One of the rumours i heard was the hole was already in the guitar when it came to his hands, and he had a hole in all his others as though it was part of his "sound". They were awesome this christmas at the BIC Bournemouth btw, UP THE QUO.

Here are my three No #1s, from left to right, my CV Telecaster that my lovely wife in the middle (my REAL No#1 ) gave me for Christmas. The Tele on the right is a semi-partscaster, as the body & neck were purchased from The StratoSphere on eBay and originally from a 1985 MIJ '52 RI. The Bakelite pg and hardware are from Callaham (xcept the Fender bridge) and the pups are Duncans.

Now if I can only get up the nerve to do some light relicing without mucking up the guitars....

Don't relic the one in the middle!!

Actually, with a 93.8% chance of mucking up a perfectly beautiful toy, leave 'em all alone and play with 'em ('specially the middle one).

Thanks for the compliments. I've got another photo of a custom Springsteen PartsCaster I'd post, but my cute wife in that photo is wearing a little black dress and I don't want to get slapped on the wrist by the moderators...

noisemaker · January 30th, 2009, 06:47 PM

I HAVE FOUND OUT WHAT GUITAR THIS IS... ITS A (DRUMM ROLL).......

FENDER MUSICMASTER

Rabog · February 1st, 2009, 07:45 AM

Just a bit heavy @ 7.7lbs but, I just love this guitar, plays great Serial Z4******, I love vintage white. Not normally a fan of RW on Teles, but I think this just looks the biz...

mrtoulouse · March 5th, 2009, 02:54 PM

The Gibson used to be my fave, however since I got my newly acquirred hw1 tele I have a hard time choosing

The tele does, however seem to be more in my hands than the les paul. I have gigged only twice with the tele, and I loved it. I was however a bit dissapointed with the fretwork on it. This is the 5th tele I have had home in my search for the right tele. The first 2 had defect trussrods, the next a faulty wiring, and the 4th not a defect truss rod, but one that was not able to straighten enough even with 9's. And finally, when I came across this one I thought it was perfect, only to discover by lowering the strings a tad, that I had to put in some falloff to the upper frets, and cut the nut to perfection. I know this is something that most manufactures seem to not do these days, but the level inequality and lack of falloff was very critisizable for a US made guitar this price.
Anywho, now, after 3-4 hours of fret work, it plays smooth as butter, and sounds just as great:)

The amp is a marshall 20 watter, through which the tele sounds nothing short of amazing

Great guitars you guys have:)

Cheers from one happy tele player from Denmark.

kerc · March 5th, 2009, 05:15 PM

I know, it's not a Tele. Reverend Club King 290, one of about 12 finished in tobacco burst, modified with a maple fretboard neck and black pup covers.

telepathetic · March 6th, 2009, 09:16 AM

For a loooong time my #1 was a '92 SRV Strat. Then I slowly made my way to the wonderful world of Tele's!
I have 4 of them now but the one I go to most of the time is this one that was assembled by Darren Riley in Raleigh, NC about a year ago.
I got the body from some one on eBay for $54. I was already painted and had the Gretsch strap buttons on it. I bought the neck (TMNF-Fat) from Allparts. The pickups are a SD Hot for Tele set. The bridge & saddles are Wilkinson. The only genuine Fender part is the neck plate. I chopped up a Fender decal to make it a Fedner.

DeanLittle · July 17th, 2009, 10:39 PM

Imagination and Creativity leads to a greater understanding of who we are and where we're going. The work everyone here (on this thread) has put into these guitars is absolutely incredible.

These images below show but only a few of the paint technologies available at HARD Lifestyle. If you've seen these guys on TLC's Paint Misbehavin then you know Imagination and Creativity is their life line as much as it is yours.

My Only #1. 2005 American Deluxe. with my VoxAC30cc2 and Boss GT-6 pedal.

By the way, that is a genuine 60's Ace strap. Hendrix owned/used this same pattern.
