Apostle Is Finished

[telerifik]

This is my honey blonde Nashville tele just re-vamped. I made the following changes. I call this one Apostle.

Seymour Duncan 5/2 bridge pickup
Tex-Mex strat neck pickup
Vintage dome knobs
Wilkinson 3 piece vintage brass bridge
Electrosocket input cup
Black pickguard
Strat mounting ring at neck

Re: Apostle Is Finished

Very nice... But I'm curious. Why the Strat mounting ring in the neck position?

Re: Apostle Is Finished

That's a great looking tele.

Re: Apostle Is Finished

Awesome tele, but I am not diggin' the neck pickup ring.

Re: Apostle Is Finished

the neck pup ring is to hide my ****ty cutting skills lol. I don't like it either, gonna change that.

I think the pickup ring looks cool. makes it look different, in a good way.

Can't you just get a new pickguard to hide your shredding?

How about instead of focusing on a (perceived)negative, we congratulate on a job well done?

I think it looks cool too. It's a good feeling to successfully mod your own guitar. Great work.

Re: Apostle Is Finished

I think it looks cool that way. I'd just leave it. Nice tele!

I don't know where your dog ends and the sofa begins though! LOL

Re: Apostle Is Finished

Ok it is really done this time. I did not have a blackguard around with a standard neck pup cutout so I went with this one. The neck pup is RP in the 2nd position (sounds awesome.)

Re: Apostle Is Finished

very nice man! Congratulations... I like it either way, the pick-up ring made it look nice IMO.

Have fun with it, I'm sure it sounds awesome!

Re: Apostle Is Finished

I liked it better the other way, but it still looks pretty sweet. Great job, bro.

Re: Apostle Is Finished

I am going to switch back to a blackguard when the one I ordered comes. The other one won't work now because it is cut for a strat pup.

Re: Apostle Is Finished

I dig it. For some crazy reason the pup ring reminds me of the old school V 8 badging on older cars from the 50s and 60s. Teles rule the world!!!!
