Show me your telecaster(s)...NOW

[Honkridge]

Lately I'm digging the thinline. Such a cool sound

Been challenging my Thorn R/S for the top spot... been getting the most play out of the two... but it's still very glossy compared to my "well loved" Thorn.

A pic I took when I was thinking of selling it:

And a photo in context in the practice room:

Built this one (from a stewmac kit ) a year or so ago. I expected it to be shit but it actually turned out great!

I’m loving the Pete Townshend model on the left.

There are some gorgeous guitars in this thread! I have had many teles over the years, but I'm down to 2 right now. The red one is sparkly and made by a Houston luthier. The butterscotch is a Fender American Professional with a replacement neck by the same luthier. The necks on both are roasted, unfinished maple with an asymmetric neck profile.

Light weight, belly cut, with Bryan Gunsher F-spaced, low wind humbuckers. I’ll get a proper, single coil Tele someday….

The gold one is really doing it for me.

That red one rules. I'd love to slap a bigsby on mine someday

The black one is a great guitar, but the gold one is something special. It's got that intangible something and you can feel it. If the house was on fire that's the one I'd grab.

My Twangbanger is a 60’s Classic with a nice chunky-ish neck, a tasty set of Rio Grandes and the Steve Cropper color scheme.

I put a lot of miles on this guitar in the early 2000’s in bars, taverns, nightclubs, festivals, honky tonks and beer joints and it shows, relic’d the old fashioned way.

It's a lot of fun. Adds more weight than I'd prefer, but nothing's free.

Hell yeah, dude.

Intangible means you can't feel it.

 

[Motorik]

2009 American Standard Tele with Bare Knuckle Blackguard Stagger '55 pickups, and a Hipshot b-bender, g-bender, and drop-d lever. It's pretty much my perfect guitar, I play it probably 95% of the time.

Have you seen Houston luthier Tak Makino's work?

Sorry, not Tele related:

 

[Monson]

I had a lovely Baja some years ago. Should never have sold it. You rarely get that much Tele for that kind of money.
