It's a Swineshead pickup that I had made some time a go, it's got Richardson engraved on it.

I agree with Elliot- can't beat a Tele for rhythm.

I tend to agree, but i do find myself switching between my tele and my Yam SG200, which is pretty much an LPjunior - set neck, all mahogany.

All mahogany, set neck constriction, short scale length and Mules.  Pure frigging awesomeness.

Between the two of them, I think that they do everything I need.
BKPs Past and Present - Nailbombs, Mules, Blackguard Flat 50's, VHII's & Trilogy Suite with Neck & Bridge Baseplates!

^ what he said, once you get 'tuned' into the Tele's capabilities you realise just how versatile they are.  with a P90 at the neck, mine is the one guitar I can do everything with.

those Fender Teles with the big Strat headstock and twin P90s are GREAT, I played one before xmas and its a very versatile guitar (would prefer a rosewood board though, don't like pale maple board, yuk!).  If they stained that board a vintage-yellow colour it would be perfect.

If you did get one you'd probably be able to find a vintage tint neck on evilBay, swap 'em and sell the pale one. That's what I did with my Strat and actually turned a profit on the necks! It's a bit of a faff but eminently doable.

Aye tink Steve Albini or one of his minions said that mid 1970's Tele Customs and Deluxes are his first choice for rhythm tracks.

Your mileage may vary.

Absolutely agree on the tele being the ultimate rhythm guitar. I don't want to play anything else at the moment and have long term plans to get lots of different variations of the tele. Could get expensive (when I have money!)
I think I hate being indecisive.
