This ones for you Blueblood wherever you are.

Anyway here is mine the day I brought it home 6yrs. ago.

And here is what it looks like today with a single ply white pg, 60’s knobs and threaded saddles.

Twang King · August 19th, 2009, 12:50 AM

oooo, nice. always wanted a muddy tele

ReIgnition · August 19th, 2009, 01:14 PM

Very nice photo and Tele all around. I love Muddy too !

Dogbear · August 19th, 2009, 11:54 PM

Mine looks a little different since I installed a Parsons Green B Bender, a black single ply pickguard, a Seymour Johnson neck pickup and four way switching.

Joe-Bob · August 21st, 2009, 09:35 PM

I never really even considered owning a Telecaster until I came across A Muddy in a store. Now I have one, and I love it.

BTW--I've only ever seen a Muddy in a store twice. What's up with that?

I'm joining the club. I bought a MW on a whim in 2004 and have been loving it ever since. When I bought it, I was looking for a good tele. I knew who MW was, and figured hey, why not, and got it from an online retailer. Didn't know how great it was until after I got it. I love the pickups on it. While there are plenty of other teles out there that would be cool to own, I see no need to ever buy another one.

I've had mine for a few years. Reversed the control plate for kicks, added compensated saddles and a black pg because the white one warped.

Chip · January 5th, 2010, 03:27 PM

Is there any more LOVE for Muddy?

Blueblood · January 30th, 2010, 01:09 PM

I musta been asleep at the wheel to have missed this thread!!

Nice Chip!!

Chip · January 30th, 2010, 02:00 PM

Blueblood,

I thought if I mentioned the club in that other thread you might find us.
Welcome aboard!
You are my Muddy Tele hero. I think yours was the one that pushed me
over the edge to get mine and for that I owe you a big THANK YOU.

Blueblood · January 31st, 2010, 03:02 PM

Awwwwwww...

Your ears sold ya!!

scantron81 · February 4th, 2010, 12:01 AM

I want join this club. Just one problem: I can't find a muddy! not for less than $650 that is. I let one get by on Ebay for $400 on MLK day. Still kicking myself.

Chip · February 7th, 2010, 03:51 PM

I got it Blueblood.
Thanks again.

stevieboy · February 7th, 2010, 10:37 PM

Former owner here of not one but two Muddy Waters teles!

And I still consider it a great guitar.

AjayTele · February 14th, 2010, 08:47 PM

Here's another Muddy...

MIM Quality control is sometimes non-existant, check out the pickguard shape...

Chip · February 15th, 2010, 10:44 AM

What if the pickguard has the correct shape?

AjayTele · February 15th, 2010, 03:07 PM

I never thought of that...

vintage918 · March 18th, 2010, 04:37 PM

Might as well give it a go... my first post that is. My MW Tele was my first Tele and I fell in love, so glad to pick it up new at a close-out price just as Fender discontinued this model. The paint finish is superb, this is a real beauty for a MIM, with an especially sweet neck. I was revved to take it all black: pick guard, control plate, six saddle bridge. What's with that super cheesey white single ply? But after I had all the parts and learned it was no longer being produced, backed right off and kept it totally original. Still think it would look very sharp in black-out mode...

Chip · March 19th, 2010, 09:54 PM

Welcome to the club vintage!

stickswinger · March 25th, 2010, 02:50 AM

What is the price range of a muddy water telecaster on eBay? (completed listing and buy it now) There's none on ebay right now. (sorry, I accidentally asked this same question on another thread before I found this current one) Thanks.
