darling67 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Nice family portrait, Rev! Here's my only-child orphan Tele… I replaced the black pick guard with a brushed metal pick guard, and covered the ugly-looking "zebra" pickup with a chrome cover.

NHTom Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 , and covered the ugly-looking "zebra" pickup with a chrome cover. NICE..........I'd do the exact same thing.........I think they could have pulled off an open pickup with matching bobbins, but the zebra looks like it was an afterthought. I'd do what you did and do a chrome cover. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the best looking thing ever, honestly kinda fights me a little bit in the "feel" department compared to the SG, but it sounds so good, and it can take a beating without showing a scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Love pearl guards !!!... You are clearly not the only one, Tom; Nine of the Tele/Esquires posted so far have pearl 'guards! I wonder what it is about the Tele style which draws folks towards putting one on? Mine is a BlackGuard so it wouldn't work for me but it certainly works well for those guitars posted. I know we do see some pearl 'guards on Strats (and suchlike) but not (I believe) to the same extent as seen here............ Mine is a BlackGuard so it wouldn't work for me but it certainly works well for those guitars posted. Nice instruments, everybody!!! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I love Teles - one day when I grow up I might trade my old guitars in on a Tele and just have that and my Aria. Best one I ever played was a 1959 Custom Sunburst - just superb and with a price tag to match.The one I should have bought was a butterscotch blackguard heavy relic early custom shop (with the stamp) by John Cruz - light as a feather. Basswood? chambered? ...amazing and at a great price. I'm an idiot... I also love them in matt black with a black guard. These are all great - I must admit really like the look of NH Tom's red one - an ESP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHTom Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 These are all great - I must admit really like the look of NH Tom's red one - an ESP? YES, it is an ESP Ronnie Wood signature model. Built like a tank.......HEAVY, FAT necked beast. I honestly was not looking for an ESP, but saw it at my local shop, LOVED the look of it, and then when I picked it up, it played great and feels really well built. At that point, I had to have it.

RevDavidLee Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 I must be getting dementia or something I was just looking at my group Tele photo and I thought "where is my 72 Thinline"? Doh! I ran into the studio a few minutes ago and there it was right where I left it behind a stack of Fender tweed amps Here she is - Number 8 Good Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
