Oh, you boys!  :lol:

What's the top one, Steve?  I assume not a Fender, judging by the bridge and the shape of the neck.

Going by the website I found it on, it's a Fender US Tele that's been refinished and modded.

he mainly builds stuff from reclaimed wood such as old barns.  i think its great because i am still not sure how he manages to get it into a guitar without loosing the 'old barn' character

I am with you on that. The scratchplate is a bit too "country" for me (and I like old-time country) but I am gassing hard on the rest of that guitar.

I had long decided that the '69 Esquire I will build will have a Bigsby, but now I am wishing I didn't have some other projects to attend to first.

No.   They don't look any weirder than any other guitar does if you stare at it long enough.

I don't expect everyone to agree....

Nah, I love Tele neck pickups.  And the in-between position is such a pretty sound.

I am tempted to make my Warmoth build an Esquire, though.

Me too - the Blackguard Flat 50 neck is sublime - and the serial/parallel tones are amazing.

... and as for the bridge...

Well.  Pure tone.

I love telecasters.  I really, really do.

They might not be as expensive as you think. The Squier was £60 and the Peavey was £30.                                                              (http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii98/marantz1300/100_0865.jpg)

I have a car and been in the mood for a roadtrip. The London area seems nice this time of year.

And I think I want another tele, until i realise my holydiver equipped bar-steward is possibly the best guitar i've ever owned. Anyone tried the cheap BSB tele that squier make?
Title: Re: Roo!
Post by: Sollophonic on April 24, 2009, 10:36:16 PM
Copperhead,

Thanks for the appreciation, though I have to say the punched metal guard was my last resort with that generic Antique Burst. I tried everyting, the red torty it came with, a white pearl, a black 3 ply. I just dont like the body colour myself, but have tried all kinds of changes to offset it. Which is a shame because it plays so  well for a really cheaply acquired guitar.

I am seriously thinking of sanding the body down and repainting with something tastier. You have now made me doubt this course of action.

I have to say the only thing that I thionk goes with the antique burst on the Squier Standard Tele is a metallic guard. Which is a shame because the Squier Standard teles (in whatever colour are a seriously good value for money budget tele) and in antique burst they are cheap as chips for a non-chinese Squier.

Maybe I'll live with it a bit more

Title: Re: Roo!
Post by: Sollophonic on April 24, 2009, 10:46:15 PM
While on the subject of BSB Squiers, just to add to the thread, heres what I did to my BSB 1998 Squire. I suppose you could call it an "Esquier"

Hot pickup, wiring to give tone+vol/vol only/straight to jack. (from Ole Fuzzys site;- Google it!!) Oh and homemade blackguard as well.

Although I do like the idea of a Strat with a Tele bridge pickup - I guess a baseplate might achieve something similar.

its one for myself this.  i wanted a quick project so picked up an allparts neck for it and knocked out this body in a spare hour this afternoon.  i am going to rework the scrathplatde design a bit too - make the lower horn more strat like.  it was going to be more like a squier 51 clone but i changed my mind earlier

Earlier comment came out wrong - I don't dislike it, hybrid Strat/Teles are cool.  :)

It reminds me a bit of the old Robin designs (and the Squier '51, which you mentioned):

I do like the '51 Precision style scratchplate and control plate... on the other hand, it's neat to have the Tele control plate to mount the switch on!

well i have both a 51 and a tele chrome plate - but only a tele pickguard which is why i leaned that way.  although i will most likely be redesigning the pickguard anyway to fit the body better so i suppose that makes no difference now
