The Wobbly Tele Club

[Believer7713]

You can only join if you have a Tele that had s Wangdooly. Doesn't matter what kind (6 point, 2 point, blade, Floyd or Kahler), just need to be a wiggle stick.
I know of 3 others here so far so c'mon guys, let's see 'em. Also, tell us a little about why you had the conversion made.
Mine was due to desperation. The body was petty horribly cut when I acquired it. The neck pocket was not straight to the bridge so I routed it to save making a clock out of it.

Don't have wobbly bits on my strats, let alone teles, so will will have to be on the outside, looking in.

Hear it.

I don't know which track I like better, they all are so good and so different.

Same guitar, same player.

And I can't join because I only own one guitar out of 5 electrics that has a vibrato arm, and it ain't the Tele.

 

[El Gobernador]

Same guitar, same player.

You know my thing. The player makes the sound.

My reasons for a Strat vibrato on a Tele?

1. Terry Kath.
2. A Tele bridge pickup in a Strat does not sound like a Tele.
3. The vibrato is an important thing to my sound. Not essential, but important.

I can’t join.

My only guitar with a whammy (my Stratocaster) has the vibrato blocked.

That’s ok—I’ll watch from the outside.

 

[Willmunny]

Yeah, my Tele has a strat bridge, but it's hardtail.

 

[Believer7713]

I'm not near the player that Fezz is but this is mine in action the day I finished building and setting it up.

 

[wooders]

Same going on my next build

 

[Believer7713]

I have built two more tremmed out teles for other people too. One for @GrooVey and for a local customer. The one for the local has a Fender Dynamic Vibrato like would be on a seventies Mustang.

@GrooVey's got me started on the, though.

Amazing! I like the middle one the best, but all three are just great Chris.

 

[Ebidis]

Sacrilege!

 

[Believer7713]

Sacrilege!

Hater!



Oh yeah, my next one will be roasted too.

That's the neck pickup on The Last Ride...

It's got a short in it. And I refuse to fix it because it sounds so good. LoL

 

[El Gobernador]

Sacrilege!

Sack of legs.

 

[GrooVey]

This is it from better days...

I don't even wanna tell ya what happened after the last refin. @Believer7713

It was near perfection. 1st day out of the house, I let Delta Airlines (could have been any airline) have it for a short hop. It wasn't pretty. Back to the shop. Pics to follow in another week+.

Did they try to give it a USPS relic job too? That poor guitar has been through almost as much as Ed's Frankerstrat.

The top two neck screws were pulled out a 1/2 inch. Neck was pitched about 30*. At least still whole, not busted. Like someone leaned it against a curb and stomped on it. Quarter size chips out of the front and base. I’ll have her back in shape soon. Just glad finishing season is back.
