Actually, this Gibson is a Tele slayer. Those boomerang pickups are amazing. Two three pole pickups in the shape of a V, and are humbucking. A single coil, yet humbucker at the same time. It's a bit thin out of a big amp, but when plugged into a slightly underpowered amp like a Deluxe Reverb on a bigger stage and the volume cranked, it has a really viscous bite to the sound. Lots of treble and spank.

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

I call dibs on the green one!!

Now some would insist that mine's not a "real Telecaster" because she doesn't
have the distinctive Telecaster bridge p'up. Telecaster purists are a closed minded
bunch, to their detriment. And I don't care a fig. I never wanted a guitar that might
sound like someone else's guitar. I like to sound like me.


I just love this guitar. I've owned it since like 2009 or so, cain't recall
exactly. It's got a great sound all its own. Seems like my whole life has
been dedicated to the confounding of purists of all stripes. This guitar
helps with the mission.

Holy crap!! That looks nipular (GREAT!!), John!!

Those dials look magnificent. I'd copycat you but mine might be too cherry to pull that off.

For the record, I bought a second guard for this as you can see. I wanted one matte, not shiney. I did a nice steel whole job to make that happen. Also the purchased guard did not have the hole on both sides of the neck pickup. I had to drill out two. Came out great though ...even enough that I'm left with no OCD feelings about the work. That says a lot - if I don't like something minute ..even a solder joint, I'll carry it with me forever. Anyway, ...all good here.

Also, I've since added titanium saddles, even though that was a few years ago.
