How many teles ?

[robt57]

One does it for me! I considered an SH or HH, but my 339 style guitar has me covered.

Like to see some nice good close up pics of the tricky paint going on there.

As the Polis say.....

'anything you say, will be taken down and may be used in evidence, against you.'

I refuse to comment, without my lawyer being present.

Taking the A, I mean the 5th?

Personally I have 4 and think I’m good . I bet my mind will change with time , but this is how far it got by now:
1. 50’s ash/thick V shaped neck/alnico 3
2 . 60’s. Nato/ medium U shaped neck/ alnico 5
3. 70’s. pine/ medium modern C/ wide range HB
4. Cabronita ash/ medium C / filtertrons
I sold the others. You know .. needing vs wanting.
How about you ? What is to you a complete arsenal of teles?

You lack an Esquire, therefore your list is incomplete. That oversight must be corrected.

I'm making due with only two, can you believe it?

A stock AV '64 ( Lake Placid Blue ) that's just gorgeous, and an American Professional ( first edition of those ) currently wearing Custom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups. If I'm being honest the American Professional is more fun to play than the AV, I think because of the neck.

I can't see needing any more Telecasters. But you never know!

Here’s a better shot of the finish

Thanks, if I did not have a Bottle Rocket Blue Tele I don't know if I could pass on checking out one of those.. FOR.. SURE..

I have 3. A pair of AVRI's ('58 & '64)

And a '95 ASAT that apparently only gets played at the baddest north of the border basement jams

 

[FenderLover]

Only 7 Tele's, going for variety:
Maple neck/board, maple neck/rosewood board, solid rosewood neck; Fender wide range humbuckers, P-90's, Fender single coil, Fender Noiseless, TV Jones, Lollar CC; surf green, natural, butterscotch; Sapele, ash, mahogany w/curly maple, ash w/rosewood, pine; 2-pickup and 3-pickup; Tuned to G, tuned down 1/2 step, standard tuning, dropped D and double dropped D.

Just one.

My '63, that I've had for 51 years! Bought it at a garage sale in 1972 for $75.

Unforgivable (at least now in my later years) and totally unprofessional bad self done refin job (hey I was 12 when I did it).

Plays great, still my #1 after all this time!

Was originally Sonic Blue when I got it.

Nine so far, plus an Esquire project in the works, and a Deluxe body I bought by mistake that I'm not sure yet what I'll do with. Five were bought, four were built, and the only one I haven't modified is a Squier, weirdly.

That's not counting the one I'm building for my cousin's daughter as a surprise birthday present.

Two, sorta.
They’re both Cabronitas.

Awesome guitars. Curiously, what's tie official name for he color of the third-from-left (the greenish one, as it appears on my phone)? I like it a lot and was just wondering.

 

[SShrews824]

I just have one T-Style guitar at the moment. A Whitfill T-60. It definitely does all I want a Tele to do.

 

[robt57]

I'm a sucker for a 5 hole guard. Just looks congruent to me with a 21 fret Teles simplicity...

I don't buy Fenders..........I build my teles.

Your killing me with this ala Gigliotti top...

 

[Dismalhead]

I've got two Fenders and a piney partscaster. I used the tuners off the partscaster on another project though, so it's been out of action for a couple of years. My two Fenders are an '06 American Series and a '12 MIM Cabronita. Love both, I was thinking recently that they cover all my Tele needs.

3. 2 partscasters and one on the way plus a baritone squier.
