Welcome Wormy, Thats a great looking Tele you got yourself! Gotta love p90's! I like the controll plate- Makes the tele look even more 'simple'

Thanks for the kind word my friend. This 89' American standard was the axe I learned on. My Dad (who is a player as well) bought me this guitar as a birthday present in Jan. 89'. I learned on it , and I play it still to this day ! I have had countless pickup configurations in it over the years but I have had the pictured pups and control plate in it for a few years now and I guess it will stay as such. I never liked or used tone controls on a guitar so I just eliminated it all together. I like to send all the rich and full tone of the guitar to the amp as much as I can. A tone pot just gets in the way IMHO. I set the tone at the amp and let'r run ! I really love my old 89' ! She sounds and plays as good as she looks. I do all my own work/mods myself. It's more personal that way IMO.

Duncan Vintage P-90 in neck
Rio Grande "Muy Grande" in bridge
standard 3-way switching with 250 vol and NO TONE POT !

Works great for me !

... to the TDPRI, WORM1595! This is the best place on the internet and a must for any fan of the Telecaster. You'll like it here.
Your Telly looks real nice and with that P/U configuration I bet it sounds powerful.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the warm welcome ! Yes..........my pickup configuration is very "lively & in your face ". I run a Fuchs Lucky 7 or my Orange Tiny Terror into a vintage Marshall 4x10 cab with a dab of analog delay for added seasoning and I am constantly complimented on my tone. VERY, VERY "ballsy" tone IMO.

Cool guitar, I always like tortoise with sunburst, one of the most striking combinations. Your dad made sure you were learning on the best!

At the time (being young and stupid) I would have been a little happier with some fancy, fast looking axe with lots of switches and knobs but once I learned the ropes on a Telecaster, nothing has ever captured my heart like that "Tele Twang " !

Dad knew exactly what he doing for sure !!

markothefish · June 10th, 2007, 05:52 PM

NICE !!! I like the P90 neck sound .Nice looking body on that , veryyy Pretty

Telemarkman · June 10th, 2007, 06:34 PM

Welcome aboard WORM1595 !

Not exactly the classic Tele look, but a beautiful guitar nonetheless.

3-tone sunburst and a tortoise pickguard is a deadly combination.

Welcome to TDPRI WORM1595...i hope 1595 wasn't the year you was born. I love the guitar. To my everlasting shame i have to admit that i have yet to play a Tele with a p90 in the neck pocket. It's an interesting combination. I have a PRS with p90's and i love that.

Jack Knife · June 10th, 2007, 07:03 PM

Cool rig, Worm! I dig hotrod guitars and your's is one of the coolest I've seen in a while
