It's funny how a little twist on an established design can sometimes give it a lease of new life. From Germany, this Schwarz Custom Guitars Supercharger "Little Charlie" model takes a Bigsby-equipped Telecaster Thinline and gives it the offset waist treatment. Design-wise it works beautifully; you have to question why no-one thought of it before. (Or perhaps they did... observations on this matter in the comments please!) The guitar also features a pair of Charlie Christian style pickups, which I'd imagine are the reason for its "Little Charlie" nickname.

Priced at €2390 and available via Vintage & Rare. See www.schwarz-custom.de and/or www.gitarren-studio-neustadt.de for further information.
