Show off your Telecasters!

I tried to do it with 3 cans of spray , the 'lightly tinted' can did appear to be a bit light on the tint though . I was going to get a black pickguard but may stay with the white as you say it is more of a white blonde . It`ll be 21 years old this year so I guess it`s looking pretty good {better than my car anyway}

Heck yeah! I wish I was handy like that. The most I've ever even attempted is simple repairs like replacing toggle-switches and such, and sometimes I've even managed to bollocks up things like that.

So I take it the Welsh Dragon will not be making a re-appearance?

I`ve just about finished it , 3 cans of nitro and a lot of sanding later , it looks a bit pale though and may be in for some sunbathing out the garden .

Awesome lookin Tele Geraint, you did a great job,i hope mine will look half as good as this one ..

Congrats :bravo:

I`m making ammends for the first time i sanded it down , i was a little bit over zealous with the use of power tools . It took about 5 days to get this ready for spraying , lucky we had a run of good weather so it made it a little more bearable.

Unfortuneately the dragons' 14 year residency has come to an end, although I did see a reliced up Tele the other day with a great decal on it of one of the pin up girls as seen on the nose of WW2 bomber, it really looked the part .

Thanks Blaze much appreciated , I was lucky with the wood underneath and the nitro coat is really thin , but there are some gorgeous on display here .:master:

Heres mine

1998 Affinity modded into an Esquire. has a great switching mod that gives vol+tone/vol only/straight to jack. The early affinities are nice, because they have thru stinging, full thickness body and hotter p/ups

Now my Squier Standard, lives with either a white pearl guard or a red torty one. Only mods are opened out neck cover on p/up and a 4 wat switch. Great guitars the Squier Standards

Now, not quite a real tele, but not far off. A Peavey Generation, modded to be more like a Nashville. Got this one for next to nothing, but is a great little player and a lovely sounding guitar. Very underrated these Peaveys.

I have a few other teles, I may post them sometime.

How does one go about saying "That's just wrong" in Finnish?

HERE is my 2008 MIK TELE CUSTOM

Wow, I love those kinds of Tele's! That one is much better looking than the Custom FMT's I've lusted after.
What kind of pickups do you have in it?

72 deluxe

 

[Brian Krashpad]

Cool.

Do they all have the belly cut? I was unaware of that.

LOL I think it'd be basically just 'no-o!' or maybe close to 'like, no-ot!':
'Siis e-i!'

This is not an original or RI but rather a close approximation put together by me.

Though my brother has the RI and it does have the bellycut also.
Don't know if all the originals had a bellycut but from those I've have seen, they have it.

I usually play strats and I find the 72 deluxe as a kind of a strat meets tele.

Ron Kirn is the man. I am a member of TDPRI also and his builds are legendary. I am over there studying up as I plan to build a Tele soon. I am looking at Mahogany with a spalted maple cap for the top. Those guys over there make it look so easy tho.

Thanks. I'd never seen the back of one before.
