Members Angry Tele Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 haha I hate that control plate mod, looks silly and Id think it would be a PITA to find the switch. I have trouble with the switch on my Flatline because it switches up and down not sideways, so Its easy to hit while strumming. Luckily down is bridge position which I use all the time anyway. Cant turn the switch because its too wide to fit in the cavity. I've had 2 tele's in the past... had to sell em for one reason or another but I've been GASing over a G&L ASAT for quite a while now Fender Blacktop- I HATE where the PUP selector switch is... its impossible to get to while playing. Nashville deluxe sorry for the crappy phone pic- I took this like 5 or 6 years ago when flip phones still had crappy cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BB123 Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 Y'all think Tele's would look weird without a pickgaurd? Depends, really. Some look better without than with, tbh. Others look like something's missing, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vintage clubber Posted February 26, 2012 Members Share Posted February 26, 2012 My friend, Scott's homebrew tele. One piece body was cut from an old mahogany desk. Neck is completely made from scratch and truss rod was fabricated from components picked up at home depot. Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck and Fralin bridge pickup. This guitar plays beautifully!

Members Muddslide Posted February 26, 2012 Members Share Posted February 26, 2012 Be it ever so humble...I decided to look for a Squier Standard because it fit my budget, I prefer the necks on them to the CVs and I prefer the pickups in them to the MIMs. Found this one for $150 including case. Indonesia, made in 2000 at the Cor-tek factory. I generally prefer maple fingerboards on Teles, but this rosewood one is super sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted February 26, 2012 Members Share Posted February 26, 2012 Currently my only Tele. It's a partscaster using an Agave Blue MIM body, a Warmoth fatback birdseye maple neck, vintage tuners, a brass Fat Head, a Lollar Charlie Christian neck pickup and a GFS 50s bridge pickup. I think sometime this year, I'll do some sort of swapping around, either putting the Warmoth neck and the CC pickup in my Squier 51, or I'll buy another body. I like the guitar as it is, but from the beginning, I wanted to have a wood finish on this project. I originally planned on a heavily chambered ash or mahogany body either with the same wood for the top or possibly wenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alecto Posted February 29, 2012 Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Apologies if I've posted this already, but this is my one and only Tele, a homebuilt job a friend did for me. I'd love to get more Teles but I need to keep a lid on the finances for the foreseeable future.It has a set of BG pickups calibrated for 500k pots, Callaham hardware, one-piece ash body and a Warmoth fatback neck.

Members cratz2 Posted February 29, 2012 Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 that looks great. Did the fathead make a difference tonally? What do you think of the CC pup? LOVE the Charlie Christian! It's definitely a unique pickup. I'd had the hots for one for a couple years and, to be honest, was 60% of the reason I built it up. Not sure how much of a difference the Fat Heat makes, but I can't imagine it hurts sustain or teh toanz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
