I’ve been looking at every T guitar for months. I really had decided to get the new Fender Road Worn 50s model because I like the specs and nitro finish, but the more I think about it I think I’d like building my own. I want a light ash body, MJT to nitro finish it, and then probably a road worn...

Hey guys/gals, I was just hoping to open a conversion about tweed amps and guitars. Little bit of a ramble below, apologies. I just bought my first American made guitar. It is a used Les Paul Studio Deluxe 2 from 2013 (I am long time Tele guy and will never sell the MIM I have had and modified...

Hello all, If this post is in the wrong place please let me know. What I’m interested in is buying a plain wood Tele body and sending it somewhere to be nitro painted. Does anyone know where Fender sources their wood from for CS builds? Or where I can get comparable or even better? Same with...

Just curious if there’s anyone out there that has ever bought a CS guitar and ended up regretting it / having some buyers remorse? If so, what made you change your tune? Did you custom order it and realize you wanted other specs during the waiting period? Was it a team build that you maybe...

I am only five minutes in and thought I would post a link due to the Tele at about 2.30. The purists/non modders should not click.

**** Price reduced **** For sale is a one of a kind thinline telecaster hand built by Maricopa Guitars in 2018. I'm asking $1600. Free shipping to the CONUS. The guitar is in excellent condition with NO dents, dings, scratches, or buckle rash. The frets are in excellent shape. It does show...

I do hope this is a new topic: we all know that Jimmy Page recorded many Led Zeppelin tracks on a Tele when common belief would be that he used his famous Les Paul...so, are there any other artists that are typically known to play other guitar models, that actually recorded tracks in the studio...

Hi, I have one of these: The problem: The High E is falling off the neck worse than other guitar I've owned. I've done the unscrew the rear bolts and push/pull on the neck but that has only made a minor difference. I love the sound but every single one I saw in the shop had the same issue...

Hi all. Hoping someone with a good level of knowledge could help me out with this. I have, what I believed to be, a Fender MIJ 50th anniversary telecaster whcih was produced around 1994. I bought this a few years ago but never really looked into the serial number of it. It plays good so I've...

Hi folks! Just finished my second telecaster build. Here are the specs: Woods - Fret Dressed WD Neck 12" Ebony Fretboard Neck - Custom built contoured ash tele body by USA MADE GUITARS on reverb Hardware - Custom CNC'd ebony stained walnut pickguard - Gotoh in-tune bridge - Custom CNC'd...

Been a while since I've been on here! Used to be on all the time a years ago, it's good to be back. I picked up this toploader loaded body the other day (for free off FB) and am kind of stumped as to what it may be. The guy thought it was a Squier but if so I really don't know what model it...

Hi all! Hope you're having a great day. Yesterday I have started a new big project - to build a guitar with no electricity, which means no router, no bandsaw and not even a digital caliper. So far I've carved the truss rod channel with a chisel and here's a video of the process that I took...

Hi! A guy offered me in trade his USA 60th anniversary Telecaster (US10.. Serial number). The official Fender s/n lookup identifies the following guitar: "60TH ANNIVERSARY TELE MN BGB" From what I can see, it should be 2011/2012 production. I never heard of them, anyone is owning one of them...

I made this song after buying this lovely Fender Baja Telecaster and was so amazed at how good it sounded, i couldnt stop playing. Thus this 6 minute opus into twang. enjoy.

I have a newer American Original 60’s tele in Lake Placid Blue. I find the pickguard and binding really bright white. Would the binding and guard get more cream/yellowed/aged ? I believe the finish is gloss nitro. Or is this a newer type of nitro finish that won’t change colour on the binding?

I’m might be going out on a limb here, but I figured there’s no harm in trying. I figured I should build a partscaster. Now here’s an idea I had…I know this might be weird, but I figured I’d ask TDPRI members if you have any telecaster parts to spare. I think it would be cool to own a...

Hi, TDPRI people! First of all, I just registered but I have been visiting this site for years, lurking and learning quite a bit from you all. Thanks for the massive knowledge repository you've made of this site! 🤗 I have an issue that I haven't been able to sort out even after reading loads...

Hey guys! Just did a video shooting out 3 telecaster and wanted to share with y'all! It would be interesting to hear, what are you looking for in a tele? Cheers!

Don't be scared. I'm not a waltz type of a guy so I don't know where this came from, but, it's all music! Let me know what you think. For some contrast listen to Chocolate Chip Pancakes on the Soundcloud link below

Hi all, I was unable to find the diagram I needed for this setup, so I made this diagram to show how I solved the issue I was having with using a dual-ganged volume pot for 2 different values of volume control (one for each pickup). It would be even more beneficial for a guitar with a tele...

Can you guys give examples and links to your favorite Telecaster tones? I'm talking about the wide range of tones that a Telecaster can produce. Even unusual tones are welcome. I would just like to hear all the possible tones this guitar can achieve. Also, if you have your own, please share...

Hello everyone, some help would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any ideas or info please - I'll put a poll up in case people dont have time to give their explanation but here is the dilemma I face. I own a MIM fender tele player in butterscotch, a fender tele thinline modern with p90s and a...

Hi, sorry if y'all are sick to death of this kind of post. Can't quite find the answers I am looking for. So this is the Squier Affinity Tele and I have just bought this seymour duncan hot rails for the bridge. I want to know - - How do I tell if my pots are 250k or 500k? I keep reading that I...

Hey guys, admittedly I'm a bit of a novice with vintage fender so I could use some help. I got this tele body at an estate sale from a guy who roadied pretty heavily in the 60s-80's, and lived about 5 miles from the original fender workshop. There was a table of maybe 8 bodies and 12 necks...
