Great idea Overseer - Count me in!
Ok here's my 'about me' bit: - Two Partscaster 'tele's here (another donor is on the way), one cream and one natural blackguard. Also have a Squire strat that is headed for the door to make way. My interest is mainly in hunting down bargain Tele / T-Types (decent copies mainly) and to mod them into something 'better' i.e. playable, sound-wise, enjoyable and better looking, with a bit of vintage vibe. I have also recently developed an unhealthy inrerest in the Squier '51 model, and I'm keeping my eyes peeled , particularly for a blonde one at a decent price. Thats me - who's next .. ;) |

cheers.. i nearly called this the British Broad(Tele)caster Club ;) but thought better of it!
a friend of mine has a squier 51.. its not blonde though.. its partly what got me fiending a tele.. a different friend has an affinity tele which i dont like the narrow neck on, but the squier 51 was what swung me back to the tele camp! i'm a newb guitarist so resisting the GAS to buy more right now.. down the line i hope to have another Tele modded to the nines.. maybe lightened for transportation as a 'beater' type thing (i have a 3/4 size acoustic for that right now)... and one idea is to mount something like a px4d directly in the body so its all self contained.. who knows! |

Hi everyone. I'm here in the deep south, of England that is! My kit is listed in my profile. I'm just returning to guitar after a 30 year absence and I can hear the blues calling to me.
Regards Gothma AKA Andy

Hello from Scotland!
My main Tele is a CIJ which has had the body replaced with a MIM and has a Bigsby B50. I'm putting together a partscaster with a Highway 1 body and a Warmoth neck but it'll be a while before it's finished.

ps no connection with seller. pps I got two teles now - bought four since last Feb and sold two - each has a story! First had a MIM blackout SSS Fender - black on black. Sold that 'cos the neck was two thin for me... then got a MIK lite ash which I later swapped for a MIM '72 custom RI. Then yesterday, I scored a black/white pg standard MIK '89 Squire. It needs TLC but feels fab. Electrics are pretty crap and the frets have some wear, but WTH it was cheap and has an awsome neck. Phil |

Count me in too if Squire Affinity's count? Mod's are Les Paul neck humbucker in neck position(still got the bridge pup of the pair) with AXL/AMG bridge pup,wired as per Craig Anderton 5 position and tone volume link wire moved to ctr lug on volume pot and shielded cavities,using a 0.05mf cap.vintage type bridge and through stringing with reversed control plate.
I can get loads of tones but love the neck/bridge series which gives,in my opinion a nice classic blues sound. Hope the pics come through!!! |

North of England here.
Quite a few Teles in my collection Squier Standard, Squier Affinity, a couple of homebuilds, a partscaster that lives at my workplace and a Peavey Generation. Plus quite a few other electrics, acoustics and resonators. I too am on the lookout for a Squier 51, though not bothered about the colour/condition Nice for us Brits/ex-pats to have our own thread. Lets keep it bumped!!! |

I'm guessing I might get into hot water if there was another purchase (before offloading) too ;) As the '51 is renowned to be a tinkerers treasure, and maybe also the first guitar for some ham-fisted yoofs, I'm hoping to find a '51 relatively locally, so I can make sure it has not been badly modded (dont mind at all if it has been nicely modded ;) ) and plays well.It might be a wait! Ive got my camo on and I'm hiding up in them trees .. Gunner Telepath, over and out - for now have a great BH Weekend folks ! |

What ho chaps! expat Nobby Nobster reporting for duty
 (with upper class twit accent)Telecasters you say? ah yes, I've got one Fender that was born under good old Ted Heath but I didn't take her home until that blaggard Harold Wilson got in.  I've got another that was assembled here in foreign parts, as they say. Plain looking little thing but holds her own, stiff upper lip and all that rot. edit: and here they are, the dear old girl has the white blouse.

Excellent idea for a club Overseer, my dear old thing. I have a 2007 Blonde Baja and a brand spanking new MIM Standard in black with a vintage Fender 3 saddle bridge and a Tonerider Hot Classic bridge pickup in the post. Anything other than a Telecaster just isn't cricket (any Aussies looking in?
 ).

Those Tonerider pickups are astonishingly good value for the money, eh what?
My current favourite pickups: Twisted Tele neck, Nocaster bridge, Tonerider Vintage neck. The Tonerider holds its own against the others, certainly. |
