Show me your telecaster(s)...NOW

I really like this pine body Squier Classic Vibe. The neck has a nice bit of flaming.

Sorry, not Tele related:

No, I hadn't seen his work before. Very cool!
The last 3 years I've been so focused on dobro, mandolin, and pedal steel, I feel like I'm out of the loop on a lot of cool stuff that's happening.

So many cool teles here!

On the left is a 2007 ASAT Special Semi I had made. The natural is an Am Std tele I bought new in 2005. Now sporting Lollar Special T pups and a Glendale bridge/saddles. Both are definitely not for sale.

Updated tele with new bridge:

 

[Peen Simmons]

Both are definitely not for sale.

That’s not what Smurfco’s guitar whore app told me. The Pimp-o-tron 9000 says that either of these guitars could be had for $300 plus a used inkjet printer on Craigslist.

This baby hung in a pawnshop for about two years or longer. At first, I loved the color. Then I played it. It had a certain mojo. It was $100 guitar I put in $300 pick ups and put it in a $200 case.

I dig that blue and the matching blue case. Nice.

 

[Dew Knot Humps]

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.

Love that 402s. When I was in high school I WANTED the Pacifica USA 1 in blue flame with the bound edges. .

This is my mid-90s MiM Tele (yes, it needs a good cleaning):

That is sexy as hell
and practical as well
A "guitar for an engineer"
Say no wrong as I hold
several very dear.

I envision one with fancy engraving and metal work and a steam punk vibe on the pick guard.

@smurfco I've always loved the look of those '72 Customs. . I'd imagine it still sounds like a Tele but, uh, beefier?

slightly more beefy, but nothing like an SG or Les Paul or anything. I think they sound very single coil for being buckers. 1meg pots keeps them pretty bright too.
