Dr. Bear Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The wife and I may relocate to smaller digs, possibly back to her native U.K., so I’ve got to keep only those guitars required for likely future set lists. Please PM so I can email you close-up photos and answer questions. 1986 TLE w/OHSC Very lightweight with Sustain Block Bridge. My tech installed a stellar pickup combination: Lollar Imperial + SD Classic Stack Plus for Strat Plus + SD Little ’59. Slight buckle rash and a discolored patch near the pickups. Plays fast with recent fret dressing. Asking $1200 plus actual shipping: and.... Warmoth Tele w/TKL locking case Mint. Warm mahogany body with stunning swamp ash top. Warmoth compound radius neck with stainless steel frets and locking tuners. Pickups: Fralin Blues Special and Fralin Pure PAF. (I’ve held on to this forever ‘cause I think it’s f’king perfect but facts is facts: despite decades with Fenders bursitis ended my life on a 25.5” scale.) Y’all know the drill with Warmoth… ask about half of what you’ve put into it. Asking $750 plus actual shipping: pickups: Seymour Duncan Distortion and Seymour Duncan ’59 asking $100 for both including shipping Seymour Duncan JB asking $45 including shipping Hamer USA humbucker asking $25 including shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennyboy-UK Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I’ll take the Hamer Hamburger if it’s an 80s Slammer and you are cool with shipping to the Uk? (Obvs I’ll pay for that ) I can arrange the shipping if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bear Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Rugby, I never, ever planned to part with the Warmoth — even sold a couple of topline Fenders rather than lose that one — but my entire technique is now based around 24.75”, so much so that I sold an truly mint core PRS because it was 25”.

Dr. Bear Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Oh, of the pickups only the JB remains now. Burningyen, hoping this isn't an overstatement but I think of this Warmoth as a USA guitar for an import price. But as you are building your own, you know.

Dr. Bear Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Duly chastised for not posting a few more closeups of the ash and mahogany Warmoth Tele. Hence, (That whitish line across the bottom is a reflection. There are no scratches whatsoever.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I can see now from the newer pics that the neck is a Modern Construction. Is the neck profile the Standard Thin or fatter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bear Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Good eyes! I will look up the specs on my computer tomorrow morning. I know I saved the original order sheet. I am pretty sure that the neck feels rather similar to that on a Fender American Elite/Ultra Tele. (I think that the Warmoth neck has better fretwork than any non-Custom Shop I’ve played.) But I will check the specs tomorrow morning and email you promptly. —Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickrock999 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Not familiar with the Warmouth Tele, curious as to how it would be different / better that say a Fender American Standard Telecaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different body wood, pickups, bridge. Warmoth can build you a neck or body to your preference if it's in their listing or have them build you a Fender profile of each. You can make it different/better for you to call your own. I recently picked up a Warmoth maple Boatneck for a Strat style build I'm working on. That Warmoth Tele sure is tempting though!

golem Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'm tempted by that tele. Not sure I'll be back in the US before you move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bear Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 We have not decided for certain to move but as that is a real possibility we are trying to prepare as best we can. Just send me a PM if you’re interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
