Thanks! I believe its prior owner put the black scratchplate on. I think the original one was white or cream. The black one doesn't quite match up to the chrome control plate, there's a smidge of Sharpied card stock that I stuck underneath it, to cover the very small gap and keep dust out.

Then again, it has the distinction of having been my instrument of choice the night I played bass for Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bo Diddley, so there's that! ;) Bum ba bum ba bum ba dum bum!

Here's a closeup of Brownie, the Telecaster Special. One of my most versatile guitars, tone-wise. 5-way switching:
Bridge in position 1,
bridge and HB in single coil mode in position 2,
HB and bridge in position 3,
HB in single coil mode in position 4, and
HB in position 5.

Cool. And a 5 way switch. Even cooler. I stuck a 4 way into my Fake Tele.

Yeah, definitely the most tonal variety of any of my guitars, edging out two with a 3-pickup/5-way setup (my Strat Coco pictured in this thread, and a Brownsville Choirboy), and my Peavey T-60 (2 splittable humbuckers, plus an out-of-phase switch) and Dano Hodad (2 splittable dual-lipsticks).

One of my better $125 purchases. ;)

1986 Fender F-250 (MIK)
My first guitar, nicknamed “First Baby”

1986 Fender F-270CE (MIK)
A gift from a now-deceased friend, who inspired the nickname of the guitar, “Uncle Joe”…this is the guitar my daughter has claimed for herself, and plays constantly.

I always love looking at your collection, @Brian Krashpad

You have some cool stuff.

Ta Red. I am very fortunate (or blessed, if you do the whole "Higher Power" thing) to have acquired a mess of very fun axes! And amps. Of course. one way or another (mostly "another," in most people's books, I'm guessing), I've been playing for over 50 years, so there's been plenty of time for all that gear to pile up!

In fact, I'm actually trying to pare down the "collection" (I don't particularly cotton to that term, considering myself MUCH more "player" than "collector") a little bit currently. I've sold a couple of the cheapest of the pieces on the block (a 1x12 cab previously owned by Charlie Hargrett of the Southern Rock band Blackfoot, and a solid state Laney combo amp). But I still have several others to move: an Epi (setneck) LP Special in TV White, a Crate 200W bass head, a Marshall 5210 50W 80's 1x12 combo amp, and a Peavey ValveKing VK 212 100W tube combo amp. So hopefully over a grand swinging/incoming, haha!

And even when that's all sold, I'll still have a totally ridiculous boatload of gear.
