Tele Pictures

:D Here are some pictures of my Teles that I have . 3 are Home Brews. The natural Ash is totally home made , the first one I ever Built back in 1988. I made all the hardware from 304 Stainless. Only the tuning gears , frets ,screws, and electronics are Bought items , the rest was made in the machine were I worked at the time. I still work in a machine shop , just a different one.... the owners are not " guitar nuts" so I don't get much of a chance to make parts anymore http://home.comcast.net/~lngbrder/ws...tos.html-.html

.....the drinking kind or the playing kind.

My tele is made from Warmoth parts and has a Korina body, birdseye maple neck, rosewood board, jumbo frets and Lindy Fralin Blues specials. It is a monster player and is very rich tonally. Total magic through my old Twin reverb.

I would post some pics but I don't have a host site.

I wished I still had my old Twin :( , Traded it back in 1996 for my tweed Blues Deville 4/10 , its a good amp just not a twin. I also have a 1964 Gibson GA17RVT, Pignose, Silverface Champ, and a Marshall Micro Stack, guess I have a bad case of GAS. How do you like the Korina body ?

...adds more midrange but also has some snap on the high end. It gives you real Tele tones that don't hurt your ears.

I'm more of a blues/classic rock player and it handles those styles really well. The test came when I had a killer country player put it through its paces. The thing sounded incredible. It surprised him since he thought that Korina would be a little too dark sounding but it's not.

I forgot to mention I also put the compensated brass bridge saddles on it as well.

I may well have overachived on this one!
