Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!

Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!

Hey, thanks, that's the first compliment I've ever gotten on my poor little Tele!

That screw on the side of Chris of Arabia's is a side adjust for the truss rod, mine has one too. It's really not my favorite thing about that neck, to be honest.

You'll be meaning this then...:naughty:

I think, this is, absolutely, one of the most beautiful tele i've ever seen... Moreover i usually dont like teles. But this is more than a tele. Charming piece of art :)

Here is mine:

But this is an old photo. Now it as a bridge with 3 brass saddles, and Hamel STD-B lead pickup... Still the ant neck HB is what I am using.

You have very cool looking tele, Mr.Barlo ;)

'72 tele custom ri, MIM. Stock apart from a pul pot to split the WRHB. Jumbo refret.

Haven't been using it much live recently, but it's all over the record I'm doing right now. By the time we're done the whole right-hand side of the stereo mix will be tele...

You have awesome taste in tele's there Hot Grits :P That was my number 1 for a while.I shall get another!!
 
Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!

I got a Fender Tele made of metal with a light- blue purple burst thing paint job. The neck is rosewood. No one knew what to make of it when it came into the guitar shop so I got it half off for $600. I never play it cuz its rare and weird so it sits in a case. Someday it may be worth something. It does have a nice jazz tone. :beerchug:
 
Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!

The dude that played with Ben Harper here in Portugal last night (caught the concert on tv - awesome btw), had a guitar exactly like Chris of Arabia's... only exception was he had a regular tele neck pup. I thought it was him for a couple of minutes and that he had gone from minibucker back to tele lol
 
Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!

Probably fair to say that I have limited opportunities to appear on Portuguese TV these days, not least because it's somewhere I've never been. I do though find it mildly embarrassing to see the number of glowing tributes that particular guitar gets.

Bump for a new-to-me MIM. I got it for my birthday this year. The pickguard's definitely gonna get changed to a white pearloid, and the pickups and pots/switch/knobs have gotta go, but the neck feels nice and it sounds ok unplugged. Frets are ok. It'll be kick as$ after a couple of upgrades.

Here's a mock-up of the after upgrades...

And I just completed the finish work on this one... currently hanging from the ceiling while it cures. This was a kitchen table test-fit after 2-3 coats of Tru-Oil... the final deal has several. Warmoth neck, USACG thinline body.
