I'm just a guy who wanted to build an offset Telecaster style guitar. Hope you'll enjoy the video.
CONTEST:
By buying a merch on Teespring or the plan on my shop, your will enter in the random draw to win the surf green guitar (finished, of course). It will be a normal tele with a 3 way switch and standard pickups and tuners. But, I think it's really worth it.
!! Please be aware that I'll only contact you directly via email, so don't be fooled by potential bots spamming in the comments !!
I hope there will be enough purchases to at least cover the shipping costs, lol.
Good luck!
Thanks a lot for watching my videos. I hope to be able to continue for a long time now that I have time...

!!IMPORTANT!! A viewer contacted me on Instragram to tell me that he had to pay customs fees for the socks (EU) !!! No problem for t-shirts or caps though. Also, TeeSpring changed its privacy policy recently and I no longer have the rights to access the list of customers who have purchased merchandise. So the contest is over :( If you've bought merch, come and tell me on Instagram instagram.com/archimbaud_guitars/ or by email helloedouardarchimbaud@gmail.com I'm really sorry, but you can still buy merch if you like, or the Mariposa plan will remain online on my shop (and I do have access to the data...). Thank you very much for your support, viewing and subscription. Thank you very much and see you soon!

i love the ambition and persistence you've got. this guitar looks awesome and i love the idea of changing the tele's design so much while still retaining the core elements - this guitar pretty much fixes all of my personal issues with teles. keep doing what you're doing!

These are very sensible modifications. I look forward to your further work. Some of your innovations, like the belly cut, arm contour, and the wiring addition may be inspired. That's as good as art gets, my friend. Liked and subscribed!

Really excellent video, and a very ambitious project. It was inspiring to see you struggle thru this project and arrive at a final result that made you happy. The guitar sounds awesome, and the song you wrote to demonstrate the sounds was pleasant and well produced. Wonderful work!

Edouard, it's a pleasure to see you grow and thrive as a guitar builder, problem solver and a creator: I think the best part of this video was seeing how you made a life decision when the universe also made one for you. Not everyone who loses their employment are able to pull something positive from that experience but you managed to do it and I hope your path forward is full of inspiring guitar builds! BTW, I dig the unicorn vomit pickguard: any consideration for making some for your Reverb store?

Thank you very much, it means a lot. It was a challenging time, to be honest, but I also needed a change. I don't know how far it will go, but I'm trying to see it as an opportunity. Thank you for your comment. And for the pickguards, listen, that's a great suggestion, and I've received some similar feedback like yours on Reddit. I'm thinking of offering them for sale; it could be a good idea. If you're interested, we can discuss it directly. My email is on my channel.

Love your work Edouard. For me, your guitar looks a lot better than the Meteora. You have blended together all the good things that Leo and George gave us with the Tele and Strat. I can see both those guitars in your build. My Custom version of your guitar would add ... middle pickup, five way switch, all black gloss finish with 3 ply black-white-black pickguard, and single piece cream maple neck. And it would be called the TeleStrat. I reckon that if Leo and George had come up with this design back in the 1950s, Fender never would have needed to produce both a Telecaster line and a Stratocaster line. Cheers from the Land Down Under.

Super boulot! Je fabrique mes guitares aussi depuis qques années et je sais à quel point ce travail peut être frustrant, c'est à chaque fois une petite aventure... Gratifiante à la fin, mais qui demande pas mal de courage l'air de rien, surtout quand on n'a pas toujours tout le matos au top etc. C'est courageux de passer le cap et de tenter le côté pro! Sinon, Le design offset+tele c'est le meilleur des deux mondes à mon avis, j'ai toujours adoré! Bonne continuation à toi :)

To me, I think most people associate the name with the body shape. like superstrats are nothing like strat in terms of sound and hardware, but still has the name strat attached to it.

Yeah you're probably right, but the Telecaster is special because we often hear “the Telecaster sound”, which comes mainly from its pickups

I agree with some of this, but not all: offsets look good, but Telecasters need to look like Telecasters so I'd keep the shape the same. I took a belt sander to mine, to make a forearm contour and belly cut, making it a lot more comfortable. The heel is annoying. My Squier Jim Root Tele has a rounded heel, which is better.

the switch is in the way, needs to be re-positioned (on the next guitar of course)
@FrenchGuitarGuy 8 ай бұрын
Yep, you're right. Someone on reddit told me that it's like a strat knob. It's not as bad as a strat, but definitely something I have to reconsider 🙂
@nitrogen_777 8 ай бұрын
For me personally the positioning of the input jack on the front side is not an improvement at all, but quite the opposite. I would rather make two control knobs for volume and tone and the 3-way toggle switch instead of uncomfortable blade switch. The aligment of the bridge pickup is to my opinion also wrong, it makes the treble strings sound more harsh.
@FrenchGuitarGuy 8 ай бұрын
That's interesting, I didn't think of that. I personally like the front output because you can play sitting down with the jack not getting in the way. But that's personal taste :)
