Lovely!
One of the few exceptions where I prefer the look of a maple neck over a rosewood one. I'm still not a fan of how maple feels though.

Same here (though not an exception), I actually had to sell my make fretboard guitars because I disliked the touch... Maybe it was just the lack of raw wood. Should try baked make.

thanks! yeah, I am normally firmly in the rosewood fretboard camp - Tele Deluxes are my big exception.
maybe just a more straight ahead Tele, too, but I still think I'd always go for a rosewood board.
this one doesn't feel too weird - maybe just because it's over 40 yo and has been played a good deal?
here's a question for ya - what's more aesthetically displeasing - one of the new Jazzmasters with maple fretboards, or a custom color Strat with a maple fretboard and matching headstock?

The latter. I really like maple boards, but those constellations you mentioned are nasty.
Congrats on your new guitar! I'd love to have one too

Thanks, dudes! This thing really is sounding great.
Played it through a bandmate’s high-powered tweed-type amp last night - just KILLER.

Killer.
At first I wondered why you'd photographed it in a rubber life raft. Then I came to my senses.

thanks, folks!
I currently have the wound E string off this guitar and am Keith Richards-ing my ass off with it - perfect for that sound.

Wow, that's a beauty. I normally am not a big fan of telecasters aesthetically, but for some reason I love the tele deluxes. I think I'm in the minority that really likes that huge 70s headstock.

the headstock is a huge reason for me why i love the tele deluxe!!! (that said, i've warmed up to teles and their little headstock over the years. mostly after i bought a tele and realized it's basically the best guitar i've ever played in 20 years)
