I mean, it's an Esquire with a few extra bits of wood here and there, right?

^ that’s sick.

I finally got off my rump and reassembled this, with a fresh 24.75 baked maple and rosewood neck. I wish it made me feel more whole, but eh, it’s just a guitar.

Avocado vibes!

Indeed.

I love this thread.
I've been playing this a lot since it had a refret.

I think one of those superflux electra/ibanez pickups in the neck would look the part.
Really cool concept none the less

Man, that pickup does look cool, I haven't seen one before. I already have the AVRI JM pickup tho - wouldn't know where to find the Ibanez.

Spent some quality time with this one today. Bottom of the line, cheap pickups and hardware, thrashed to death, absolute magic.

I've had my endgame tele for a year or so now.
'66. lightweight. ultra beat.





When this arrived, I had a player grade '56, a '68 in lake placid blue, and a '69 sunburst custom.

I don't own, or think about those guitars any more.

That’s gorgeous

I’ve been eyeing up a 70s tele in the same colours. It’s so tempting.

Unrelated: I’ve recently discovered that a belly cut solves all the awkwardness of the shape.

That must be some Tele!

tv that certainly looks like the Tele to end up with. What a monster.

is that an 83/84 Dan Smith top loader?

Well it is an early 80s top loader, but it’s a Fender Japan TL43. You’ll understand how thrashed it is when I tell you it’s Sonic Blue under the pickguard.

Seriously?! That’s wild.
