When I first saw this I had the same reaction. Wtf is this mystic shit and why is it over $100 more? They must of added "magic" in the paint and a hint of more glitter. haha

(dumb question not worth starting a thread for, and this seems almost appropriate...)

in general, will a Strat neck fit on a Tele body with no problems? any combinations that won't work for sure? i love the look of the early 70s Tele Deluxe, but the pick guard makes me ill. might consider building something custom in the future.

Tele neck will fit on strat
Strat neck won't fit on tele without routing the neck pocket.

That's how it used to be, maybe fender got smart somewhere along the way and programmed the cnc machines to make the heels the same.

THE MEXICAN BODY MADE OF ALDER IS 169.99 WITH NO STUPID FUCKING EXTRA ROUTE IN IT.

SUCK MY BALLS ITS ALL MADE OUT OF THE SAME FUCKING TREE. FUCK.

They've made it so you can do a standard Tele, Fat Tele or Nashville Tele, and also included a micro-tilt. No mojo but ultimate versatility for a project.
And the Mexican body does have annoying superflous CNC routes, as on the CV Tele... only certain vintage reissues/US standards don't now, I think, not even sure anymore.

I thought it was the other way around. a strat neck is like a tele neck that's been rounded off. so basically a strat neck will fit in a tele route with some space. but a tele neck cant fit in the slightly smaller strat route.

^Dat

Tele heel is longer than Strats, but a Strat heel's deepest point (the tip of the rounded bit) is at the same distance from the last fret as the Tele's is, so you can put a Strat neck on a Tele so the screw holes line up and it'll intonate fine, but there will be gaps galore and it won't be the most stable setup. To put a Tele neck on a Strat you either have to sand the heel curvy or route the neck pocket.

Can't believe I wrote that. You are totes right and I am literally losing my mind apparently.

First we got old, now we get ignored. It's the cycle of life.

its actually the exact opposite but either way i didn't feel right having the neck not locked in place when i put a strat neck on a tele. kind of unsupported. probably just in my head though

thanks for the info on the Tele/Strat necks!

i remember a friend putting together this combination about 15+ years ago, but now that you mention it i do recall something being "not right" about it.

looks like my plans have changed a bit.

They've put that in the product description for fender-licensed parts (allparts, etc) for years.

Yes, but unlike those parts, this is a $400 dollar body, worth more than an entire Squier guitar. This is why I laugh.
