[fretless6]

Err nice wall? lol

 

[ciki]

spooky.....but kinda unique!

 

[junkiemanxl]

actually its pretty normal.
If you have a MIJ fender foto flame, chances are that you'll probably have the same markings.

Here's my Classic Player Baja Tele:

 

[KennethC]

+1 for the transparent white finish on your tele kennethC, its awesome

Thanks Keith (and James for your earlier comment). Those brass saddles are callahams (including the bridge plate), and they seem to make the tele sound less tele-like, and a bit rounder.

KennethC: That white trans finish is really something. Its not a finish that you see on tele's often. What are the specs on her? I'm guessing Ash body?

Thanks junkie

Specs:
USACG Extra Lightweight Premium Grade Swamp Ash body (right about 3lbs.)
Warmoth Vintage Modern Flame Maple neck, 22 frets, 6105SS wire, 59 roundback, 10in. radius
The neck is finished in nitro but is nicely sanded so it feels very smooth, no stickiness whatsover. The fingerboard edges are also rolled very nicely for comfy playing. Fret edges were nicely rounded too.
Gotoh Vintage Locking Kluson Tuners
Callaham Bridge (double cutaway) and Brass Saddles
CTS/Switchcraft electronics
Came with Klein T-1 and Tele P90 pickups, but I now have Stuart Fine Custom Blackguards in there.
Finished in a transparent white blonde with hand-rubbed nitro lacquer and light relic-ing overall. Looks slightly used, almost like a closet classic, not like a beat-up/mauled tele

The whole guitar is really light, it can't be any more than 6.5 lbs, I'm guessing. Lightest tele I've ever picked up.

cool

 

[faizal_rocks]

Nice dual p90 Tele, irvinzj..love the cream colour..

And finally here's mine and its not a Fender!

Made up of Mighty Mite swamp ash (heavy!) body and Allparts TRO rosewood neck with 12" radius. Pickups used are Tonerider Hot Classics but might change them out to something more warmer and hotter. This Tele was designed to replicate the models that came out during the 60s. Sounds great thru my Vox AC4TV amp...
