My New Tele...(w/pics)

ajgus · January 22nd, 2008, 11:26 PM

So finally, here is my new/first Telecaster. She's a Deluxe Series Nashville. Honey Blonde w/ a maple neck. I threw a chrome cover over the middle pickup (I think it looks pretty cool). I may mod it out w/ something noiseless in the bridge & neck. And I just may get rid of the mid pup all together. But, for now I'm gonna take my time & enjoy. Hope you do too...

You're right... the chrome cover over the middle pickup does look cool. :)

That's a nice collection, I'm envious!

For a first Tele, that is mighty fine, my favorite of the Nashville's. Welcome to the club.

The 5-man rotation looks to have most of the bases covered!

Congrats.

That Strat is actually a partscaster I built. The color is Krylon "Camo Khaki". Its usually used for painting tree stands, pickup trucks, & other hunting stuff. Its kinda Sage Green/Beige. It looks a little more greenish in the photo. Glad you like it.

gtrwrks · January 23rd, 2008, 10:16 AM

I like it. What color/model is the Strat? Unique looking w/the red tort 'guard.

Easydog · January 23rd, 2008, 10:52 AM

nice first tele! congrats! You may have changed the nashvilles for me. the strat P/u has laways looked so out of place, but the chrome cover changes everything. Looks good!

Thanks! Its an mid 90's squire body w/ an early 90's squire fat strat neck. All of the hardware is genuine fender. Aged cream knobs, pickup covers & switch tip w/ a "Tiger Tortoise" pg. The color like I said is "Camo Khaki". The pickups are stock squire (can you say "HUMMMMM"). Sometime this spring I plan to swap 'em out w/ Vintage Noiseless. Plays & feels amazing. Still working on getting it to sound that way!

ajgus · January 23rd, 2008, 10:59 AM

Also, I commited the cardinal sin. I put a 50's style "spaghetti" Fender logo on the head. I know its wrong, but it never leaves the house & I don't try to pawn it off as a Fender. Its Just for the look.
