Cabronita means "little devil" or "little bastard" in Spanish. It can refer to a style of Telecaster guitar that looks much like a Tele but also isn't much like a Tele in many of its appointments (a la, the devil is in the details...). While it may be hard to believe, the stunning back of this guitar is a single piece of Magnolia. [Our "Parakeet" line is Canary wood over Lowcountry harvested Magnolia, from our friends at Lowcountry Raw Lumber in Pritchardville.]
A cabronita should be somewhat befuddling (at least to the Tele purist) while also being delightful in its differences. What?! No Tele bridge pickup? Oh, wait, is that a TV Jones humbucker set? (Yes it is!) That bridge? It's a 12 string bridge -- the standard strings are through-body and the octave strings backload on the bridge. All you need is a 12 string neck and 6 more strings...if you bring 'em, I'll put them on. Our Parakeet styled Cabronita should delight guitar enthusiasts of any preference.
With great power comes great responsibility -- the knobs go to 11, so be careful. ;-)
