Tele's only Club

Late to the thread but here's my Teles.

Fender Page Dragon:
Swapped out the stock pups for vintage noiseless and a 4-way switch with series/parallel.

Burl top kit build:
Started out kinda normal with tele sized rail HB's and a coil split switch.
Routed out for P-90's and 2V/2T configuration & toggle switch.

When it comes to telecastering, my "Team Tele" is up to the job.
Sporty, Posh, Cowboy and Groovy all ready to go

I don’t know if we are supposed to resurrect old threads (if not, I’m sorry!)…but…

Here’s my Twang of Telecasters:

My #1, the 1995 MIM Fender Tele Special, aka “Big Tex”:

The most recent addition, the Fender Classic Series ‘72 Telecaster Custom, aka “Keef”:

Fender Classic Series ‘72 Telecaster Deluxe, aka “Bevo” (which is about to undergo some modification, renovation and customization):

And the dearly-departed Fender Modern Player Telecaster Thinline Deluxe aka “Little Sister” (shown here with Big Tex in it’s pre-pinstriped state):

The two AmPro Deluxes

The white one is the ever-so-slightly better-playing and -sounding of the two, but they are both fantastic and are my main players these days. I just think the maple fretboard suits the pickups better, and I like the feel of it over the rosewood on these.

Then there is this one that started the ball rolling, a '72 Classic

This one is on the chopping block. Its a killer guitar but I really don't need three and space is at a premium because I just ordered another Stratocaster.
