WOW!! That is an AWESOME Tele!!! That's the best mix of Strat, Tele and Gibson I've seen yet.

Nothing better to play for a bunch of the "arm crossers" lol


We used to call those types "beards" because they were the type that would stand in the back stroking their bears and checking out the backlines and such rather than enjoying the music lol



Dig the red tortise shell with the seafoamy green

scottish, d1dsj, drunkinminer and muttznmongrelz: nice Teles. I particularly dig Scottish's spalted top Tele. Is that a Warmoth guitar? IIRC the Fender spalted Tele was HH with a Strat hardtail bridge.

d1dsj: That tele does belong here. It may be HSS and it may have a Floyd (on a tele? ugh) but the finish alone and it's uniqueness makes it welcome!! I'd rock it.

Hey...I agree...that Wayne Floyd Tele is BADASS and I too dig the Spalted Maple Tele! Is that a "Spalt King" Body from eBay btw?
