And another NTD!
« on: August 22, 2009, 12:35:54 PM »
Yes it's another new tele day for me (So Roo....stay away, you have been warned!), I got this is a PX with the Hiwatt...B E A utiful is the only way to describe the feel of this. Spec as follows:

FENDER TELECASTER:

Fender Japan '62 RI Tele neck
Allparts USA Olympic White body
Bareknuckle Aged '50's Blackguard' pickups....super relic work by Tim @ BK I have to say and they sound fantastic as well.
Kluson/ Fender split post tuners
60's Pre-CBS Neckplate, might be a repro job though, can't really tell so don't buy it just for that alone, it was like that when I got it!!
Cloth wire, Oak 3-way switch, Luxe Cornell-Dubilier Capacitor replica 0.047uF cap, CTS 250K pots
KTS Ti saddles (3 saddle with notches)
Full VERY heavy relic finish to neck, body and hardware

I like the look of that! I actually like the look of a cigarette burn on the headstock. Really nice fretboard too!

The relicing looks good, did you have it professionally done?

Allow me to pass on some information regarding this one. The relicing work was done by a good friend of mine, "Hugh", or "Shugz" from most of the forums. He recently offered this and its sister Strat and it was a very hard decision to say "no" to this one, believe me.

Knowing Hugh's choice of components, you have got an absolutely top notch Guitar. To my mind, this has the best Tele Pickups that are around....bar none! I had one of the earliest sets Tim ever did and that guitar still stuns people on a regular basis.

Enjoy this beauty. I am still struggling with whether to buy the matching Strat. :D

It's "just" like it!..... That is someway is the trouble. :D This damn Strat talks to me everytime I see its picture. The Tele was bad enough, but the Strat.... Oh Hell, I fear I have to start selling things again. LOL
