New tele deluxe day
« on: September 26, 2009, 10:17:22 AM »
Yay! Thanks to Nolly, who is a super nice guy, I got myself a gorgeous new play thing. Picture time!






All photos courtesy of Nolly himself. The eagle eyed among you might notice a few upgrades. Namely the black battle scarred overwound Mississippi Queen pickups, locking  tuners and fancy bridge and knobs. Just needs an earvana nut installed and it's good to go.

Not sure how the 10k MQs sound just yet, only managed to play through my line 6 thing last night, and it kinda makes everything sound the same. I'll A/B them with the standard queens in my les paul, and yes I'll attempt clips.

I'm chuffed.

Mighty cool!   White/maple Teles are becoming your signature models!  :D

I have to profess ignorance here.... is that MIM, MIJ or what?

Ok ladies dry out your panties, she's MINE.

Philly it's a MIM RI, in the limited arctic white finish (i think it's arctic white anyway). Don't think they're being made in this finish any more, so I'm glad i snapped one up when i could. Good luck finding one Tom, the neck is very flat, Fender says it's a 12'' radius, Nolly thinks it's flatter.

Slight issues right now is the nut, which I have an Earvana replacement for but not confident installing myself, and I think the bridge/strings need grounded. Guessing it's an easy thing to miss on this type of guitar, need to bodge a wire to the bridge i thinks. But I is happy.
