Twinfan has gone custom! (Completed guitar - pics added!)

[Ian Price]

Nice stuff Dave - that's a nice looking thinline you based yours on. Did you have a spare relic case lying around waiting?

[Twinfan]

Ha ha!  As if!

That's one of my McCarty Rosewood cases.  It's been used, shall we say!

[dave_mc]

Cheers Dave.  It's got that bridge as it's correct for a '72 Thinline Tele and that's what Warmoth drilled the body for  ;)

Thanks for the kind words folks - I'm off to play it again.......

ah, ok, yeah that makes sense, thanks. :lol: i'm not too well up on vintage specs, haha :D

Do you know what would be good? well same guitar with P90 type- so get to it my good man.

[Twinfan]

I've tried P90s, but I just can't get on with them.  Too fat in the bass for my playing style, I just accentuate their character  :(  The TV Classics are similar in that they're clear and zingy, but they don't have the flubby bass  :)

The guitar doesn't sound that humbucker-y, I'm getting some really good SRV tones out of it  :o

[WezV]

dammit dave, i really like my tv jones filtertrons for what they do.  i am planning a parts guitar like a decent version of a squier 51 with a original tele wide range in the neck and i already ordered a blackguard 50 for the bridge but you just made me think i should order one of those tv jones tele bridges to use the pickup i already have.... if i do that i need to build something for the blaggard too

[gwEm]

if i do that i need to build something for the blaggard too

build a trans-yellow swamp ash jazzmaster, white pickguard, with the blackguard horizontally like a jaguar...

Go and polish your tiny tele headstock, that should finish it off :)

[WezV]

so which one of you is paying for it!!

[Madiac]

Where do you get those kind of stickers, like Testicaster etc? Are there any companys that make custom stickers etc?

Will do, I'll race you whilst you polish all the penile extrusions from your guitar. I think I'll win this race.

Nice going of tele's but that is pretty
