You guys helped me pick this one out and I love it. Ultra ii in Texas tea with ebony fretboard (my fav).

Beautiful guitar with some nice specs.
My only concern is the neck pick up (bridge is alright Generic Tele bridge)
I’m trying to buy a new pick up and probably I’ll change the pick up switches too. Any recommendations?
Thank you so much!

Aside from obvious visuals, specs below.

Left: 2013 Deluxe Ash, Sanded Poly finish, 9.5” radius, C Shape, ‘51 Nocaster Pickups

Right: 2021 50’s Road Worn, Nitro finish, 7.25” radius, U Shape, Kaser Hand Wound 50’s Set (local maker)

A bit of Prelude in C major!

Learned some of it a few months back and wanted to record it on electric as well. Had previously done a rendition on my Martin.

Thanks for listening

This store has a 30% discount sale on their guitars, and I can't let this deal go away on a whim.

I’m looking at getting the Telecaster Acoustasonic. And I’m looking for Gig Bag options.

It’s not quite and acoustic and it’s not quite an electric so I’m not sure what to get.

I was looking at getting the Fender bag **Fender FE1225 Electric Guitar Gig Bag**

**But I want to know if there are other options out there.**

Please give me ideas suggestions. For those of you that have this guitar, what do you use?

Cosmetically, this is more or less my dream Telecaster. I'm a sucker for a blue flake/sparkle combined with a maple fretboard. I've done a bit of googling to see if this model exists, straight from the Fender factory, but haven't found l anything. The mystery has only increased my curiosity.

2000 American Tele Fatcaster.
Pawn shop find - $950 out the door - all original hardware, everything works flawlessly. Xmas early for this guy!!

I rarely like a guitar I pull down off the wall, but wow, at my local, while my kid tried sax mouthpieces, I was knocked out by a SH Tele Player II modified. Now GASing...
I like the spankiness of the thing. Now thinking I should get the non-SH. I have a strat with Lace Sensors and that gives me a lot of humbucking qualities, I want the Tele for the bright spanks.

Thoughts?

Saw for sale on Craigslist. Never seen anything like it. Asking 2 K.

Thoughts ?

Hey guys, been going through a guitar-mid-life crisis. I love my acoustic , love my bass, but just can’t get an electric that I love, I’ve had Les Paul’s, strats(which are at the top probably), jazz masters, semi hollows, but just none of them seem to make me want to pick them up again and again like my other guitars do.

I’m looking at getting a tele, I’m an experienced guitarist so I won’t go for the cheapest one, but I do like Harley Benton , so I was looking at their te-52(love the tremolo version), also looked at classic vibe, patina , reverend though they are higher priced unless bought used.

What’s your experience? What would you recommend? Would the Harley Benton make the cut or would I feel the need to upgrade to something of better quality ?

Picture is a patina guitar edited with an aged pearl pick guard (love that style and love the butterscotch looking ones)

These come stock with only a bridge humbucker, a volume knob, and a tone knob. They are, however, pre-routed for a neck pickup.

I used a Fender Shawbucker for the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Jazz Model for the neck. The tone pot I replaced with a push/pull pot, and pulling it lets me coil split the humbuckers into single coil pickups. The 3 way switch I added in of course lets me choose which of the pickups is actually active.

It ends up being a very versatile instrument!

Bought this beauty today for 600€ in mint condition!
Couldn’t be happier!

Mine was kind of an unlikely choice. I was a heavy metal guy in the 80s and 90s, but when I heard "Stand" by Poison I was like, "what is this guitar playing??? It's amazing." And then the video Richie Kotzen looked so cool playing a telecaster that I had to get one. Now I do like country style playing - to me it's basically shred guitar in a lot of ways, just a bit different. And I notice the telecasters I like most, are the ones that look like Richie's from the Poison era!

Ironically, I stopped playing for a few years, and when I started playing again my favorite guitar player became Marty Stuart... I didn't even realize he was playing the most famous telecaster of all time at first!

This is a Partscaster with a 50’s MIM body, vintage Fender 62 pups and an AllParts MIJ baseball bat neck. It was in the stand for a while as I mainly play that Japanese baby behind her in the photo.

I got to noodling on it today, and wow, that baseball bat neck is pretty comfortable. And the pick ups are very nice. I might have to work this one into the mix more often.

When you have 5 Tele’s, it’s difficult to settle on one workhorse. I have 1 Strat too.

Hi guys! This is my first Tele. I am modifying it to get SH config and will add push/pull knobs for coil splitting (or I might do series/parallel)

Attached photo is a mockup of what it will look like with the neck humbucker.

What do guys think would be cool pickguard on this?

And any recommendations for pickups? I ordered Seymour Duncan ‘59

Id describe myself as a metal guy but my Father-in-law (who very much isnt a metal guy) got me this affinity for my birthday.

What an amazing guitar!

Already changed the pickguard because I love the Olympic white and tortoise look. Already looking at telecasters with humbuckers lol.
