The Tele(phone) Is Ringing! Happy 75th Birthday Old Friend

I have tided myself over with a 50s Vintera II in Sonic Blue, SO, while I contemplate wallet
homocide for something else. :stirthepot:knit:grin


It came last week and I am pretty smitten with it. It has the early 50s U shaped neck and that
Maple Neck and Fretboard---which right now is where my ears are at. I need all the SNAP!I can get.
:LOL:

That’s one of the best things Fender makes for the money. I prefer it to the Am pro 2. Pickups for teles is an interesting one because one of my favourites is the Abby nocaster that is about 9k but also the antiquity Duncan at only 6.5k they both have great depth. The BK boot camps are insanely good at no money but they don’t look stock .
I still need pickups for my black guard. I actually have a 55 bridge pickup that needs rewinding but it has raised DG poles so I may not use it on my 52 build . I should send it to Tim at BK to rewind it for me because even a rewind is about £3k these days.
decisions.🤣
 
Playing my LP a lot again the past few days reminds me of two things about Teles

  1. I always wish I could do the thing I love on the LP in the middle position where I bump the neck volume down a notch. I miss that sound a lot when I play a Tele
  2. I think there’s a strong chance a ‘70s Deluxe might be the perfect guitar for me and I really need to try one someday
