Show Us Your Teles with Natural Finish!

Here's my ol' B bender avatar guitar.
It's been with me 30 years.
Bill Giebitz made the body, replaced the fingerboard and refinished it.
Bill originally finished it Kelly green "candy color".
I got him to do a "hippie natural" refin about ten years ago.
Much better, IMO.

Here's my DY Telecaster Guitar!
It has a very light body of Polowina wood, and a 4 way switch, with humbucker in neck, with a push-push, tone control..

I have a few natural T-ypes.

Aiersi 66 Bound Custom (albert collins homage - Pickgaurd changed to white since pic taken)

Aiersi 68 Thinline

Aiersi 72 Bound Custom (Keith Richards Homage - Correct saddles since pic taken)

Fullmoon Crossroads Custom Build (work in progress)

Harley Benton TE-52 Telecaster

Yamaha Pacifica 311MS

Though these all low level guitars, they all feel and sound fantastic.

Just got this new American professional. It’s a beaut, kinda wondering how it would look with a white or off white pickguard, but digging the black.

Natural ash finish.

Here's one I recently finished, I love the look of a Bigsby tailpiece on a Tele.

Love the pickguard choice

2HG, are all 3 yours? And I'm not real savvy when it comes to G&Ls, but each of those looks to me like a mix of FMIC and G&L. Are they each modded to some degree?

Just saw your questions - Yes, well all but the last one... which I sold a few years back in 2015. Yeah nah, all are pure G&L (Leo-era) none of the BBE stuff which IMB isn't all that much diff than FMIC... The first one former TDPRI member, Fezz Parka, bought from Dale Hyatt back in the early 90's... apparently it was a one-off test instrument lurking in Leo's lab. I got it 2nd or 3rd hand off eBay. The second one - a '90's ASAT Signature was in a fire hence the finish... has a replacement p/g. As mentioned, the third no longer belongs to me but is a completely stock Leo-era ASAT Classic Signature in OHSC. Old school goodness.
