Ever since I saw your three PU Tele I am gassing.  When these came out done deal.  Traded my old Tele in.  No Bbender tho.

 

 

Fantastic guitar.  Maple necks are the shiz!  Is it great out of the box?  I adjusted pickup height a little on mine to make the neck a little hotter.

Been busy and heading out for dentist but later I will put my strings on and do set up.

Action great out of the box, needs a tweak on intonation.

Noiseless PU are nice, a legit Tele/Strat hybrid.  the bridge/middle setting is carbon copy of glassy strat sound, legit Tele tones too.

 

 

Super nice.  Is that 'Arctic White'?  I do a neck/middle combo most of the time.  When I have an envelope filter on I switch to middle/bridge, and when I want to sound sexy I go just neck.

The more Teles, the Better.

A Workingman's guitar.

Leo Fender's strategy with the Tele was to produce affordable guitars by streamlining the Body production -- no carving or inlay work.

Just a plank shaped w/ machinery.

They call it white blond. 

I really like most of the settings, they are all pleasing.  Bridge alone is a bit harsh but rolling off a bit of treble tames it. 

Have not put it thru one of the tube amps yet nor pedalboard.  

Plug it into a good compression pedal   I use a MXR that I love.

Please name her Eva Braun.

Not sure I will do that in the current climate.

I usually just call it "Tele". 

"Who loves ya, baby"

I can understand that.  Hows abouts just Eva?

Eva Gabor might work.

I like Tele Gabor.

AIQ, hows she playing?  You put a bender in her yet?

These threads always make me miss Albert Collins.

Ice Pick had a humbucker in his Tele

Here's my Tele - it was hand built w Fender Parts, but is not a Fender.

The Bass on the left is a '98 Greg Suhr designed Deluxe American Jazz Bass with active pickups.
The Strat on the right is a late 80's Jimmy Vaughn Signature Strat with Texas Specials.

Well damn you and congrats.

F'king beautiful. 

I’ve been wanting some one of these goldfoil pickups to put in my Strat.  Don’t see myself gutting this guy though.0079CC8B-270C-431B-9C84-1F5EB1CB06F2.jpeg
