Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
Here's my latest partscaster Esquire:
It's got an old rockinger neck, a gfs paulownia body in daphne blue and kluson hardware. Pickup is a Dimarzio DP112. This guitar sounds awesome. Super snappy, dynamic and resonant and it's so much fun to play with the different tonal options from just one pickup with the 3-way switch.

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thre
Thanks, Maggie! This is the first guitar that I put together. The body is a USACG two-piece swamp ash body. which I finished in garnet shellac, and wipe-on poly. The neck is an Allparts TMO-FAT neck, finished in amber shellac and nitro. The bridge is a Glendale with Aluminum/Brass/Brass saddles, and the pickups are Lawrence Keystones. I wired it with a 4-way switch which I love!
Cheers

Every time I sell a Tele I kick myself.
I should just build one this time

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
Here are mine.
90's American Standard. Completely stock except for the dumb straplocks that came with it. This is my appliance guitar. Boring, but slices though anything, and is built like a tank. Lots of little dings and checking on the neck from being in semi-heated practice spaces. It even has some forearm wear on the poly finish.
Craigslist partscaster. I think all the stuff is from Best Guitar Parts with woodburned birds. This one is getting Fralin Big Singles soon. This one of my favorites at the moment. It's light and resonant and has a chunky neck. It'll look way better with chrome pickups and a chrome ring to match the bridge.

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
that's a very strange reflection on the bridgeplate of that second telecaster.
It allmost seems like a drawing.
Is that guitar haunted?

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
Here's my recent take on the Tele Deluxe. It turned out to be a beautiful player, and I feel the colour combo is pretty unique. The only thing I'm considering changing is installing some Creamery Starcaster Wide Range pickups (lower output than standard wide-range), because it's a tad boomy in the neck at present.
Warmoth body - alder, Vintage White (poly)
Musikraft neck - 7.25" radius, '65 asymmetric neck profile (nitro)
Period incorrect decal (because I love the Transition Period look, and I'm not trying to pass it off as the real thing)

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
Man I remember seeing this pic years ago and it just stuck with me, I've been periodically searching for it ever since. Might be the coolest and most tastefully unique finish I've ever seen on a guitar. Mind letting us know how it was done?
and yeah I know, it's 6+ years later but hey, might as well try right

Wow, this thread has been quiet.
I probably posted these pix elsewhere, but what the hell, me like Tele stuff.
