I just received my double bound, CIJ, '60s reissue, 3-tone sunburst, Telecaster Custom with Fender Bigsby 20 minutes ago!
I ordered it from Musician's Friend and it's been on backorder for about 2 months but today it finally arrived. Fit and finish are excellent and unplugged it has a nice, woody tone. I can't wait to plug it in. I'll post pics as soon as I can! I always wanted to be included <sniffle> and now I am. --James W

I just bought an '85 MIJ esquire. It's double bound and looks exactly like this one listed on Ebay, at least it will after I add the neck pickup, I feel naked without it. Ebay says it's a '62 custom re-issue, so if there was such a thing I guess mines the esquire version :D

It'll be a while
But I'm double-bound and determined to be a member. Here's the body I just bought - now I need to figure out how I'm going to finish it and which Fender neck I'll put on it. BTW, it's a 1994 Chandler body.
 I'm looking forward to doing this one! Dean

My new double bound tele.
I will be joining the club pretty soon!
I have just ordered a rear routed black tele with white binding from Warmoth. It will have a AAA birdseye maple neck, all gold hardware (including gold fretwire!), Twin Bill Lawrence L450's and a Q-filter on a push-pull tone pot. The whole thing should be completed by the end of January and I cant wait! :D Trouty |

This is mine
Nearest thing I could find and afford to genuine article.
Vintage neck feel and played well. Now even better, proper 3 brass saddle bridge, fret dress, new nut and tuners (gotoh) with voodoo broadcaster pups and 4 way switch to be fitted shortly. Not a fender but gives that old tele vibe.

Tokais are great!
Used to have a Tokai P-bass - as good as any Fender!

Double bound club members help a future member!
Hi everyone! After becoming inspired by TeleGeir's Summers tribute tele (what a beauty!), I am proud to say that I will soon qualify to be in the Double Bound club myself - but first I got put this here guitar together. I am building a replica of a 1963 Custom tele with a maple cap neck - well, there may not be a maple neck 63, but it is possible from what I have read. Anyway, I have the folks from Priest Guitars working on the guitar body now and he offered to route the binding channel for me. I am curious what the binding channel size is on the old custom telecasters. Is Stew Mac the only place to get binding - or rather where is the best place to buy binding? What size and how much binding should I order. This is to be my first binding project so please forgive me for the newbie questions. Thanks for helping out a future member of the club.
This club is much cooler than the "No Ben Club" my sister is in.... Thanks! |

I asked this question a while back on the Weber board, and was advised that the original Fender binding was somewhere in between .060" and .090".
In other words, you buy .090" binding, rout the channel just a bit shy of that, and scrape the excess. I think I split the difference between the two and ended up with my binding being about .075". Since then, however, I've just been using .060" binding. There are other places to get binding besides Stew Mac, but no real reason not to get it from there. Their binding is good stuff -- a lot nicer than some I've seen. One piece of Stew Mac's binding will go around the top of a tele, but you'll need two join two pieces for the bottom -- it comes up about four or five inches too short. The way that I join binding is I tape two pieces side by side and make a 45 degree cut through both pieces. Then I coat the ends of both pieces with acetone, push them together, brush the top and sides of the joint with acetone, and tape them down to a scrap board. The next day (I could probably do it sooner), I scrape the excess acetone from the bindings and the joint is almost imperceptible. For joining the ends on the body, I use a straight cut. I leave just a hair's worth of excess on one piece, coat the two edges with acetone and push them together. The acetone will usually melt the excess and you end up with a fairly smooth joint. However, I saw an article in the new Vintage Guitar wherein the author talks about melting a bit of excess binding in acetone and using that as a gap-filling glue. I'll have to try that next time. For the record, I'm not an expert with binding, at all. I've only done it four times and am still learning the tricks and secrets.

'62 RI MIJ Candy Apple Red Double
I think mine was made in 1993. Candy Apple Red w/ Double binding.
Installed Barden Pickups w/ the Brent Mason mod (3 pickups, w/ blend control for middle pickup and push-pull pot to have all 3 pickups on (done by Joe Glaser). Had my pickguard signed by Steve Wariner last year, but part of it rubbed off from playing until I put on protective laminate on it.  tom |

To tell you the truth I haven't really noticed how thick it is. By memory (I don't have it in front of me at the moment), it is just like every other Fender I have. I will check it out tonight though, if I remember that is.

Oh Happy Days, I'm a New Member!
I found the body to my first partscaster in TDPRI classifieds & then just started getting parts along the way. The body is a Fernandes, the neck is a nitro-finished All-Parts maple neck. I had the threaded inserts installed in the neck by Axe Innovations. Pickguard was also acquired in the classified area of this page. Ever since the discussion started here several years ago about the virtues of the Esquire, I have longed for one, so I decided to take this opportunity to build one. I'm using a Duncan JD pup along with steel saddles but have just ordered some brass compensated saddles & will probably try other pups. Here's a pic.

I may have to renounce my membership soon...
Terrible GAS for another bass, and there's no other way I'm gonna get it. Not decided finally yet, though...

Ok here I am too!
 here is the whole story behind this beauty: Well since I’ve covered almost all the tele bases with my killer partscasters (some made by master Rob Di Stefano, some by me) I was seriously craving a bound 62 custom style tele. I was looking forward to build my dream SOLID body tele w/ the flg specks: -Brazilian rosewood/maple boat-neck -light swamp ash body in sunburst w/binding -totally vintage pickups and hardware basically I wanted a killer 62 custom tele without paying the crazy custom shop or Fender prices. I had estimated the cost form WARMOTH or USCG to be around $1200. Than I did a search in E-Bay for “WARMOTH” and much to my surprise I’ve stumbled on this: I could not believe my eyes!! It was exactly what I wanted, down to the vintage radius/jumbo wire combo! I have emailed the seller to get permission to bid since I live in Greece and he was a bit reluctant. To my surprise he has contacted me 2 days later saying that NO serious bids were made on this guitar and offered it to me for a mere $600+shipping!! The EURO is VERY strong at the moment and so WITH shipping the guitar cost me $660! (euro 550 !) The guitar is in my hands, the guy selling it was terrific and packed it like it was going to a North Pole exhibition !!! I have added the tortoise shell guard (sb and tortoise go like milk and cookies together IMHO !) How does she sound and play? TREMENDOUSLY well!! It was put together by a pro and the set up, fit and finish are killer! The LINDY FRALIN pickups were custom wound for a very clear and punchy mid position (my favorite one!) and I am VERY impressed by them ,definitely the best sounding vintage style tele pickups I’ve ever heard. The Warmoth finish is great, durable and very thin and the neck plays like butter with very low action (and it is dead straight). And the Brazilian rosewood looks stunning! It does not have the huge sonic presence of my Rob Di Stefano made thinlines with Bill Lawrence pups and mini hums but sounds like a very good TRADITIONAL tele. I guess I will get used to the non thinline sound again! Try buying a comparable guitar from Fender with these specs! In Greece it would cost me around $5000-$6000 (w/ the shipping and tax)!. Partscasters rule!!! |

Using my Hohner Tele live
The next day after getting it I used my double bound Hohner tele live and it put up really well. I sued a less rigorous setting on my boss overdrive pedal to tame the highs in the sound of my Tele a bit and she sang really good, a perfect match for the Gibson SG of our other player, the Tele twang was right there in the overall sound of the band, I hope to have pictures very soon.
