Members docjeffrey Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Which do you prefer? All are swamp ash. 2-6 have masked faux bindings (PRS style). Neck is the same (Brazilian board) on all six. My wife is extremely partial to one of them. I disagree with her, but I could live with any of them. I'll let you know her choice later. Don't pay too much attention to the pickguard. I will post a poll regarding the style once I decide on the body. Yes, the neck will have frets. I got tired of Photoshopping everything, so I didn't include frets or strings:-) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alecto Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 If you held a gun to my head, I'd say #6 but they're all gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 5 I would preffer frets though and a six saddle bridge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeffrey Posted July 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 5 I would preffer frets though and a six saddle bridge.. It's gonna be a three steel saddle setup (compensated for intonation). Cold rolled steel, not the threaded or cast stuff. Pickups--still thinking about this. I like traditional tele tones with slightly scooped mids and an aggressive, snappy bass, so I'm exploring Lollar or Fralin at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quarter Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think she picked 2 and thats my vote too. For pups, get an order in for some BG's, they kick ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spudro Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I voted #1 because in my opinion, a Tele should not have a top made of different wood than the main mass of the body. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9-Pin-Phoenix Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I voted #1, but #6 would be my second choice. I like the figure of that grain. It's pretty unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NHLfan2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I vote #1 and #2...I dont really dig the 3 tone SB on a tele...I dont know what it is about it... But they are all gorgeous and not helping my tele GAS at all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. Excellent point. The are all swamp ash, but you are correct. The tops on 2-6 are swamp ash on top of swamp ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members =JL= Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Purely personal, but Teles are not antique furniture to me, So it's 1 or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeffrey Posted July 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 These three were on the table for awhile. Should I add any of them to the mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mediocreplayer Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 They all looked the same to me until the last Red/Orange one. Pure sex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mid Life Crisis Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 Out of that last set, I'd take the thinline one if it was a solid body. Failing that, the second one. Oh and a maple fretboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets99 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Damn, Doc!!! Just damn!! Every one of those is to die for! I grabbed 6 because of uniqueness but 4 would be another of my 1 choices. However, I don't know if I could sleep well at night if any of them were in my house. I'd be tempted to get up in the middle of the night, make myself some tea and look at it.

Members Sheraton Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 ^^^Vote please! My wife and I have wagered a naughty sex act on the outcome of the poll.Anytime you can get the wife into a bet like this it's a win win. I love bets where I win even if I lose. I voted 3. I like the figure on 2 but not a fan of cherry burst. I liked the darkness of 6 but it's a little too symmetrical. 3 is interesting, great color and just enough character.

Members Gumkick Posted July 16, 2010 Members Share Posted July 16, 2010 I like 1 but I know you like the binding so I picked 5. The red is really pretty too. They all look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
