Boy, they must be rarer than I thought! I've got a 1976 Telecaster Deluxe black-on-black, with genuine "relic" marks I put on it myself back in the days when I toured the Midwest and New England with it (and my trusty Martin D-35). I recently reacquired this guitar from my good friend and best man-he financed a trip with him to Daytona Beach in 1979 in exchange for this guitar (what can I say-I was young and stupid and had different priorities than I do now). Photos on the way...

RI's dont count? If so, exclusive club!

'73 here. Simply awesome guitar I got for a song as it had non original case, a few little non original parts etc (output jack, strap buttons, switch tip, a few pots) and a rout under the PG.

If your accepting us RI owners, I can't put down my 2009 '72 Delux in Walnut . My Standard is getting jealous. My camera sucks but it in mint like this one.

Sold mine in '81 or so, basically to survive. I was kinda living out of my car and sofa surfing at friends' and relatives' places, and I was desperate. It was the best axe I had for a long long time, and I still miss it. It resurfaced online (Folkway Music, Guelph) a couple of years ago, looking a lot like the one posted by Bajomano above, gig-worn and mojo laden, and priced way beyond my means. We established it had been mine because I could ID a ding or 2, and my ID was still under the pickguard. I was heartbroken.

When I gigged in the '70s with the Deluxe, I had a matching Tele bass (with the neck humbucker) and matching 6 string lapsteel. The first 2 gone for survival reasons, the lapsteel gone because I'm basically an idiot.

I am considering getting the reissue. I know it's not quite the same thing, but maybe I can be consoled.

How pathetic is this, a wannabe Deluxe Club member.

Peace, Mike.

Thanks. Funny how it takes guitars from our youth to steal our hearts. In the intervening years I've had lots of nice guitars, but just to have that one again would tie up some loose ends in my heart.

Peace, Mike.
