OK, this is completely unofficial, but I'm curious and I'm sure lots of others are too as to who here has the most worn, beat-up, or "relic-ed" (as opposed to "re-liced") tele. So here's your chance to post pictures of your favorite beater. The rules are:

*It must be what we would generally recognize as a tele (Warmoth, G&L, Kramer, etc. are eligible).
*It must be YOUR tele. If your not Joe Stummer, please don't post a pic of his tele (well, ok, go ahead. Somebody here may not have seen it :D).
*It must be playable.
*It must be played on a semi-regular basis. The more of a workhorse it is, the better.
*Not all parts have to work, but playing it through an amp must produce musical notes. Nothing so dilapidated that it won't play. Pictures of such instruments are welcome, but are inelligible to compete in the judging. :D
*Please post pics along with descriptions. The more angles depicting wear, use, and other marks of character, the better!

The winner will be judged by general consensus of the readers of this board, and as a prize will receive the thanks and appreciation of all who view these fine examples of craftsmanship. All other entrants will receive an Honorable Mention and similar thanks and appreciation.

So let's have some fun and show us what you've got! Oh, and Fuzzy, we all know you've stripped the Green Monster already, but I guess we could give you an Honorable Mention right off the bat for that one!!!

Beat up Teles for this contest? I'd love to see em, myself!

I got a good shot at winning this one, and I got no way to post a pic. I don't have a digital camera, and I don't think this used scanner I bought works. Guess I'm outta luck unless somebody in the Cleveland area wants to pitch in here.

I think Kodak make a disposable camera that gives you a photo cd. I definitely want to see more. I love the way maple ages and gets worn
