Beautiful guitar. Not flash, which would, to me, go against the Tele ethos, just quality, quietly understated. Is it, and this is not meant to be disparaging, a partcaster using new Fender components fine tuned and assembled by Dave?Really impressed. 7.2lbs, ash body, nice dark slab rosewood neck (very comfy). I don't mind the custom shop Texas Specials but may swap them eventually. This guitar rings loudly and you can feel the vibrations all thru the body. The threaded steel saddles are cool, no intonation issues and the dark fretboard dots look nice too. Fret size is perfect, they spec'd this guitar nicely.

Very nice Tele....Congrats! I really like the Texas Specials....I put them in my '92 American Standard Tele 24 years ago and still love 'em. They do their own thing and do it very well.

I dare say these Teles can rival my friend's Dano that I played recently.

Dave's and Wildwood used to have many of the same special edition exclusives, particularly the "thin skins". Dave's seems to have continued but I haven't seen as many from Wildwood.
I had one of their 62 Thin Skins in White Blonde(both Wildwood and Dave's had them) and it was great. They also had many "blackguard" thin skins and a white blonde 55 thin skin. If my memory is correct, those guitars around 2010 were in $1200 range.
I think those were in the same vein as the ones in this thread.
I need to visit Dave's website more frequently.

I hadn't seen a new one for a long time but right on cue they seem to have conjured one up: https://www.davesguitar.com/collect...erican-1962-reissue-telecaster-vintage-blonde

Fender Telecaster 1963 Blonde — SS VINTAGE
Here's an all original, feather weight, Blonde 1963 Fender Telecaster with a rosewood neck! This is truly one of the best Tele's we've ever had. It's super resonant, and plays with ease! The neck is a little larger/rounder than a standard "C" shape, while the original frets still have lif
