Given there seems to be quite a bit of Telecaster love around here

, thought I would post a pic of my two electrics, a 50's classic Esquire and FSR Paisley Telecaster.

Very cool. Teles have a unique sound. That's a good looking pair right there.

Nice. I have a '84 US Tele. Wouldn't part with it for the world.

I'll have to grab a picture of mine. I have an SX alder Tele I stuck a black pickguard on to look like a 52. It's got Bill Lawrence pickups in it and it's a great player. My other one is a Squier thinline with a Fishman power bridge in it. The acoustic sounds aren't great, (very harsh), but there's a certain airy quality from the hollow body and I'm trying to decide what to put in it to turn it back into an ordinary thinline Tele.

Sweet! I like the grain on the sunburst.

Very nice love Tele's too. I had a limited George Harrison rosewood that I modified with Duncan quarter pounders that screamed!...but it was a heavy beast. You have a nice set there; bet they sound awesome. What do you run them thru?

I never knew that Fender did a Goerge Harrison rosewood Tele .

I actually have this magazine with his son holding the rose tele; it's a great pic I bought just for the cover alone!

Fender made a run of these in the early ninties. Mine was beautiful with a sweet tweed case. I sold it because I was goin' to South America and needed the coin. I'll try to find and put up a picture of mine. They had a sheet of maple sandwiched between the the top and back; it was heavy but man it sounded great. It did not have any labeling or signature but was sold as the George Harrison model/reissue after the original one he played. http://www.elderly.com/fmic/items/FCSLRT.htm
He was my favorite Beatle; always searching and his music transcended the pop of the Beatles imho.

Was that a Japan model ?

Loves me some Teles! Have had a bunch of them over the years and now have ended up with two I made from Warmoth parts - Glendale bridge and compensated 3 piece saddles, SD Antiquity II pickups. Total honkage. One has a carved top body (like a Les Paul), and an American Std. Strat trem, two single coil pickups. I call it the *******Caster. With no bridge plate (strat trem) the bridge pickup really screams. I mean REALLY screams. Have it wired with a 5 way switch and a tone/volume bypass. Totally perfect guitar for me.

Sorry - ******** word begins with a "B" and refers to someone born to parents out of wedlock. I'm really trying to work on my inappropriate behavior and language....

I'm a strat guy, but I've been bitted by the Tele bug (Probably because I've been doing less blues since I started playing, and more of.. everything else) and am real tempted to cross over lately. As soon as I can decide on a colour config, I might look into grabbing one. GAS is making it hard to decide on just one
