: Hello,
: I was in a guitar shop about 4 years ago and played a telecaster that was designed as a sort of electric-acoustic hybrid. I loved the sound and now I can't seem to find one or even what it was called. I don't believe Fender even makes it anymore. The guitar was almost exactly the same as a telecaster. The body was the same (even the width. except there were no visible pickups or F holes. The top was completely flat. The pickups (I presume) were inside the hollow body. The neck was standard electric style, however the strings were 3 steel (E,A,D) and the other 3 nylon (G,B,E). The cost was very reasonable as well ($250-300). If someone could let me know what this is called, and where I might possibly find one again.

I have a Fender HMT for sale now. It is a little different than the one you described. It is the accoustic/electric made in Japan with 1 humbucker and 1 piezo(I think?) pickup and a Floyd Rose tremelo. Its a very rare guitar, made in early '90's. Great sounding unique guitar. E-mail me if you are interested in more info, pictures, and price.

Re: Looking for Fender Telecoustic HMT - Japanese

I own a telecoustic similar to the one that you describe.
When I bought mine in Jan 1998 there were two options available. One which you describe with just the piezo (?) pickup under the bridge, and a second all steel string guitar with the piezo pickup AND a second single coil in the neck position. Damn fine guitars - soory mine's not for sale! When I bought it it was called a Telecoustic not the type that are avalable now
cheers,
Trev
