Notice something different about this here Fender Triplecaster that the Detroit style guitar slinger Olivia Jean is riffing on? This was dropped off to me yesterday by the Fender Custom Shop in Nashville. Why? Because Kirk Hammett (another great Filipino American guitar player like Mz. Olivia here, you may have heard of him) asked them if they could make him a Thinline version of the Triplecaster and if they could also "Make one for Jack too." Kirk asked me if I approved and I of course fully endorse ANY mods done to any of my designs, let alone from the great Hammett, and this one is especially cool because a lot of folks don't know that the Triplecaster is already chambered! Which I added to the design to reduce weight from all the other metal objects happening on it. So all that was needed at the custom shop was to get the patterns out for the F hole and voila. Cool mod, and thank you Kirk for getting me one too, a great match with the CuNiFe wide range pickup like the old '72 tele....
