The 70s Telecaster Customs of OSG (and famous users)

[serial]

My '78 (w/a super clean and super lightweight '77 Strat)

This is my old tele custom. Was a right royal pain in the ass

Ha! did you actually sell it to Tim Rodgers? That's amazing!

Do new Squiers count? I know the Wide Range in the neck isn't close to vintage specs but I still love the way it sounds, especially in the middle position. I've got a 50's Baja tele that I'm sure is super jealous that this guy is getting more playing time than it recently.

Here is my 72RI tele custom next to the 62RI tele custom. There is nothing else like that middle pickup position with the combination of the WRHB and the tele bridge pickups.

That's pretty cool man. I guess he just loves his JMs and Crockenbackers.

hey guys.. i'm new here and have always been a tele guy. good friend of mine has a few JM's and i like the feel of it, just not the sound so much. toying with the idea of a telemaser.. but anyways heres my mid 70's ibanez tele custom. love this thing

Is this Mohamad Ali ?

Looks more like Cassius Clay.

He was the greatest tele player ever. Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton got all their tricks from him.

my '74 is pretty light (might be the hollow spaces of the wood worms?!) and very resonant.
better saddles might be a good option too...

keep 'em coming!

I can only envision the next step in the quest for the ultimate relicing process will be to purposely induce woodworm damage; with websites popping up offering worm-based relicing services and tone-inducing claims associated with certain strains of worms

awww man... hurts to see my old deluxe on page 2. One of the big mistakes of my gear addiction was to sell that guitar.

a squier affinity that a dude gave to me that I modded into a tele custom: my favourite looking tele

[nrs24985]

I find it odd that no one has mentioned the aluminum neck Kramer bass the bassist in the Ali pick is sporting!

[CptEggo]

we aren't all aluminium nerds

Here's a pic of the Mongrel now that it's finished. It's my #1 and I can't really imagine anything knocking it down for awhile.
