tele

This is a partscaster I built from a 2021 Bullet Strat neck. This became the second guitar I owned (which infected me with GAS). I built this as a standard SSS Strat late 2021, but as time went on I started getting crazy ideas. I tried combining two different selector switch setups (the...

Just last month I've discovered the magic that is ultra-cheap chinese telecasters and this one is my go-to instrument now. I've never owned a tele before and I just love the feeling of not having to be careful with it - aside from how generally decent it is. Telecaster-like product is my jam, as...

Hey everybody, Northern MN checking in. And yes, it IS snowing here. Proud owner of a Gibson ES 135, Fender American Tele, and a Warmoth body/Fender USA neck Strat. Still learning the ins and outs of what each will do best in certain settings, and hope to pick up some insight from you all-...

Taylor is an impressive guitarist, and I decided to post Telecaster images with her in them. Taylor playing a paisley Telecaster with maple neck and a Candy Apple Red Telecaster I hope you guys enjoy this thread and want to reply. I hold Taylor Swift in high regard

So I posted about this guitar years ago, back when I was first trying to put it together and was having soldering issues. Ended up selling off the SD pickups and USA electronics and left the neck and body(w bridge) sitting on my guitar rack for the past 8 or so years. After some recent...

Hi, I'm looking at buying a Telecaster which is advertised as a Custom Shop model. I was wondering if, from the photos attached, whether anyone could advise whether it looks legitimate as a custom shop or not - I've never owned a Custom model before and don't know what to look out for, either...

Here is another track from the album “Bones In The Desert” A few weeks ago I posted a song called “Bending Iron”. This tune evolved from that tune when I collaborated with Jack Logan and he put words to it. This track also features several members of the Drive-by Truckers including Patterson...

Hi guys, Just wanted to get your thoughts on this. I’ve decided I want to build myself a tele in sunburst and came across this You see instead of the black it’s got a chocolate brown hue? What would you say is the actual colour? Is that just the plain vintage blackish brown they used to...

so, have a long time friend has asked a few times if I'd build him something and so here we are. He wants a tele that will twang. so this is what I came up with... will be a thinline tele... with a 'bell shaped' drop top. basically a transition between a 16" and 24" radius. this...

Hi, So I built this tele the other week and chose to go with some off brand hot pickups I had gotten from eBay a while back, nothing too special sound pretty chimey but Im looking for something fuller with a rounder tone if that makes sense, I do a lot of looping and layering and work as a...

Ive been debating this for a while but the after chatting with the guys from casino guitars I got talked into it bit and I'm having fun. Would love some feedback!

Hi! Could you tell me if this is a real Squier? Is there a fender version of this? Is there a copy/fake version of this? How much would it be worth? Thanks so much p.s this is the only picture uploaded by seller, I asked for more photos Another photo he uploaded was a photo of a list of info

This is a tune, I just uploaded to YouTube. Technical Difficulties is from the 2013 album “Bones in the Desert“ by Scott Baxendale and Jack Logan. Recorded at the Mysterious Blue Diamond Room in Athens Ga. It’s mostly me trading 8’s between my B-Bender Tele and a 50’s era Danelectro on slide...

Hey folks, a few weeks ago, I did what any sane person would be doing during quarantine and checked the local websites, lookin for a fix as always, when something caught my eye- a price that I could not ignore. The ad had been posted literally four minutes before I messaged the seller and I...

Today is big for me! I'm 40! Wonderful wife wanted to get me something to mark the occasion and what better way to add to my collection of MIJ lawsuit Fernandes strats and Burny LP's than a traditional Fernandes telecaster. This is a RTE-60 based on a '59 telecaster. Believe this to be...

Seems to fit the category of "other". Specific questions are WHY would someone do this to a guitar? And what exactly would make anyone think this is worth that kind of money? https://reverb.com/item/32224600-fender-telecaster-natural-refin-1970

Well, I was not at all expecting to buy another guitar for my birthday (yesterday). I ended up getting some cash, and I got a 20% off coupon for guitar center via email. Ordered this for 157 after tax. My sister has the seafoam green one, which I was very surprised by. This blue with the mint...
