Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
Got all my Teles for really good prices.
MIM 50s Classic. £250 used. Stock apart from 4 way switch, bone nut and leather guard
MIM Standard. £180 used. Modded with new bridge, 4 way, Lawrence Keystones, bone nut and another leather guard
Another MIM Standard. £150 used. Now an Esquire.
Finally last week picked up a user Squier Classic Vibe 50s. £130. Stock apart from new strings and a white guard
Might do a bit of swapping round with these though soon.
I quite like the Classic Vibe, the bridge pickup is ace, but the neck not so. Think this one will become the Esquire, the wine red one will get the Keystones and a leather guard, and the black one will get turned into a late 1970s style black tele. I love all black Teles.

Figured I'd post this one here, as well. Just a couple updates, appearance-wise. Corvette 427 air cleaner decal and a white guard...
Damn kids, get off my lawn!

I love Teles. I just have my trusty stock 2000 American at the moment, but GAS strikes often.

My first guitar was a Jazzmaster.
I always wanted the best playable guitar and came up with a Tele, but one day I'd like to own a Jazz and I'd have the ultimate pair.
Telecasters are the ultimate 'get any tone' guitar (except it takes tinker with pedals for certain other more compressed sounds).

Yeah, teles!
Here's my latest- a £35 Squier that I just had to give the fluorescent treatment!
Crap camera photo, sorry. Weighs a ton, plays and sounds great- rewired with 5-way strat switch and push-pull pot.
