j/k

Congrats, those are sweet. The backs are amazing, I'd play it inside out.

JohnnyCrash · April 23rd, 2007, 11:49 PM

I wonder if those beautifully grained puppies are sweating it being placed so closely to a fireplace.

NICE!

Vegasrock · April 24th, 2007, 12:02 AM

One looks to have been born with a few extra strings.

Nice guitars!

Buckocaster51 · April 24th, 2007, 12:07 AM

Well now there then now!

The GRINCH is pleased with what he sees!

esteban · April 24th, 2007, 12:09 AM

Specs please...

and imagine what 12 strings would look like with a Tele headstock...

Alaskan Fly Guy · April 24th, 2007, 12:10 AM

Pretty much says it all... Another WOW!

stantheman · April 24th, 2007, 12:26 AM

From Parts Unknown - The Teletrons.
Sure look sweet.
What's that 6 string sound like?
What degree of Twang?
Is getting The Pete Anderson Tone effortless?

MulliganChebichev · April 24th, 2007, 01:39 AM

Man, my jaw dropped when I scrolled down!

Please enlighten us about your new guitars!

incaowns · April 24th, 2007, 05:46 AM

daviddoubleu · April 24th, 2007, 06:13 AM

Droooooooooooool, drooooooooooool, drooool.

Tells us all about you're twins.... pleeeease?

fenderix · April 24th, 2007, 06:16 AM

Oh my ......... beautiful guitars ....

Please give us some more details rhomco!

tjalla · April 24th, 2007, 06:35 AM

What does it for me is how tasty the 'burst is - just a hint of black and fade around the edges... and usually I don't dig gold hardware on a tele, but in this case it suits perfectly, esp with the dark headstocks...

Post audio clips asap!

Sarge · April 24th, 2007, 08:26 AM

Man...that'd sure make a Daddy proud! Beautiful tele's.

rhomco · April 24th, 2007, 10:24 AM

It's a great feeling to wake up to so many wowsers from you guys. These are sister alder bodies with Maple Tops. The six uses a 24-3/4 scale neck and the twelve is 25-1/2 scale. I had planned to put TDPRI PARTSCASTER Decals on them but the black headstock face hides the "partscaster" lettering. Both have the new Gretsch TV Jones Filtertrons and twang very nicely. As you might expect they do the Gretsch thing very well. I prefer the sound of these solid bodies compared to the hollow ones I have built. These pickups are cool! Not a hot overwound gainy tone at all. Actually quite single coil sounding but quiet! They let the amp do it's thing and sit very well with my 57 Deluxe clone or Vox AC-30. I did the six first and have been playing the bejesus out of it. Just finished the twelve and still tweaking the nut/action set up before they go on the block as a pair. I dont have to keep reminding myself that I have too many telies, my wife (CEO) does that!
Thanks again for all the encouragement..........

You made them?

Absolutely gorgeous!

OutlawSteph1975 · April 24th, 2007, 02:28 PM

Rob, your twins are BEAUTIFUL! I need some shades to even look at them..

I am so impressed with the luthier skills are so many guys here, and these are two of the finest I've ever seen.

Grin'n'pick · April 24th, 2007, 02:44 PM

They look incredible!

I'm more of a modder than a maker:) I put together whatever dream guitar (tele based, of course) someone wants.
Thanks again for all the kind words.
