Especially for Roo.... (T*le content)

I do like the finish on sunburst. Other than that, I'm with Roo all the way.

I likes the look of the black one a bit Philly boy!  It looks especially sleek for a Tele, almost like a jet (in the loosest of terms, of course)! The maple neck looks great on it.  I can't get over the tele headstocks though, and the pickguard is a bit of a problem as Roo says.  But i love the Abalone tops on the knobs with a black finish underneath.

Nice one (or two)(or three) Philly :)

My favourite's the sunburst.
(Never been too fond of the look of the scratchplate, f-hole, etc on that thinline, but I certainly wouldn't kick it out of the house :D)

I like how I'm now the official spokesperson against Telecasters.

To quote Faith No More, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it.

Philly I like the family.

I always thought bound Teles where the business, but a bound tele with a Mini HB is the real business.

You're so right, it IS the business.

It's just a shame that "the business" is a more salubrious one!!

Hmmm, I dont't really want to get into your non more pointy fetish, and that messrs Freud & Jung dropped me EMails to ask what your home address was ;)

Cheers Rob!  :)

The bound body theme happened totally by accident really - I went looking for Tele bodies on eBay and both times the American Deluxe ones happened to be the ones I liked the look of.  It was only once I actually had them that I realised all my Teles are bound.  :roll:

The black one is my favourite so far - it's lighter and, I think, a bit more resonant.  But they need to settle a bit them I'll set them up better - they've been lying around in bits for so long I don't think they realise they're guitars yet!

Sore fingers today - it's been a while since I played a 25.5" scale guitar!

They're all so pretty, I can't even choose which one I want you to give me.
My tele GAS is rising again...

I'm not into overly pointy guitars, by the way :)  I just think tele should go with tubby and not with guitar...

That's OK then, I'm reasonably tubby.

If you decide to sell the black one at any point, let me know! :D:

It's goin' nowhere, Sam!   I'm sure there'll be some pickup swapping (and maybe even neck swapping) at some point in the future, but in my experience lightweight solidbody Teles are quite hard to find, so I'm keeping this one. :)

Not sure if you addressed this in the opening post or not, but where did you get the bodies from? Did you take them from 2 stock teles or buy them individually?
