The flock

What is the middle guitar out of interest? Looks like a Tele neck but I don't recall Fender making that body shape.

It's a loose tribute to the limited run custom guitars of Paul Bigsby. The pickups are Bigsby replicas by TK Smith. https://tksmith.net/
I've been searching for a luthier that's willing to make a neck to match the body but haven't found one yet. (The originals were neck through).
Leo and Paul were mates and shared a lot of ideas about early electric guitar design. Leo went for the mass market while Paul did unique one-offs for the Country stars of the day. He actually made a lot more pedal steels than standard guitars.

I’ve seen pics of the Paul Bigsby guitars. Nice tribute!
