Here's the ones I have photos of:

theses are beauties, not beasts!

No better picture I can find. I am the proud owner of both teles in this here picture. Saxophone is not my bands, unfortunately.

now thats what I'm talking about!

At the moment it's just a MonsterTele vision

My resurrected project for the New Year....



I've toyed with a couple of other project ideas but this ones stuck.

★ Rosewood neck.
★ CBS-esque headstock
★ Block inlays, no binding.
★ Kluson/Gotoh tuners.
★ TV Jones or Filtertron pickups.
★ Mustang bridge.
★ Bigsby B5 or B50.
★ Pelham Blue or greener Charcoal Frost (like Stereordinary's recent paintjob).
★ Contoured body around arm (front) & waist (back) like Jazzmasters.
★ Mint green or parchment guard.

There may be other ways of going about it but at the moment it's looking like a complete build from top to bottom. So far I've priced it up at around £450.

So long as they're held in with gaffer tape like the ones on there now - then yes

In that case, Def Crank Without Mercy.

Eskimo- It's an old Dearmond gold foil from (I assume) a Harmony Rocket.

If for whatever reason I part with my JM someday, this will happen to my tele. Hell, I may do it anyway.

Not too extreme, but this one has a Hipshot B Bender that I installed.

so thats got the leg lever for the b-bender, the drop D thing, and what does the lever on the top do?

weed_killer wrote:Alright, I've been waiting for this thread! I have a strange relationship with Tele's. I've never really cared for the standard model, but I always dug the 70's Customs. Another reason I might like mine so much is that it's so far removed from standard that it's almost a different guitar. I also see we're both part of the TOM's on Fenders club. Here's my Ibanez/Squier/Fender/Teisco Tele Custom:

Very nice (as are all the rest in this thread!). What pickup do you have in the bridge? the metal ring (?) around it adds that certain something that my tele is missing.
