1961 British Fenton-Weill

Thanks to Pat & Matt form Blighty for helping me out on the first one that I owned. Now I have another...!!! It walked in the friggin' door...!!! This model is unknown. It is not a Tuxmaster or Dual Tone. Do your homework on this one. My old one will pull up somewhere out there in outer space & time. I truly little goldmine at that. The feel is somewhat like an early 60's L/P Junior, but a better player with it's own unique tone... Any more questions, feel free to contact us on the F/W guitar. We usually get back the same day. Thanks, BH

Weird and not particularly desirable to me. Weird floating bridge and neck only pickup suggests jazz, but solid body is a strange choice for that. Anyway, just weird. It is like an Ibanez RG knocked up a Benedetto.
 
A 1961 neck that is smoothly blended into the body like that is seriously ahead of its time. I kinda dig the headstock too
 
I used to love scouring flea markets for old weird guitars. Sadly most of them were hard to play and sounded like shit.
This is no exception. This guy is dreaming.
 
The moment this thread opened, I thought that had to be a Jim Burns guitar.

From what I read online, it seems like most people think of this guitar as a single pickup tuxmaster but it might not have had an actual model name designation at all and this variant didn't have serial numbers. Seems that Fenton-Weill played pretty fast and loose w/ model names and in some cases, the same guitar was sold under different names in different countries.
 
I don’t think it looks good but it’s still pretty cool. But Honkridge is right, that neck joint was years ahead of its time.
