      Thats a pretty cool looking Tele for sure, and definatly one of a kind, but I actually wanted to stick with some tele sounding pickups to get a bit more twang (and a rosewood neck) so I don't think it will be finding a home with me anytime soon, but heres a bump for a sweet looking tele just the same

        This was my #1 for the past 10 years...

        Started off as 91 MIM Standard, I added a new neck and put a Custom 5/59n in it. I just recently traded it on something better.

          Right now mine is in totally stock form, so it looks just like the one at the website. Mine is the one in Midnight Wine finish.

            Before:


            After:










            Dave (Zhangliqun) custom-wound the pickups for me - a Paul Bunyan bridge pickup (a la QP, with plenty of twang) and a Babe the Blue Ox neck pickup (a la PhatCat, but with an A3 mag). Modern bridge base, but with individual vintage styled string-saddles. The pickguard is a Warmoth Vintage Pearl/Creme/Black three-ply. The knobs are strat-style chrome knobs, nice heavy Tele-knob feel with the Strat good looks. Reversed the plate, while I was at it.

                Question for those who have modded their Teles: Are the MIM bodies routed swimming pool style (or at least HB cavity in the neck)? I could see using a Tele for experimentation with pickup combinations of various types.

                  They are routed for a humbucker in the neck.

                    Does this count as a tele?

                        Horribly washed picture, but you get the idea. Old picture, too. The control plate was flipped a while ago and modded with a 4-way switch.



                        Don't let the appearance fool you, she isn't as sweet as she looks. When the 4-way puts two full quarter pounders in series you know she means business!

                            Yes. It's a very usable tone. I especially like going from playing the neck pickup tapped to playing both full in series. It's the ultimate kick in the pants.

                              The MIM Nashville Tele is the ultimate platform for experimenting - it has a swimming pool route, to you can do just about anything just by swapping pickguards.

                              And speaking of which...
