Telecasters of GFSA

I’m getting tired of looking at Strats so calling all Telecasters of GFSA! As long as you own it and it has a Tele shape you are more than welcome to post here! Can't believe there isn’t a thread for Telecasters, what’s the matter with you people? Let me start off with these TL50 Squier Silver Series MIJ Fugi Gen '93 TL52 52' Reissue MIJ Fugi Gen '88 TL62B 62 Reissue MIJ Fugi Gen '86

Man theres some amazing Teles in this thread.
Heres my 2009 Squier Classic Vibe 50s. PINE body, a touch of figuring on the neck. I added a four way switch to get both series and parallel. With matching Vox Mini 3

Less usual Tele, Deluxe 3 pick-up model. Oh and there are two people standing either side cropped out the frame so no it wont fall ha ha ha ha ha.

Here are a couple of pics of my Blackbeard's Den Tele in the making on my work bench.

I have sprayed it with clear polyurethane but I still have to do some finishing on the edges. The poly takes for ever to cure. Hows the grain on that ash burl top! I'll post some more pics once it's finished.

Here's another picture of mine. This time in its natural habitat, leaning against my 18 watt after sound check.

Guitar stand... please... my soul cries when I see people leaning guitars against amps, walls, lying them flat on the ground etc.

I wouldn't do that with my Les Paul, their flimsy mahogany necks results in headstocks flying off if a gnat farts in their general direction, as you are well aware of. This guitar, however, has a one-piece maple neck. Baseball bats are made out of maple. It'll be ok even if someone kicks it, I'm not fussed ?

*casts a beady eye at ez's profile pic* mmmm... what's that you say? ?
Hahahahaha... I'm just paranoid I guess... my LP did a flip and landed on its head... almost snapping the headstock off...

No Tele thread is complete without Keef demonstrating the strength of the Telecaster.

Telecasters were around way before Gibson made guitar stands necessary ?

It arrived just in time for band practice (three of us getting together with two guitars, too many beers and a couple songs) and I loved it - very, very comfortable guitar to play

Nice Giggsy .... so you DID get that one ..... in the end

my latest workhorse.... a partcaster i've been using to slowly mod and refine to get the 'right" tele for me.... and my uses

very happy with the body weight (2 piece alder body)
the vintage 3 saddle bridge is perfect and note it's a toploader ... a personal like
volume and tone pot to my liking
pups ... happy with the bridge pup (vintage (reissue) fender tele bridge pup) gives me just the bite and twang i want which the modern fender bridge pup of my usa standard did not ...
neck is an old japanese neck pup from a jazz guitar from the 60's ... it's 90% right for me.... very much like a charlie christian fat single coil.... but since i use that pup mostly for the jazz i play ... i am thinking of getting a Lollar charlie christian for it .... but this pup i'm currently using is actually working for me and gets pretty close ...so tempted to "not fix what ain't broke" and just leave it be....
guitar is strung with 12's flatwounds and gets great tone

so very happy with tone/ body /colour/weight ...

LAST modding to be done ...is the current neck is not bad but i want to try a 50's vintage style tele neck with 7.25 radius and a thick 'baseball bat feel' ...so still experimenting with the neck though the current kluson copy tuners hold tuning 100% and no need to swop em ....

so anyone have an old 50's styles tele neck lying around...i am looking for one to buy .......... a USA fender neck would be 1st prize but they pretty rare even a good quality replica is fine ...as long as the tele headstock is as fender shapes it

gotta love tele's ... and gotta love that they designed to be modular so my one can be exactly what i want ..... and it's as easy as unbolting a few parts and replacing em

Don't know what pup that is but form the clips I've heard it sounds sweet! Good luck with that Tele neck, even decent replicas are hard to find!

Tele made from a kit from Blackbeard's Den.
