NGD: Going Wild In The Woods With FCS '55 Fiesta Red Tele

[telemnemonics]

Nice deep color for fiesta!
Less pink, more deep and saturated?
Or is it your lighting and camera?

 

[telemnemonics]

That neck shape looks a lot like the Warmoth boatneck, my main Esquire has one and I took a chance not expecting to like it so much.
Nice full shoulder for a “V”, sort of a V but not the sharp narrow edge.

 

[Duncan]

That is a very nice guitar. If I were to order another CS Tele, it would be very close to those specs. I would imagine you have a keeper for life with that one.

 

[ianmac]

Very nice

Finally got my dream Fiesta Red Tele. Wildwood "10" ticked all the right buttons for me: Maple Neck, Soft V Profile Neck, Single Ply 5-Hole Parchment Pick Guard, and beautifully thin nitro finish (what Wildwood calls their "Relic-Ready" finish. Now how's that for a polarizing marketing scheme ) which very subtly exposes some nice grain lines when the light hits it just right.

I think Santa Claus would really dig this guitar, too. He could justify his GAS to Mrs. Claus by saying to her, "Hey, I needed a guitar to match my suit while playing 'Jingle Bell Rock'.

Nice…how many fiesta red Teles were made in 1955?

 

[AKBluesDude]

Sweet guitar !! I've got a RebelRelic '55 in Dakota Red . . . bought it from someone in Australia. It's the one Erwin is playing in this video. I love that guitar.

 

[Galen1960]

I am not a fan of Fiesta Red but the grain of that neck is magnificent.

 

[ChicknPickn]

Ah, the beauty of a classic standard Tele . . . . .

 

[Mr Swisher]

That is incredble!

Very nice. I like those specs. Interesting, it appears that the ash was left somewhat unsealed before paint.

 

[ladave]

Perfection, and my favorite neck shape!

 

[tigertail]

I'm coveting that bad boy.

 

[4pickupguy]

Yeah man! Frickin’ stunning guitar !! Love the amber nitro on the neck. Beautiful guitar

 

[dreamingtele]

Now thats a guitar to own for life!

 

[stylemessiah]

You almost had me....

I dont get the "Exclusive Wildwood Custom 10" Radius" thing

To me its like grasping at straws to come up with "something" different to convince people to part with money

Theres only so many ways you can roll a Strat or Tele

Then its just desperation for money grabbing....

Perfection. My favourite body / neck combo.
I’ve built similar partscasters but would love something like this.
