So many awesome tele pics.

I need a tele again

[adamajah]

Beauty! That looks amazing.

Some dope tele's round hea' fo sho!

Very nice. You like the roasted maple? Is it from USACG? I wanna use one on my jagstang build.

I went with musikraft bc it was a bit cheaper for what i wanted - light roast with minimum sealer coat. I wasn't sure a roasted neck would be all that different but it's way noticeable - like different guitar noticeable. It feels like a smooth piece of driftwood and made the tele brighter and more resonant.

Also, is that strap from Original Fuzz? I have one of their Peruvian ones and love it.

Yes my wife got it for me last xmas. So far my fave strap. I like the pattern you got!

Ah, Musikraft was the priciest when I checked but they make great stuff. And good call on the light roast and light seal - it looks great. I did a single coat of truoil on my canary neck to seal it (Warmoth says you can leave it raw but I didn't want to chance it), and I won't go back to fully finished necks for my own builds again. Just feels better to me this way.

Not pretty shots by any means due to broken/awful camera, but here's my beater '82 T-60. It's been modded and parts swapped over the years, but it always holds a special place as the first "real" guitar I bought for myself.

I got a new tele too! My phone takes garbage pictures but you get the idea. The wide ranges sound cool especially the neck. Gonna mess around with adjusting the bridge pickup a bit but that'll be tomorrow.
Now I just need some cowboy boots.

Some cool Teles on that last page. That MIJ 62 Custom is hawt, but I needs more details on this Deluxe. What? Where? How?

Well it's not vintage or anything so don't get too excited It's a stock Classic Series reissue. Made in Mexico in 2013 or '14. Found it used at Cream City Music here in Milwaukee for a price I couldn't pass up. Fat one piece maple neck and heavy alder body that sustain real nice. Gonna use it for me and my wife's doom-humpin' band we're working on so it's tuned B-F#-B-E-G#-C# with some ernie ball not-even-slinkys. The stock bridge pickup isn't doing it for me so I've got a replacement incoming. It would probably be ok for country picking stuff but I need beefy palm mutes. The neck humbucker is amazing though, really loving it and I could honestly get away with only using that for everything. Sounds great and absolutely crushes with fuzz.

Sounds like you got yourself a good deal.

Sweet. Which finish is yours? That neck pickup is the business, im telling ya.

[omarwhite]

I recently grabbed a tele custom reissue also. swapped out the pickups tho. put a Zombie Dust LSD in the bridge and removed the neck pickup. took out all the tone pots and upgraded a single volume pot to 500K and this thing slays.

[3waytie4last]

Plus about a half dozen more around somewhere.

[tabcantab]

Oooh...what’s the butterscotch 3 pickup one on the wall? That combo of headstock and body shape is wacky. Good wacky.

[3waytie4last]

Campbell American Transitone. You can set the switches to play all three pickups at once.

Thanks, man. Seafoam Green on that strat with a mint guard. Looks much cooler in person than in that photo.
