Shop was building these Telemasters in the late 90s...there's a bunch out there.

[@sassycat]

Great clean tones, I enjoy the forays into the non-Gibson world.

[@travisguide4516]

I think you can really get more into fender guitars just as much as gibsons they are fun for me to collect

[@ludwigvistilite]

I am a Gibson guy, but love the sound of this guitar.

[@wadeguidry6675]

I'm a Fender guy. I love it!

[@PilotFlying1]

I recently bought something similar. It has a Telecaster body and a Jazzmaster neck, plus the jazzmaster singlecoil in the neck position.. sounds unbelievable awesome! Did some research on it and it’s an „Vintage Modified Telecaster Special“.. First I thought someone was just messing around with the guitar, but it was actually sold this way!

[@shamkey9632]

That’s one of the most beautiful guitars i’ve ever see

[@swingset1969]

I love the blend. Most of my Fender/creations blend their designs somehow, this one is the most tasteful and obvious, IMHO.

[@peyotepete6532]

Not crazy about the shape but I dig the finish.

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

I dig this. It somehow looks right.

[@gorlagOv]

I am glad in your newer videos you open up the guitars.

[@Zekie]

why not call it the “Jazzcaster”??

[@Trog]

I would guess that might alienate some beginner players from picking it up think it is 'only for jazz.' Keeping Tele in the title gives it a better marketing vibe in my opinion as most people have heard of a telecaster.

[@_lizard_king]

The Trogly's Guitar Show, Jazzcaster was taken by Warmoth:) So Fender didn’t have other variants:)

[@verdaodamassa]

I prefer Telemaster instead Jazzcaster... This is better!

[@philt4346]

the 'jazz' handle has been pretty toxic for Fender, they already been bit by that.

[@joermnyc]

Could’ve shortened the neck, the Teleguar... or the Jagcaster.

[@glenkepic3208]

I love this but would more if it was a Squire ;) I grew up during Surf's first wave and saw a lot of offsets. My first electric was an Audition Jagalike. Gold Foil pickups. Threw on a set of LaBella flatwounds and learned every Sab and Mountain solo I could. This was late '72. Now, A Squire jagmaster. Yes, I know the Rosdale connection. Was my RF BlueLine axe before a move.

[@MITCHY_B_2003]

I played one of these just recently and Ioved it. The tone @ 8:54 is what I loved about it , and I loved how fat the neck is. Now that’s whole lot of love ❤️

[@alfuzz]

Finally a proper review of thisguitar. Thank you Trogly!

[@lucyfuir6386]

I own A 93 custom shop gibson explorer which was used back in 2000s in a photo shoot by my girlfriend at the time in a national publication.

[@derekhand7904]

That guitar looks sweet

[@betternamechosen5678]

A couple of these have made their way from CME to Australia. I just bought one.

[@NickKBMusic]

Huh my best friend is Mike! Glad you could show off some of his cool toys!

[@enkiea8322]

CME actually has good taste imo. Pretty much every CMS exclusive piece of gear I've seen looks good.

[@BackToTheBlues]

Offsetecaster. As a Telecaster fan I think it's very cool looking - the single coil pickup looks better than the humbucker, that adds too much visual weight to the neck side of the body, but I wish they'd stop mounting Tele neck pickups through the scratchplate - I always liked that look of mystery when they were fixed to the body with the scratchplate then put on top. And I hate the comfort contour cut-outs, Tele players are used to feeling a slab under their arm, some of us like that reassuring feeling. But then, maybe it's aimed to appeal to Jazzmaster/Jaguar players who like the Tele sound...

[@unabonger777]

it sounds great, too.

[@greg7656]

I like it, though I'd like it even more if they did away with the Tele-style chrome plate under the knobs and switch.

[@RasmusRasmussen]

It definitely sounds like a Fender to me, especially clean, it has that rounded out, slightly jangly sound. Cool guitar!

[@MrMjp58]

Wow. A great idea. I love the sound of tele's but can't get on with the blocky shape and poor balance on a strap. This looks like a good compromise. Why not a regular strat shape though?

[@Snakefinger1000]

Call it what you like, I love it

[@CupofCloud]

install a small strangler switch and treble bleed on tone pot, very inexpensive upgrade

[@williamgarrett9479]

With the Jazzmaster's tremolo on it, i would definitely want one...it would make a great surf guitar

[@joethompson2910]

Love it! Add a 2 point fulcrum stratocaster style tremolo in surf green and Id have to have one... ooh la la

[@grajmahal]

I wish you're knowledge and passion for Gibsons was a strong for Fender. I like to listen and watch your little history lessons, and I love Fender guitars. In fact, I would love it if you branched out a bit and started covering more of the "outside the box" guitars from all manufacturers.

[@ihave_noidea]

I'm a Gibson man through and through but I agree. A venture into the vintage lawsuit Ibanez copies would be very interesting to see from him.

[@joethompson2910]

I used to have an Ibanez Off White stratocaster copy with a maple fingerboard, and although it felt and sounded different from the Fender version (which I also had) I wish I would have held on to it.... dang it

[@harryt988]

Interesting show today Nice to see a Fender here and there !

[@jcoulter43]

Grab your vintage Line 6 POD and rock out with this machine (you know going with that whole red bean thing you mentioned) 😉 Not a big fan of the Fender mashups, but this one looks pretty nice. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

[@metalandmixing8856]

Love to see one of these in a semi hollow version

[@jirapatthaenphromrat2910]

Sounds really balanced! Love the clean tone.

[@ioanmilenov9430]

I'd get that in a heartbeat.

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

p90 in the bridge and that would be a great guitar.

[@kronooos0942]

Months later, they did made the Meteora which was basically like this but with a full pickguard

[@littleboi3343]

Reminds me of an Ibanez Talman, which is basically the same thing

[@graxjpg]

Looks like this guitar from around the same time that was sold as a kit in the back of boys life magazine among others. Apparently they were never built correctly so the one I have is one of very very few

[@Antimedal]

Don't get me wrong I like fenders but I doubt I will ever buy another one after what I went through with mine. In 2017 I ended up ordering a Fender Jim Root telecaster since the only music store around me didn't have it. It showed up in 2 days and looked great. But the pickups in it weren't working at all and I changed the battery as well for the emg's but still wouldn't work. So I sent it back and got another one. This one the volume was cutting out, the pickups were wired backwords, and the frets were extremely sharp... So I contacted the company again and got another one. And this one showed up looking great, with the electronics working properly but the hardshell case had 2 latches busted... So I just gave up fighting them and accepted this one. Other than that and sharp frets it was fine. But for paying about 1200 after taxes you'd expect the guitar to have the wiring checked, the pots checked, the fretwires taken care of, and make sure the case was wrapped up well also. So all in all I probably wouldn't order another fender...

[@arthurc1971]

I like it...Ive always played Gibsons but I have owned a strat and a 60s mustang. This guitar looks nice and sounds great...just needs a rosewood fretboard...

[@Guitarman1959]

I like it...brilliant concept ! Fender is taking Reverend Guitars lead here (Jetstream)--nothing wrong with that at all: Reverend has done the same with Pete Anderson Eastsider. This guitar is ripe for the working musician. Fender Guitars & Reverend Guitars rule

[@mikeRgtar]

Walts Synthlab yep! These are definitely awesome modern workhorse guitars in my opinion!

[@craigusselman546]

[@bayougtr]

I’ve been eyeing the Squire bass like this. Never saw the guitar, I like it. Need to get it.

[@scottbulmer7160]

Despite liking offset guitars and loving teles, this guitar wasn't doing it for me. However after coming back to look at the post again, it has kinda grown on me. Walnut is a beautiful wood (just bought a Gibson J-15 acoustic). I imagine it looks much nicer in person. Thanks for the video and everyone have a great day! (P.S. the compensated old style tele bridge is a good idea...has any one had experience with them?)

[@strangerdays6105]

Dash Riprock it’s definitely a weird axe, but i’m a firm believer in actually playing a guitar to form an opinion unless you’re solely basing it on looks. I own a magnificent 7 offset tele and this walnut colored one, and as far as teles go for me I will always put compensated saddles on teles from now on. It makes a world of difference past the 12th fret or on open strings.

[@scottbulmer7160]

Thanks for the info and I must agree Stranger Days ...ya gotta play it. It's funny how some guitars just have that feel and say "play me"...and more often than not it's individualized from player to player.

[@joethompson2910]

I dont really think tele’s were popular based on their looks, at least for me, Ive always thought they were “butt-ugly”, until my younger brother Ted let me play an American “pro” mahogany tele... man..., it sounded BEAUTIFUL & played the same way.... I WISH I would have never handed it back to him, but I didnt realize what I was holding till several years (and tele’s) later! I believe now that it was one of those “magical” guitars.... live & learn..

[@mightyV444]

Very cool! I reckon it should have the Jazzmaster headstock, though; The Tele one looks tiny with this rather large body shape.

[@jacobgonet5071]

[@BlueStratDude]

Is the camera playing tricks or are those strings spaced unevenly? The D and G strings look far apart, while the B and high E strings look close together. If that is in fact the case, I'd want to correct those soon before the saddles get grooves in the wrong spots...
