post your MONSTER TELES!

what is it about a tele that makes them so easy to violat, er, modify? is it the simple block of wood? is it that theyve been around for 60 years? who knows!
all i know is that many of you have made delicious disgusting inspiring repulsing amazing tele creations, and i want to see them! bring me your molested, broken, beautiful monsters.

Re: post your MONSTER TELES!
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:

actually, the neck pocket had been halfway destroyed from a previous owner, and andrewdoeshair fixed it and set it up to take a strat neck, so there's no gaps.ESKIMO ROBOCOP wrote:yes! mines actually a roller tune-o. didnt work as well as i would have liked with the bigsby, but with this setup its pretty nice.

Re: post your MONSTER TELES!
ah, fer real? i just assumed the tape was right by the pocket to cover the gap! the "actually getting it fixed" solution is even cooler!weed_killer wrote:

Re: post your MONSTER TELES!
I never thought I'd like a tele with a JM/jag trem on it, but I think I kind of like it on the 70s custom. hmmm.
I am a big fan of the 70s custom / deluxe look.

My tele was an esquire for 12 years. I can't believe I lived without the second pickup for so long.

what is that neck pickup?secndshft wrote:My tele was an esquire for 12 years. I can't believe I lived without the second pickup for so long.
also, eurotrashed, that is pretty much a straight up prototype for a blacktop tele. (in a better color)

Re: post your MONSTER TELES!
The tape is just there because the pickguard is cut up from the former trashed pocket. Another thing our teles share is having a teisco pickup in them. I really like the teisco style red burst on yours too.ESKIMO ROBOCOP wrote: ah,fer real? i just assumed the tape was right by the pocket to cover the gap! the "actually getting it fixed" solution is even cooler!

I think the bigger Custom pickguard balances out the vibrato, whereas it would probably look more awkward with a standard guard.artie wrote:I never thought I'd like a tele with a JM/jag trem on it, but I think I kind of like it on the 70s custom. hmmm.

secndshft, your tele looks really cool with the goldfoil in the neck; how does it sound?
