Finally got around to taking photos of my '72 Tele...

[RumorsOFsurF]

Where's the brass nut, the zebra humbucker and the Kahler?

What?  You mean some guitars escaped the 70's and 80's unscathed?!?!? 



Gorgeous!!!!

Don't forget the crappy natural refin.

yeah! she's a beaut!
Giving me ideas for my (warmoth) Thinlne Tele with 1978 tele neck--------

[mavsbball]

don't refinish it it looks so sweet the way it is with some relicing. it has some character.

Those pictures look great.

Natural light is always the best.

Em, I was joking!!! This thing's a family heirloom - I'm having a hard time even bringing myself to switching out the dud electronics...

[concrete life]

beautiful.

[Danocaster]

yeah man -

really nice blonde ya got there.

it probably has 1 meg pots - which is great in a JM - but in a tele , MOST people would prefer 250K pots. However, the original are worth quite a bit so you may not wanna ditch em. Stick em in the case for safe keeping or sell em for $100-150 if you are never gonna sell that guitar

I have 4 70s teles - and they all have 250 pots which IMHO is a HUGE improvement

Thanks for the advice! I'm never gonna sell the guitar - my Granddad owned it from new, and gave it to me for my 18th birthday. I'm gonna change all the electrics in it, and keep all the old stuff safe.
