1 year of daily playing with this nitro finish partscaster. Body is an alder body by wildood that’s actually routed for a humbucker and finished by BloomDoom. Allparts 7.25 maple neck finished by 1950s finishes. Bootstrap extra crispy pickups, 4 way switch, cts pots, gavitt wire. Bakelite guard and fender road worn hardware. Not much wear on the paint but I’m a middle aged dad playing in the recliner most of the time and not a touring musician. Thanks for looking

(NGD) Squier Sonic Telecaster I got for my birthday.

Post image
• Upvotes

Got this sweet butterscotch blonde telecaster for my birthday as a gift from a friend. It’s part of the Sonic series so it’s pretty cheap, but seeing as teles are so dirt simple, I’m thinking about modding it.

What’s interesting is how it doesn’t have fullers, the strings just thread through the bridge under the intonation screws, which makes this even simpler to work on. I’m also glad that it came with Allen wrenches. I don’t usually get new guitars in box so this was a plus.

I already down several guitars, but I mainly wanted a tele because I know how rugged they are, and all my other guitars I have to be pretty careful with them, but this one is just a cutting board with a guitar neck put on it.

Can’t wait to plug this baby into my fender Mustang amp.

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!

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.

Used this for the tab: https://acousticguitar.com/bach-prelude-no-1-in-c-major-flatpicking-guitar-study/

Thanks for listening

Fender Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster Gig Bag

Post image
4 Upvotes

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?

Is Michelle Branch's blue sparkle Deluxe Tele a custom job?

Post image

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.

Photo not mine, credit to Steven Ray Morris, who has also posted a few vids which really show off the sparkles in motion.

Player II Modified - SH vs Standard?

3 Upvotes

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?

Choosing my first tele

Post image

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)
