Here’s my ‘72 Fender Tele Custom with an ‘80 Gibson Tarback in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Little’59 in the bridge.

This one already came custom HR’d from the factory.
My ‘03 Tom Anderson Hollow T Drop Top HSH.

This isn’t your grandfather’s country Tele.

Actually I just gave that guitar a switch tip that has a setscrew. Tele switch tips are the worst for some reason.
 
Not sure of the body but this has a park lane neck, Manlius broadcaster bridge p/u and Manlius T-90 in the neck

And I’m gonna count this as a tele. It’s my “single barrel” tele. Tonebomb body stained with bourbon and analine dye, Warmoth V neck and a Seymour Duncan BG1400 pickup

Whole lot of fucking going on in this thread :love:
I always wanted a Hot Rod Tele.

I was just considering building one, then I came across a Charvel at a serious discount.

I figure, if I strip this thing of all it's hardware and put on stuff I like, I am still ahead of the game.
 
I feel that; I spec'd out my Warmoth specifically to be like a San Dimas 2
I am really surprised of the quality of this guitar.

I was concerned it was made in Mexico because the MIM strats feel really junky to me.

The body and the neck on this thing is really nice.

Next on Deck will be this one piece Musikraft Mahogany body. Planning on using some Odie oil on it and a reverse headstock Musikraft neck down the road. Still in the planning stages.
