    Cool. I've been looking for steel saddle for mine too. Too cheap to buy a whole set.

    I like that one a LOT. I'm contemplating a pine body to replace the Baja's chunk o' beef.

    You've done it again. That one next to your Tweed Tele would be a cover for any Guitar Magazine. Fantastic.

    Thanks, I'll do that. I've been off-and-on thinking about an ebony guard for my very wooden Strat clone.

    Nice Tele, BTW.

    Oh, man. I drooled over anoutdoor shot of that Butterscotch one a few years back.

    Is the gold (?) one with the Phat Cat fairly recent?
    That's especially sweet.

    So what's the deal?
    Do you have sensitive forearms or something?

    Nah, he's just tired of Strat guys struttin' around like they own the place, all because they don't have that permanent bruise right below their top rib.

    I just like the comfort of the contours. Once you play it for awhile, You get spoiled.

    That's a hidden Strat pickup in the neck spot, right?
    I thought was an Esquire at first.
    Very cool.

    Nope, That was a Harmonic Designs Vintage Plus in the neck and an S-90 in the bridge

    Way to rock! My Z-caster is finished in Danish oil and beeswax. I'm sure you already know how a finish like that ages....

    Man, I bet it smells pretty good too.


    Crap.
    I found a pristine Parchment Esquire pickguard in a pile of junk on my work table last week.
    After reading this thread, I'm wondering if it's some kind of sign that I should build another Tele this year.

    I love that stuff. It's what I finished my strat body with, after staining.
