Hybrid Barnwood Telecaster - Strat Routed Tele

One-Off Barnwood Guitar – Salvaged, Rewired, Reborn

Handbuilt in North Devon | Tele-Strat Hybrid | Raw Tone & Rebellion

In an age of factory clones and sterile perfection, this guitar stands as a defiant resurrection. A Telecaster silhouette fused with Stratocaster guts, it was born not in a glossy workshop but in a shed in North Devon—crafted from salvaged roofing timber and the shattered remains of a Strat body that refused to die.

This isn’t a guitar that hides its scars. It wears them proudly. Every nick, every grain of weathered barnwood, every improvised detail tells a story of reclamation and raw intent. It’s not just an instrument—it’s rebellion wired into wood.

For players who crave authenticity over artifice, this one-off barnwood Tele-Strat hybrid is more than a tool—it’s a manifesto.
