gah, I want another Tele. I'm totally okay with having traded my old nice one for the '65 Jazzmaster, but now I have a big gap. MOAR TELE!

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thre
I've been mucking around with several different layouts and colour schemes for this one for a while now... but I finally think I'm happy with it.
Fender Highway One Body and Neck, Seymour Duncan Hotrails in both neck and bridge positions, Volume with no tone, 3-way toggle switch, Etched Bakelite Pickguard.
I had a Gibson LP I just couldn't get along with (I'm a Fender guy through and through) so I ditched it and assembled this Tele to replace it.
Of course, it's not the same thing as an LP, but for my purposes it's close enough. It's pretty grunty and you can get it to scream if need be...

Love that baritone. I've been thinking real hard about building myself a baritone tele lately.lastlol wrote:My Tele family

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thre
I don't think i've ever posted on this thread before...
Here are my 2 Teles...
1. Fender Telecaster
- Ash body from a Baja Tele and a '69 RI Thinline neck
- '69 RI Thinline hardware
- Lollar VIntage T pickups
- CTS 250k pots with a greasebucket tone circuit (love those things)
This is my dream Tele, I tried to make it look like a 1969 (ish) one...
2. Fender Telecaster Deluxe
- Lollar Regal WRHB pickups
- CTS 1Meg pots with greasebucket tone circuits
This is so F##KING loud as compared to my other guitars, but I usually run a compressor anyway, so it's alright. Those Regals are just amazing too... cost me $400, but they're worth it.

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thre
My tele is by far my favourite guitar. Weedy, compared to my Jag or PRS, but man, she can play.

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thre
Nice guitars! I have a regal on the neck position of my MIJ telecaster custom, and I agree, that pup is amazing. I'm thinking of getting either a tele deluxe or a 72 thinline and modding it with regals.22danielp wrote:I don't think i've ever posted on this thread before...

My 2012 AmStd.
Got it used, got it mint, it's definitely the nicest guitar I own (though not my favorite, that'd be my LP Classic or LP Studio 60's Tribute).
