[NAMM] Haywire Stratotelia

The Stratotelia guitar is designed to combine elements of a Stratocaster and a Telecaster.

A player can explore more of both guitars in one instrument. One key feature unique to this particular guitar is the ability to accommodate either a 25–1/2" (Fender) or a 24–3/4" (Gibson) scale neck with no body or neck modifications, the company says. Players can choose between a Strat or Tele headstock. The solid six-saddle Tele bridge is designed to create sustain and allow for precise intonation, unlike the standard 3-saddle Tele bridge. Sustain is supposedly further enhanced by way of its string through body design. Roller saddles are an available option for less friction in tuning as well as different hardware color.

The Stratotelia by Haywire Custom Guitars is available with either alnico or active EMG 3 pick up configuration. The active EMG pickups are said to be noiseless, internally grounded and each pick up has its own pre-amp to boost the signal before reaching the amp—producing even more sustain, the company says. The pickups are wired to five-way switching, with a tone control wired to the Tele® bridge pickup.
