Members billybilly Posted September 13, 2013 Members Share Posted September 13, 2013 I love a good tele, good being one with forearm and tummy contours. I had to special order mine and love it. Do any of the tele lovers not think it is a good idea to implement a forearm and belly cut? If so, why? My tele... PS Notice it has the smart saddles, you know, the ones you can intonate individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Davo17 Posted September 13, 2013 Members Share Posted September 13, 2013 I dont mind them, but vintage style is my favorite-it just feels fine to me. How about a frontal shot of that tele. Looks like a maple top on ash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have many pics on this hardrive but have a front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted September 17, 2013 Members Share Posted September 17, 2013 I prefer the plain ol Tele but don't mind the body contours or 6 saddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tvvoodoo Posted September 17, 2013 Members Share Posted September 17, 2013 tele = good tele w/contours = better maybe not so apparent by the photos, but both of these have generous tummy cuts and forearm bevels, tele sound, near strat comfort. The only thing a strat guy would miss a little bit is the open upper horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
