Been wanting to trade my strat for one for years. All my twang is a lie

Resurrecting this thread to share that I finally got the dream telecaster. 2012 American Vintage '52 with U-shape baseball bat neck



As a side note, I did indeed trade my strat away last year - for an upright bass.

Since you brought this thread back to life... I ended up grabbing the sister guitar to my other Joegira posted about earlier in this thread a few years back...

I was looking for a Tele when I found the Reverend...

Nice! I very nearly bought a Reverend tele a month or so ago. Seem like killer guitars.

I think I have the same one as Pigfarmer, I love my fender modern player tele for versatility. Got it used with all the decals, but they add character

2018 American Professional. And I love my Strat too. And I have a couple SGs. Love them too!

Mine is a copy made by Northern Guitars. (https://jedistar.com/northern-guitars/)

Ooh nice, I dig those maple leaf inlays.

Somehow I’ve missed this for years but here’s my Dakota Red partscaster, V to C 7.25-10” compound radius Musickraft neck, Gristle-Tone Tele pickups that do 60s voicing or 50s Broadcaster voicing, and a palm operated B-bender.

Also Zoe’s new Dodgers cap, I can’t control her terrible taste in baseball teams

speaking of which I have a very cool aged mint green 8-hole Tele pickguard that isn't right for my Tele bc it's a 5 hole pickguard. I did used to have it on my Tele before I changed it to the correct kind of pickguard, so it has whatever mojo I have, which might be a dealbreaker for you guys, haha. if anyone wants it lmk

Thanks! I don't think they're inlays, though. Stencilled on and varnished over. But yeah, I like them. Northern did that for all their guitars. Blue Note Music in Ottawa had a Northern copy of a Rickenbacker mounted over a doorway (probably still does), and it had them too. Unfortunately that bass was labelled Not For Sale, and I didn't try my luck.

By the way, I notice that everybody else's Tele has the high pickup exposed. Looks cooler, but also doesn't. One of those things.

I actually have a cover for mine, but I can't use it with the palm bender, as you can probably imagine hahaha
