Started out as a factory 1997 Tex Mex Telecaster Special (the model that was made only for 6 months as I've come to recently discover). The neck warped (my grandmother thought that she could turn the heat on only when somebody was in the basement, which was my bedroom... Explains why it was cold when I got home) so I replaced it with an AllParts TMO-FAT that I finished with Formby's Formulated Tung Oil. The bridge is from a '52RI and the bridge pickup is a Van Zandt Vintage Plus that I actually got off somebody from here years ago (sorry I don't remember who you are, but THANK YOU, I LOVE IT!!!).

Yep! Exactly! It's my first project so I went with a cheapy, but it's better than I expected actually.

I think Eden have left eBay now and they keep sending emails to buy more from they're site (which isn't up and running yet?) but I think this be the only Eden body I will ever use.

I would love to see how that thing turns out when you're done. :)

It seems they're still on eBay, though, and have plenty of things in their store.

Here's mine--I actually don't know much about it. I saw it in a local shop, it was cheap and sounded good, so I bought it

The alder body is, I think, from an MIJ tele--I can't remember. The previous owner had routed it for a third pickup. The neck is a very fat third party neck (maybe all parts? I can't remember) that somebody reliced to match an early 50s esquire--I actually found picture of the original that the guy had copied on the web.

I don't know what's in the bridge position. The neck position is a VintageVibe CCrider pickup.

here's a clip, a simple blues in G:

And a clip of both pickups:
http://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/magic/cherokee.mp3

I think I've settled on this guitar permanently. I sound as good as I'm ever going to sound on it, and I'm used to it

I made a tele years ago from scratch--it's all mahogany

http://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/omalley/tele/

I took the neck of the mahogany tele apart to redo and haven't gotten around to it

musicalmartin · September 7th, 2007, 09:08 AM

This is my first Tele partscaster .A Highway 1 body in sunburst with a Baja neck and tuners .Keystone pickups which sound very good .The neck pup is very good indeed .The bridge cuts like glassbut still had depth . It has Delta tone 2003 US tele controls.I like the Baja neck ,it suits my hands and has a nice vintage colour too it So far very pleased with it .I still have to fit the rest of the pickguard screws .Nothing too exciting just a nice straight Tele with some good tele tones

My best guitar! Parts Esquire made out of a USACG featherweight Swamp Ash body, Allparts V neck, A great sounding 70's Fender pickup rewound by David Plummer (Zangliquin)

gtrjones · September 7th, 2007, 10:24 AM

50s classic body, warmoth boatneck, glendale bridge/saddles, GFS pickups, homemade pickguard/armrest. This has kinda become my #1

The HotRod... ebay body, warmoth fatback, glendale bridge/saddles, GFS pickups. I still need to send the control plate template off to have an 'engine-turned aluminum' (like the old hotrod dashboards) plate made... It's a fun one, too...

I had something like that in my head for a while, primer black....pinstriped, engine turned hardware....very cool! What's the amp in the background? A 5E3? Love that cowboy vinyl....

Can't remember? I think it's Ash, maybe alder??? It doesn't matter, it's going to covered up with loads and loads of paint! Lol!

I've had it now for about 3 months and nothing doing yet. I don't plan to start it until I am positive which direction I am going with it. I've done 8 different colour tests with rattle cans with minor, to no success.

I'm not giving anything away at this point though, wanna make it a surprise for y'all!
