Can’t. Don’t have one with fancy figured top.

I really need to get some better pics.

The neck is figured too, but I don't have a back pic of the guitar after it was done.

Mine are all solid tops, as they should be.

I don't post this one because it's not put together anymore. I really need to get it going again, but I want to buy a different neck for it when I do. I had it set up with a short scale conversion neck, but I think a "real" Tele needs a long scale maple neck to sound right.

Sometimes i miss this beautiful tele & def miss the amp.......

 

[ibmorjamn]

Mine is still resting. Until I get off my butt and put it together. It's just a Mahogany grain, nothing special.

Seems all my spare times goes in to making Cowboy rap these days.
Maybe next it will be Gladis Knight sings Iron Man. Lol

BTW by far the best Tele i ever played.. A/B fair comparison The FB can do Tele especially mid position & with more character

I wasn't going to add photos since my two Tele's aren't official Fender Teles. Nor do they have figured tops. Then I figured.... what the heck. The brown one is a SAGA kit guitar I purchased years ago off eBay. It was beyond ugly since the assembler guy used a paint brush to apply color. Sanded it down to bare wood. Stained it and added multiple coats of Tung Oil. I did add a 4-Way switch. Different bridge for thru body string mounting.

The green one is an ash body blank I also purchased years ago. Stained Emerald Green and will get numerous coats of Tru-Oil. Warmoth neck. P90 pups. And a few other goodies. The grain pattern really doesn't come out real well in the photo.... but is pretty nice looking in person.

Ibilive all but 1 of these entries are not real Teles so be my guest and post up yours. I got a Tele at my Moms somewhere but its yellow lol.

 

[67plexi]

I have two Telecasters and Two Esquires best sounding in the bunch one piece swamp ash body Esquire

I do have a flame quilt neck

 

[BFT Gibson]

Everything is basically a partscaster with fender.. Leo was smart, its the Ford production line of guitars. I favor Gibson because of the music played over the years but fenders are such easy guitars to mess with

@JohnnyGoo is correct and the rules have been broken as a result. I'll introduce ....The Telecaster:
