yegbert,
that's a good looking guitar. looks kinda like the Mary Kaye finish i've seen on some strats.

Thanks!

It's the stock white blonde, the same color Fender uses on the custom shop Mary Kaye Strat. So it's apparently the same color that was on the Strat she made famous in the early 50s.

Mine being a MIM, its finish is polyester; the cs Mary Kaye Strat finish is described in the 2005 Frontline (p 22) as "thin, White Blonde nitrocellulose N.O.S.". I haven't found that (MK Strat) model in the new Fender online spread, but there's a great pic of it in that Frontline.

There seems to be a touch of pink in the white blonde. It reminds me of the creamy skin of a very fair complexioned lady. I thought the fresh snow made a nice backdrop for it, but my amateur picture came out a bit dim.

It's an old picture but they are still a couple of favorites. Have you ever noticed that the shape of the bottom half of a Strat is dang near identical to the bottom half of a Tele?

The Paisley and Blue Flower both date from about '85. They are so similar to my '67 maple neck that I really can't tell the difference between them...with my eyes closed that is. Visually I have found it to be pretty easy to tell them apart.

This is my first attempt at a parts-caster.

swing both ways?

swing both ways?
LOL...yeah, I guess you could say that. I'm a lefty that was forced to learn to play right handed as a kid. I never developed a controllable fretting hand vibrato or great right hand picking, so after about 29 years of playing right handed and thinking about switching over to lefty, I finally said screw it and picked up the lefty MIJ 52RI in Apr '04 last year on ebay and have been playing lefty ever since. I've got great vibrato now, but just need to wood shed on the lefty hybrid picking for a while. I can tell though that I will be better lefty player than a righty in the long run.

I would say it's "Surf Pearl". This is a refinished body so maybe the attempt on this job was
to create the illusion of a "Surf Green" that has mellowed over the years.

There are places( TELECASTERs) I'll remember all my life though some have changed,
Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain.
All these places (TELECASTERs) had their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall,
Some are dead and some are living, in my life I've loved them all.

My Telecaster Family (left to right): 1984 MIA 3-color Sunburst, 2003 MIM Nashville Deluxe, 2003 CIJ Antigua, early 1990s MIJ Blue Flower, 2002 CIJ Paisley and 2004 Squier Telecaster Custom II. The shot makes the Nashville's CAR finish look orange and reveals an obvious wood seam in the sunburst that is generally not noticed by the naked eye.

Here's a shot where the colors are better:

Sadly, purchasing multiple Telecasters does not improve one's Telecaster playing ability.

It does... you just have to play each one an hour a day... that works wonders!! Love that Squier with the P-90's, that is a sharp looking tele... I may buy one and just swap the neck out... how are the stock pups??

Mur I love these shots.

Too cool.

does anyone know what color this is? What is it called???

http://homepage.mac.com/scotyount/PhotoAlbum2.html

You might go to http://home.flash.net/~guitars/ and look around.
I am kind of color blind in that spectrum, looks kind of Daphne Blue or Foam Green to me. Either would have been rare on a tele, I can't tell on the computer.
Another good site for custom color info is http://www.provide.net/~cfh/fenderc.html
Don't quote me on color names, too much confusion already..

I will say that is one bad ass looking esquire !

Obviously, they don't give you a traditional tele sound, but they have a nice ballsy tone. I believe Institute of Noise has done a pretty thorough review of their properties.

Some guidance from this wonderful forum reveals that it is probably "surf green' not to be confused with "sea foam green."

Yes it is! It's the custom black Esquires to be exact.

Nitro colors under lacquer of course can change over the years, and colors don't necessarily photograph or reproduce on computers accurately, but that beauty looks to me like it could very well be sonic blue.

cij buck owens...i replaced all the gold hardware with chrome...and added a super cool pickguard and matching pickups from harmonic design, which sounded great....too bad it never played as well as it looked...

...meant to say the body is 2003 MIM. :oops:

I have its twin, except mine came complete with a very crudely enlarged bridge pickup rout to accommodate another 'bucker-sized pickup -- used it to build a "Reverse Fat Tele" partscaster. Afaik, the body came from a (now discontinued) "California Fat Tele." Unfortunately, my digital camera isn't near good enough to photograph such a dark instrument -- it has a b/w/b pickguard from a JD Tele and black pickups too.

Hi guys,

Yeah the guitar is a real vintage, before I bought it I consulted with vintage tele-guru Nacho and wanted to know what his thoughts where on it he says it is actually a Nocaster but someone has replaced the neck with a 53 neck (wider 12 fret dots etc). Anyways It was a great price and I thought that the low serial was pretty cool so I got it. Let me tell you it was worth every penny not only does it look cool, fill me with mojo when playing but it sounds amazing, It is totally true when they say the vintage stuff has THE TONE...

Oops, by "what model is it" I meant year. Forget the need to be specific on these things sometimes. Just a learnin'.

I also have another Gatton which is DG0030, but I don't take it on the road anymore. Danny set it up in '92 and signed the back. Then signed the front in 93. Here's a lousy picture of it and the front signature:

Thanks to everyone who talked up the Highway 1 around here, particularly those that weighed in on the recent poll. Man, the tone on this is awesome. I'm a P90/humbucker guy, but the twang on this is exactly what I needed to expand my tonal range. Thanks again, but now it's time to get back to playing!

My fellow Tele Lover, It's been awhile since I have visited this page but I have been a member for years. I'll make this short and sweet. I noticed Chief Wahoo on your Tele. After looking a little closer I see you are in Kent Ohio. For what it's worth. so am I. So maybe iffin the future you ever wanna get together to jam, I'd be more than happy. I've been looking for years for someone on this page that might live relativly close. I have jammed with another member of this page who lives up in Cleveland, but heck your right in the back yard.

I look forward to hearing from you one way or another.

Twang-on!

I am only recently a Tele owner (again)

I haven't had one for a while.

I was happy to pick up this Muddy Waters Tele on ebay.

I've given it a 3 ply guard, some barrel knobs and a set of Gotoh locking tuners.

After a week or so with it I am very pleased.

Miss Tango - that Telesonic looks cool. Is that a refin or did the guitar come that way - is that TV Yellow?

The Telesonic came that way. It's Butterscotch Blonde, it had to imported in from the US especially cause they didn't sell them in that colour over here. Typical!

Heck...I'm just happy that I finally remembered to scale down my pics to less than 500 wide.

That is awesome. I love the neck hb. Which model Tele is that, and what kind of bridge does it have?

It's just a plain ol' 2002 MIM STD with a vintage 3 saddle bridge & Ashtray cover. The HB is from a NAMM Edition Samick guitar (the HB is actually labeled on the bottom as an Epiphone HB). I put a chicken head knob on the tone control and a pretty lady decal on there too.

It's a '99 and so far it is the best guitar I've ever tried. Sure, the 25000 NOK Linhof I tried was pretty good, but my Fender gets extra points for being half the price. :grin:

Hey Bubb,

I'd be interested to hear your take on those Graphtech saddles after using them for a bit...nice looking unit, my tele is white on black, but I'm liking the look of that pickguard you have, gives it a little bit of an aged look...

Here is my parts-caster..

1991 Fender American Deluxe Plus Ash Telecaster w/Tremolo in Ebony Frost Finish... Isn't She Beautiful!!! Didn't know Fender made these... They told me that they were made exclusively in '91... Very Kewl Guitar... Loaded with a Lace Blue in the Neck and Lace Dual Red in the Bridge... Factory Installed Coil Split Switch, Wilkinson Roller Nut, Fender/Spertzel Tuners and Strap Locks... SCORE!!!

Here is a brand new Fender Japan tele, it's their TL62B-82TX model, as delivered in hard case with the "Texas Special" sticker. I'm not even a guitarist (drummer/percusionist), but I still think this is an incredibly beautiful thing. I bought this as a birthday present for my daughter, because she's been a good girl, going well at school, her guitar teacher is pleased with her progress. Now, however, looking at this guitar with its indefinable combination of grace and menace I am wondering if it will turn her into a bad girl...

Ordered via e-mail from Ishibashi - couldn't recommend their service highly enough. Delivered to Australia in 4 days.

Those 62 Reissues sure are noice....:roll:

I think I'm going to have to get one soon....:wink:

that's my new favorite shot of my '51 (photo by Joey Foley) - I love this picture so much I wanna marry it!

:grin: I may have posted this here before but this is my favorite Tele (out of three) It would never have any collector's value but it's one sweet player with several nice mods to it:

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL86/502790/14698381/282194651.jpg

It has a vintage "Nocaster" neck (one piece nitro cellulose-no stripe) and I will not say where I got it from. Thank you very much. All CTS pots, Switchmater selector switch, SD 52 Broadcaster at the bridge, SD Vintage Stack at the neck. An early Esquire bridgeplate (not a body through-I like the sound) and Brass Saddles:

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL86/502790/14698381/282194659.jpg

and because staying in tune is way more important than looking vintage, I installed a set of Planet Waves Locking Tuners with the built in string clip-18:1 ratio (can't believe I picked these over the Sperzels or the Fender lockers but i'm glad I did) The gear ratio was worth the choice alone:

Plays like butter and all the personal touches give this girl some serious mojo.

This one's been covered in another thread re: sparkle Tele's. This a restored '68 Tele that was originally this same sparkle silver. The original brown case has been stored away, replaced by the Custom Shop brown tolex case shown for day to day use.

The other three Tele-men from a number of years ago, a Warmoth bodied Frankencaster (had to give up the '68 neck for the resto above), a G&L ASAT, and a '98 era CS Relic '60s.

Here's my 68. Its got a SD pickup in the neck position because the original one crapped out about 20 years ago.:cry: There's a humbucker under the pickguard which I can switch on or off with the little toggle switch on the control plate. I did it that way because I wanted to keep the appearance fairly original. Thinking of getting the neck relaquered as most of the original has worn off. Sorry about the picture quality.

Congrats!:grin:

Thank you Ajay.

Selling my CIJ Rosewood RI funded this one. (the original plan was for a new amp...but this got in the way.)

I've been searching for quite a while for one of these Thinlines, with a maple neck. Prices have been really high and they don't come available too often. This one was reasonable and I wanted either red or sunburst.

Plays and sounds great...

Hi everyone. New here, thought this'd be a good place to start. I don't actually own a Fender Telecaster but I love the style and sound. Teles would have to be the most comfortable guitars I've ever played.

Here's my Cole Clark Culprit 3. It's a thinline tele style guitar made from primarily Aussie woods.

I've seen some amazing teles on these pages... gets the GAS going bad :lol: I'm really wanting an esquire of some sort at the moment... not that I have the money :sad:

Hey, welcome to another Aussie!

An Esquire eh?
