SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

The only thing I don't like about Teles is that I don't own more of them.

My home built Pine tele.
The first guitar I ever completed.
I recycled some SA Pine roof trusses to make the body and finished it off with a matte coat of shellac. The neck is maple with a rosewood board and finished in cherry tinted danish oil for a natural raw feel. Pickups are GFS Pro Series '52 tele pickups with the overwound bridge pickup.
This thing is majestic! A proper Rock 'n Roll workhorse! I love it. Before this I was always into guitars with hundreds of switching options and coil split with phase switching and a piezo bridge and lasers and shark dispensers and free candy but the beautiful simplicity of the Tele setup changed my whole view!

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

Those are great, I had a V+ strat and a Ron Wood tele at one point and would love to find either of them for sale at an affordable price now. I'll get my own teles in a a pic when I get home this afternoon.

Yeah, it really is a fantastic guitar. I'd put it up against any American made Fender any day of the week. I'd love to have a matching vintage plus Strat.

This is my Ibanez FR420. Looks sick and plays slick.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

I'm in with my main live guitar, which is a decidedly unclassic Suhr Classic T. The Specs are:
Alder body (Very Light, nearly Basswood in weight) with a 3/16 plain maple top (for tone, not show)
Red Sparkle Drip finish with matching headstock
Roasted Maple Neck with Plain Maple fretboard (nearly grainless)
Neck is the Suhr 60 C Vintage Standard with 1 11/16 inch nut width
Frets are Stainless medium (tall 6105 shape)
Pickups Suhr Michael Landau sig singles and a DSH+ in the Bridge
Blower Switch (Bridge pup, full humbucking mode direct to the output jack)
Series/Parallel switch for bridge bucker (also disabled by blower when engaged)
Gotoh Floyd Rose and nut black with screw in bar and nylon tension adjustment, back routed and fully floating







And Finally a youtube clip of her in action.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

Can't offer much this time around, but here's the MIM Classic Players 'Baja' back in the UK. As I'm back home next week for a few days, I might try to get a better shot of it, assuming entries are still open.

The the beauty is in the simplicity of it all. That screams pure, clean and wholesome (with a wild side).

The big question is does it have that "purr (and twang)" a Tele should have?

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

I thought I should update my entry, with better pictures (I understand if it is a runner-up Ace will choose the picture) and sound clips!

The sound clips are pieces of a song all original by me (don't steal them haha), and I apologize in advance for any mistakes or places where I messed up the timing. It is just a rough demo-of-a-demo-of-a-demo I made to showcase this guitar. The Intro is part of the song which is why it is included, but it is played on an acoustic 12-string, obviously not this guitar. The solos were improved.

Here she is; Amira:

I have been eyeing the FR for a while. I hear good things about the bridge design. How are the stock pickups?

Nice I have been there with the multiple switching options. But keeping it simple works better IMO .How heavy is it, and how many pieces did you glue together?

The stock pups are surprisingly good for an Ibby. Crunchy and clean I'd say. There's more pictures in my ''Lots of new gear'' -thread in Guitar Shop.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES



It was a tough call between this one and my black one with the neck P90, but I think this one is just that little bit more unique-looking.

 

[Chocklit_Thunda]

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

Yeah I'm thinking of making my 335 go all the fancy switching and stuff while keeping this as is. It's a 3 piece body of regular roof truss pine. I haven't measured it but its got some weight behind it. Lighter than a les paul but heavier than your average Tele. May switch out the bridge pickup for a broadcaster pickup in the future

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

Beauty and the beast. 85 MIJ thinline and early 90s parts-caster. New lil 59 and very old Jazz in the beast, great sounding stock pickups in the Fender.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

- one-piece swamp ash
- fat U one-piece neck with 9.5" radius and "vintage" (6230) frets (lacquer finish on neck)
- home-sprayed lacquer finish over green wood preservative (no grain filler)

- body and neck were made locally in CA by B. Hefner Co.

Need a completed pic.

I seriously think this will have two polls...

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

No '72 Deluxes or Customs yet? WTF?

Myaccount, Impulse and TC's tele-gib are in the lead, err, and Jolly's ESP.

I had a Vintage Plus Strat once, in that same color, HSS, floyd and I put in EMG's, haha. Awesome guitar.

I am fail.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

I'm thinking I should have posted my black limba P90 tele instead!

Looks like there could be enough for Tele (traditional, Thinline, Deluxe, etc) and Super Tele polls.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 9; Teles ENTRIES

Just put them all up in the first round, top half of the winners go on to a final round for the medal.
