Hello everyone,
Upon googling various topics, I have often found the answer on this board. I am also a member at HC and TGP, but there seems to be a LOT of great info here at TDPRI.
No thread is worthwhile without pics, so here are my current teles:
First up, this tele began life as a 2002 MIM standard with maple neck.

The only stock parts left are the body, the neckplate, and the knobs. The pickups are a Duncan Little 59 for Tele in the bridge, a JB Jr in the neck (mounted in a parchment Warmoth pg). The neck, tuners, and string tree are from a 2003 American Standard. The bridge and saddles are American '52 RI parts. The pots are CTS (500k) and the jack is from Switchcraft.
Next, is my Joe Strummer tele. It's all stock (including the plastic cover on the pickguard...)

I'm also about to build a pine bodied single hum Esquire. Plans are for a Rio Grande Original Texas Hum in the bridge position and single volume knob. I'll probably use my MIM neck for it, but I'd like to refret it with jumbo frets and refinish the neck with a vintage amber tint. I'll post a build thread as that project begins.
I'm looking forward to learning more from all of you here!
