So here is my latest new guitar. It's a little Indonesian tele that I play at home because I am a bass player and have no need for stage worthy guitars, but I'd do it in a heart beat. I had a big 100 lb peavey tnt amp I no longer used and moved it about three times from house to house, so it had to go.. I like it, sounds great with my tweaker head and Marshall cab.7

Rip it up, bro. I dig!
A cool tele mod; get a 4-way switch. It lets you run the bridge and neck in series in addition to the three usual options.
Sweet, thank you. I'm going to do the giilmour mod on my strat eventually.

I wired up my strat with new Timbo pickups and a push pull for neck-bridge series and I'd recommend having that as an option as well! All without adding an extra switch on a tele, heck yeah!

That's what I'm thinking

Great looking Tele. If you are going to rewire it you should grab some of Timbo's pickups for the beast.

Seconded! I'm loving my set of Timbo pickups in my strat.
Nice!
It just seems like no matter the price point, Teles all manage to play and sound pretty damn good. 8)
While we are at it modding your guitar go ahead and flip that control panel around and swap the V and T pots. You will be able to do sweet volume swells and drive the ladies crazy ;)
i like it!!

It's true! I have landed tons of chicks just from doing this simple mod...wait it was just one chick that weighed a ton ;D
Nice Tele! I like the colour/pickguard combo.

That's what I'll do next time my Mexi-Strat is in bits. I used a push-push pot on my Strat build and it works very well. Extra sounds for minimal cost and effort.

Nice! I like the combo of the pickguard with the red burst.
Nicely done Jimi. Most of my guitars are a fleet of cheapo mutts that look nowhere near as good as that one but they play like guitars ten times the price.
After making my tele from scratch I loaded it with Seymour Duncans and it sounded just silly good. I love the sound of the series pickups but was experiencing a unique tele phenomenon called "black guard disease". Static build up was causing the neck pickup to crackle on contact. I did all kinds of shielding etc, and finally just pulled the cover off the neck pickup. The result was so killer (loads more volume and top end) that I rewired it back to stock and haven't looked back. I can easily do entire sets (ok, "services") on the neck pickup alone.
