Rosewood and red is such a great combo.

Love the paisley one!
Always tempted to snag one of those.

I get this one out of jail on 2/18/2021. The correct color name is “burgundy mist”.

This Bullet is my beater. It is stock except for a pair of cheap alnico pups. It is my shop guitar, mostly used for testing amps.

I thought California gun laws were tough, but you have a 5 day waiting period for guitars?
Are they afraid you're going to rob a bank by threatening to play Stairway?

Love my Telecasters

Partscaster.
Gotoh engraved hardware (including neck plate)
Fender Classic 50s Lacquer MiM neck
Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups with "Baja Tele" wiring (4-way + S-1 switch)
Body paint by Shawn Fintel @ GuitarPaintGuys

I have a twin Strat build underway... but the body was a POS import and the holes are screwed up... need to plug and re-drill for the neck and tremolo.

My only Telecaster: 2004 MiM.

Added a black pickguard, black control cover and vintage style three barrel bridge to make it my own. Love the 21 fret maple neck.

I used to own 3 Teles, but traded one in against my SG Standard.

'54 Esquire replica I put together using a Fender MIM neck (Fat U '51), that I refinished with tinted clear nitro. The White Blonde is a MIM Classic 50s Lacquer model, with Fender Original Vintage pickups and some cosmetic changes to make it more like a '56.

Before the Esquire neck refinish:

More recent one (I sprayed the Tweed cab at the same time as the neck):

I like a Tele/Esquire through my 'Plexi':

Where did you get the Esquire body? The finish is perfect.

I wanted a surf green tele so badly that I paid to have my sunburst ASAT Tribute stripped and re-painted. A few years later, Fender came out with surf green Squiers. Do'H!!!

Ya, but what you've got is better than any Squier.

I bought it from Axecaster, it is an SC Relics body. I'm in the UK, so I don't know if that's much help to you?

OK. Thanks. Do you recall the type of wood from which it was made?

 

[KelvinS1965]

@DBCooper It was swamp ash...though it's heavier than I'd like (I'm going to route a smuggler's route under the pickguard soon to remove a little weight).

This is a similar one from the same place I bought mine. There are links to higher res photos on SC Relic's site, so you can see in a bit more detail.

Oh boy, count me in! I absolutely LOVE these guitars. I entered the club a couple months ago with this delightful Japanese '52RI.

This is my 51 Heavy Relic.

Does G&L count since it was Leo? I got one today.
