Nice, Big K. I like that p/g! Three toggles and no top-hat, huh? How was it wired?

Gotta get a picture of my new Nashville Tele in here, too:

 

[Big K]

front 2 mini's in the slot where the 3way used to be were wired to turn off each pickup individually and the mini between the volumne & tone was a coil cut/tap for the bucker... the shell pickguard was from Warmoth... ya thanks for posting another pic of that Nashville...it has me gassin' for another Tele already..

On the left my Squier 'Micawber'..........5 strings, tuned to 'G' and fitted with a Seth Lover H/B. On the right my 52ri fitted with a Lollar Imperial by Keefs guitar tech..............

Who is this "Fingers"? theFret certainly attracts a fine caliber of axe-men it would seem.

Beauty teles BTW... I luv the idea of a neck mounted 'bucker on a tele. I have some OT $$ coming my way soon and just got the OK to start looking for an honest-to-goodness tele (I love my wife ). I think I'm in line for the "AND THAT'S GONNA BE IT FOR AWHILE" lecture

How do you like those Texas Special pups?

 

[Spudman]

Those are beautiful Mark and Fingers.

Yup, three beauties there, boys!!

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Yeah, this thread is making me gas for DVM's squier tele. But, no canna buy geetar right now. LOL!

 

[Mark]

Thanks you guys. I really really am liking the Texas specials I never paid much attention to Tele's all these years. Since I built this it gets LOTS of attention. Extremely versitile guitars. Now if I can just make her talk like this dude, in this case tone is in the Bearpaws

Aw, c'mon! It's CHEAP!! Hardly more than a week's beer money!

Actually, I got a guy at work who is looking at it tomorrow. Fiddle player in a bluegrass band, but he always wanted a gee-tar. If that doesn't pan out, up it goes on eBay....

I was surprised not to see a B-Bender in the crowd.

 

[ShortBuSX]

This is my walnut stain Squier Standard Tele...only mods are strap locks and nickle plated brass saddles(vintage Strat):

So you see...I just HAD to have this walnut stain HSS Strat:

"Betty"(telecaster) & "Wilma"(strat)

Ive been considering sanding the "Squier Telecaster" off the headstock...mostly to emulate the "Brown Bomber" which has no markings on its headstock either...any opinions???

[SuperSwede]

Lol... you could sit there on the porch and drink moonshine... play a little blues on your Reso. Blind Spearmint Warren could be your own blues name.

Thanks for the help with the pics.

It's time to show off my new Tele:

Specs:

• Two-piece swamp ash body by Goeldo, Butterscotch
• SMNT-FAT Allparts neck (nitro tinted)
• Bill Lawrence Keystone pickups (no string tree)
• Gotoh Vintage Staggered tuners
• Allparts vintage bridge with compensated saddles
• 1-ply pickguard, CTS electrics, Electrosocket
• Tusq nut

In the words of my technician, who put it together, "one of the best Teles I have ever played!". And he is a notoriously difficult to please fellow!

What can I say, the honeymoon isn't over yet, but this thing plays, feels and sounds so beautiful it almost brings tears in my eyes!

(sorry about the clarity of the photos...)

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Love the names ShortBuSX! Do you have two amphs that you can call Barney and Fred?! I can just hear the boys screaming out solos dictated by their wives. LOL! Abraxas, lovely guitar. Drool!!

Thanks...but as of now my amps are just named Crate and Vox

Any opinions on removing the headstock badges? Should I or not?
