I know we've had a thread like this somewhere before, but I can't find a good solid collection of Tele photolust.

Whatcha' got?

I flirt with Tele purchases but have never pulled the trigger.

Any brand/configuration that turns you on - I just wanna see some photos...

 
It's a work in progress.

It has progressed considerably from this stage:

I've had a love relationship with teles for about 30 years now. There were a few years that I didn't have one, but those days are over. There are 2 very different tele's in the stable right now.

First is a Revelator '63 relic clone. I realize that there are a couple of people on the board who were wronged by Eric, and are rightfully pi$$ed. But my experience with him has been fine, although he is very very slow. I've owned this guitar as long as any other, and it is my absolute #1, I'd get rid of every other guitar before this one.

Next is a recent edition, an ESP Ronnie Wood Custom Shop. This is much more refined than the Revelator, and with the neck HB, it's a bit more versatile. It plays as well as any other guitar I've ever owned. I would prefer the frets to be a touch higher, but I'm getting used to them.

Teles are the "old glove" type of guitar that I always come back to eventually and I always have to have one around. Down to two and a project that I need to finish up, but I love these two:

1999 Fender AVRI 62 Custom Tele converted to Custom Esquire.

My Robin Rawhide.

Transparent orange with scrape binding on body and f-hole; flamey maple neck with rosewood fingerboard; cream, pearloid pickguard & pickups.

It weighs a mere 6.4 lbs, and is (to coin a phrase) "resonant as hell!"

Really nice guitar!

 
This is the one and only Fender that I've owned...Sold it to buy a Hamer...(Note: yes, I know, it's not a pure "tele")...

Here's a little Esquire build I finished recently. Japanese tele neck, aftermarket body, brass bridge, and a Duncan Quarter Pounder. All black hardware, and even a custom control plate with vol./tone (no switch). This one is all business.

BUT DAMN........A lot of guitars have come and gone but I've never entertained the idea of selling this one. Thanks to Roy and RS.
