Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!
Can't remember if I replied to this thread or not...
This is a hand-made custom done by Warren Parker of SoutEast Guitars. It's based on a 7/8ths dinky body popular with Kramer and Jackson back in the day and has a Duncan C5 in the bridge and Jazz neck hums. The top is Primo flame maple that Warren helped me pick out. The neck is a rare R5 claw inlay, maple and rw board. The Kramer bolt-on claw necks came mostly in R2 size and this is the only 1-3/4" wide I've ever seen.
Great thread guys; keep 'em comin'!

Thank you! It was really your Kustom Kramer Flamey and D1DSJ's Wayne Ash Tele that pushed me over the edge to put together my Kramer Teles, the Ash above and this one...

Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!
A lot of these guitars aren't really Teles. Lot of us got to great lengths to either get an authentic Tele sound or a real Tele look, or both. These "Super -Teles" are hybrids with Tele shaped body and the tone has no resemblance to traditional Telecaster sound, and the only thing identifying them as a real Telecaster is the body shape. Not that thats bad mind you..just different. Of course, who's counting, but I think those other Freakazoid "Teles" deserve their own thread.

Understand your point completely. While they may not be "Traditional Teles" in regards to the Original Design, they are indeed "Hot Rodded Super Teles". :friday:

Some people *coughs* have posted their freakazoid '80s hairband Teles multiple times in the thread. Once is enough thanks! If you want to update the pictures, edit your first post.

Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!
Well, since you asked...
Started as a '71 with an ash body. I got it in 1983. Previous owner scooped out humbucker holes with a chisel. A CHISEL!
You could see the pickup bracket ears under the bridge. I got it with the original bridge and "ashtray" and original pups. later, I put a different bridge on, and the humbucker (an SD DD, as I just found out, which I mistakenly wired as single coil!) in the neck position.
That bucker's going into another guitar of mine soon, since I replaced it with a GFS Fender humbucker repro that you see in pic 2.
Then, a couple of years ago, I got a Mex Fender body of Ebay, and rehabbed the guitar.
It's a great playing and sounding guitar, and has been to almost every gig I've ever done.
It's featured prominently on this track: http://soundcloud.com/aspirinhammer/lucifer-sam

Nice guitar man, I'm digging it. It's got mojo. How does that Widerange sound in the neck? Anything like the originals?

Re: Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!
I've recently installed Graphetech string trees and nut in my Squier standard tele. My GFS Stainless Steel saddles just arrived yesterday. Now I'm waiting for my GFS Alnico fatbody set which should arrive next week, together with a wiring kit from WD music. I've also got an aged white pickguard coming in a few weeks. I'll post pics when it's done.
