TWANG Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 sunburst tele tortoise guard tortoise control plate chrome dome knobs with tortoise insert. friends idea.. I think it looks pretty cool. TWANG
Gashole Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Very cool...imagine that one with a rosewood neck!
stabarah Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 good call, GAShole. im also a fan of rosewood over maple (at least i think its maple), but i dont mind the light colour woods.
TWANG Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 I gotta say I like the maple just fine. TWANG
pohatu771 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I'm quite a fan of tortoise on sunburst - my Strat has it. I think gold hardware would be a great addition, also... which my Strat also has. Great, now I want a Tele to match my Strat.
TWANG Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 I think you may have something on the gold.. that might really enhance everything. tWANG
Randy1281734003 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Looks really good Twang, did you build it ?

Mine is the Deluxe Players. I went with the maple neck. Great guitar ... but I want to do something to tighten up that trem. It way to "floaty" for me. MIDI
TWANG Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Yep! The control plate was hard.. getting it to fit well into the guard. TWANG

Great guitar ... but I want to do something to tighten up that trem. It way to "floaty" for me. MIDI[/quote']Deluxe Players it is... I chose it over the Highway One. I'm going to block my trem, since I don't use it at all, and do a few other mods if I can ever find the parts. Even TWANG couldn't find them for me... I want to put gold covers on, similar in style to the Telecaster's neck pickup, but I can't find them anywhere other than attached to a set of $200 pickups I don't need. I want to add a bridge cover, and put gold dome knobs on. I got the rosewood fretboard... didn't even think about it when I bought the guitar. I don't feel any difference between the rosewood and maple, though, so it's all cosmetic for me.
TWANG Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 my next two. I hate setting up floyds. *L* tWANG
duane v Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Very sweet!!! I'm hoping to begin my all rosewood GH tele project sometime in July
