Show me yours, I'll show you mine (TELE content)

Post by ohm-men » Tue Aug 05, 2008 4:23 am

Ok, these are mine
Image
Left: DIY thinline Tele from Paduak, Made the body myself, neck was a gift from a friend. Std US Fender Neck Pu, QP SD in the bridge. 50ties tele wiring.and Tung oil finish
Right : Rumanian made tele copy from the 60ties or early 70ties. Brand is "Hora" (which is something I would not adress a woman in Sweden with)
I totally refinned it, neck + body in white blonde. Replaced the tuners, cut a wooded nut for and put a leftover TOM on. Replaced the most horible Floating trem with a arch top stop tail from the 40ties which I found at the garbage. Weird and superb sounding instrument. Instant 50ties sounds from it....I put the TOM on some wooden blocks and want to keep it this way, though with a better look.

I love that Romanian Tele copy Ohm-men.

Here's my Strawberrycaster. It's a Mexican Tele that I refinished in black nitro and then I put a strawberry waterslide decal that I found in my grandmothers cabinet.

very cool, especially since the decal came from your grandmother. I love black tele's with maple boards.

Here's mine, a '96 Tex-Mex Tele Special stock. 5-way gets a great range of tones.

Mim standard, gunpower refinish, 4 way switch, and fancy knobs.

Image
MIM 50's tele, with black guard, for mojo, and 6 saddle mIM standard bridge for comfort and intonation.

Image

Squier Tele custom II, nothing swapped out or anything, but purposefully rendered "unsellable" so i never make that mistake.
I prefer their older stuff.
