Members dezmoduo Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 Nice approach with that Tele. I'm OK with the reverse, my Robin has one. Sometimes switching between guitars throws me when I have to tune up, D'oH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vintage clubber Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 very nice job! How does the middle pickup sound and blend with the other positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members geetarded Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 they blend very well...I was a little surprise when I plugged her in wasn't quite sure what the arrangement would sound like. The pickups are noiseless and I wired the humbucker to split coils works well with the middle pickup. I scooted it a little closer to the humbucker to get noise cancelling with split and middle position. Work out well. Thanks for the input I am enjoying it. Not sure if you have read new builder threads but we are good friends and we help inspire each other. Funny we built tele's at the same time...wasn't planned just happened. Cant' wait to try out his Tele I guess we will have a tele conference soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members caveman Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 So a Fender decal on a Warmoth neck is OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members geetarded Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 caveman, I am changing the decal under the advice of a good friend, it was a bad whim and is the only part of the guitar that is wacked. After giving it much thought I realized I was supporting a sticker maker guy that shouldn't be making the waterslides to begin with. I have plans to replace the decal. I do when asked and without being asked disclose the guitar's making, parts etc. and she stays in the family to be handed down to my daughter.

Members geetarded Posted February 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 Citizen, Yeah I never seen a reversed Tele before, so I thought I would build one. So far everyone who has seen it has liked it. Warmouth did a great job on the neck. Thanks I Gore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Tele Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 sweet, weird, cool...theres a lot going there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members geetarded Posted February 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 The project only cost about $400 not bad for a custom Tele style guitar. When strummed unplugged the low E and A strings sound almost like piano strings. It's the weirdest thing...sounds very cool though...not sure if it is due to the additional length on the low strings or what. Sounds great plugged and unplugged.

Members geetarded Posted February 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2010 newbuilder enjoyed going to your guitar boutique shop/home, the collection was awesome and they all played amazingly. The action of the "Green" guitar was Stellar, never played anything like it. I think I could like green guitars after playing that beauty. I enjoyed the jam, see ya soon.
