I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

God I love the look of BMM on a Tele Custom.
There was one just like it used on GuitarGuitar's site a few weeks ago, but I couldn't pull the trigger having just bought the Esquire.

It's certainly a striking combo. I love how this guitar looks (and plays). Fit and finish was perfect... although it's already wearing a little on the top edge where my arm rubs!

Wow, the nitro coat must be really thin on these! Very cool!

It's just where the binding meets the colour on the top, and only a tiny little bit, mostly clearcoat. It's definitely thin. Also, I've been playing it a LOT

Love it! I had one stock and it was a terrific guitar. Unfortunately, I had to include it my latest guitar purge. I bet yours sounds killer!Daitong II wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 4:50 pm
New cheap build with Duncan 59s, Burgundy Mist Squier body, GFS wiring, and falkon neck. Really do like it.

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
I’m surprised how much I like it. The pickup upgrade did wonders for the sound. Also meant to say that the neck is actually from Guitar Anatomy. It’s a pretty full C, which I’ve come to like a lot more coming from someone who always did thin necks. All the aesthetic changes I made from stock, to go with the abalone dots, have also helped in my delight. It’s also quite lightweight.Surfysonic wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 5:26 pmLove it!

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
I have a few Teles (I have 9 Teles) but lately in the living room, Tele time is 2020s Squier time.
Both of these photograph weirdly but play very well:

I threw an insulatingly low (like, brutally low) offer at something that has been for sale for over 3 months and they actually accepted it!

Niiiice get, Johnny! I had one of those for a time (another regret). Love the double binding.

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
Yeah, it's a rare colour for sure...and in my top 5 guitar finishes, maybe even top 3.
I did have to agree for him to retain his 'upgrades' for the price though...so it'll be arriving without any electronics and a bridge but I actually have those here in stock anyway in the parts drawer - and would be changing it all anyway so no big deal. Especially for the price I paid.

Re: Forgot how much I love Teles, AKA Tele Appreciation Thread
My 10th guitar build that used an Allparts neck ended up back in my hands, so I decided to swap the neck onto a GFS T-style body that's been modified to accept my hardware. This one has TV Jones Classics, always a favorite. This will be my last Teeluxe (T-style). I'm tempted to keep it, but I will probably end up selling it. I'm unsentimental like that.
