I am writing this being very sleepy, i had a lot of other work to do immediately after i received a parcel from UPS, 15:00 Stockholm time today in 29th June.

More sensible impressions of this guitar tomorrow, after enough sleep. In short, it feels and sounds good. Now, pics first.

dman · June 29th, 2011, 07:49 PM

Boy, those sure are pretty! I'll bet it sounds nice, too!

electrablue · June 29th, 2011, 07:55 PM

Nice! Congrats!

dog fart · June 29th, 2011, 07:57 PM

Very nice guitars, the old growth is mighty fine. The LPjr is beautiful as well. Sleep well and congrats

Martin R · June 29th, 2011, 09:02 PM

Very cool...

NJ Tele · June 29th, 2011, 09:17 PM

DOGMA Dunn · June 29th, 2011, 10:46 PM

Nice tele. That is one shiny guitar bridge.

markJcaster · June 29th, 2011, 11:08 PM

Nah-ice!

trev333 · June 29th, 2011, 11:13 PM

Nice slab!... beautiful grain..

I like the small radius edges... flat and square edged.. the perfect tele....

paratus · June 29th, 2011, 11:32 PM

Gorgeous, congrats!

Cajun1 · June 29th, 2011, 11:38 PM

Congrats! Beautiful tele's!

Stubee · June 29th, 2011, 11:57 PM

Very cool.

jmbez · June 30th, 2011, 04:56 AM

Beautiful straight grain on that Tele, bet it's lite and well balanced too. Good pics.
Congrats and enjoy

MrSoul · June 30th, 2011, 05:36 AM

Congrats! It's absolutely beautiful. Long wait but it was worth it.

sneakyjapan · June 30th, 2011, 05:46 AM

I see they`ve made it to Japan as well...

CyanideJunkie · June 30th, 2011, 05:55 AM

That neck plate looks REALLY cool.

burntfrijoles · June 30th, 2011, 06:38 AM

Simply gorgeous! Congrats and enjoy.

david fernley · June 30th, 2011, 06:57 AM

I LIKE ALOT

savofenno · June 30th, 2011, 07:22 AM

Weight: light, as CV 50 Strat!, well balanced, feels sturdy still
Neck: Somewhat like in Classic 60s Strat, thicker than CV 50 Tele, a tad thinner than Baja`s.
Playability: Excellent, just right size of frets, bridge is comfortable.
Tone: Close to CV 50 Tele, pretty, clean, jangly. This said after having played it with VOX VT30 2009 amp, in mostly Fender amp modelling positions. Again, 4x10 position orange sounds best to my ears, like with Baja and CV 50 Tele.

Allow me to show more pics now.

pcbb · June 30th, 2011, 07:23 AM

very cool, congrats

savofenno · June 30th, 2011, 07:30 AM

Hope anybody does not get tired of these. More only after somebody specially wishes for some special detail images of 60th OG Redwood Tele!

Last pic: enemy camp is jealous, but we have 2 deep lurking agents among them...

RubyRae · June 30th, 2011, 10:42 AM

Ok, that is one I have ben really admiring lately on ebay. Damn that looks gorgeous. I bet it sounds like heaven. I might have to save, sell, and buy one.
What a stunner of a tele.

ADK Teleman · June 30th, 2011, 01:44 PM

Congrats on one beautiful work of art!!

Johnp3 · June 30th, 2011, 01:49 PM

Congrats X 10! Beautiful Tele.

AirBagTester · June 30th, 2011, 02:08 PM

Stop posting all the pics! You're making me jealous! :)

No, wait, never mind... still jealous, but... must see guitars...

I dig that SG too!

oramac7891 · June 30th, 2011, 02:52 PM

Very nice. This thread has too many good pics....it's going to hurt someone

yangounet · June 30th, 2011, 03:04 PM

Niiiiiiiice! gtz!

iamharlan · June 30th, 2011, 04:22 PM

Very nice. Saw Andy play one of those on PGS. How much are these running for? I haven't seen one for sale yet. (I know I could Google it, but I'm being lazy today.)

Torz Johnson · June 30th, 2011, 04:53 PM

Congrats, that is a sweet Tele.

BTW I love the name "old growth" redwood. We only have to wait about 500 years for some of the "new growth" redwoods to be ready.

Hotrod40 · July 1st, 2011, 12:44 AM

Congrats...I never get tired of looking at these.

Me neither, especially because the variations in grain are so huge. Just look at this one:

themovierad · July 1st, 2011, 01:24 PM

That's a nice guitar. I was between the Redwood and the Flame Top Antique but I pulled the trigger early due to my need for instant gratification. Congrats man!

randym · July 1st, 2011, 01:45 PM

I got my Old Growth Tele last weekend at Dave's in LaCrosse. 6.4 lbs. Pictures to follow when I get time

spikypaddy · July 1st, 2011, 04:45 PM

Don't worry I grew up around were they got the wood. I used to live in cazadero. U can't just cut the trees down u have to get permits and they have to be already dead trees. That's why I really want one. My favorite guitar made from a tree I grew up next to.

shnitzl · July 1st, 2011, 05:01 PM

Oh ya some of those trees were here before columbus came to america and one I know was growing during the time of jesus haha

Thanks to your, and everybody`s comments.
shnitzl, thanks for your message from trees themselves, i dare to take it as that!

veus55 · July 1st, 2011, 09:57 PM

I love mine. Not only looks great but plays even better!!!

After I went through the description of all the Telebration models, I thought this was the most special so I pulled the trigger.

No regrets
