Nice Tele!
Nice Dang Twang Thang!
It's a tele. How could you go wrong?
Several guitars in different colors
Things to make them fuzzy
Things to make them louder
orange picks
Be still my beating heart.
I have decided to be happy because it's good for my health.
I can here the TWANG all the way over here! Nothing like a good Tele!
That is a beautiful thang.
Thanks Folks! And to think... I was planning on putting a PAF of some sort in the neck position... PFFFFFFT! No Need with this guy! Maybe I'll Build me one o' those in the future.

Get an MIM Standard body for that, they come routed for 'buckers in the neck.
Speaking of toys, I hope you don't treat this like one...that's some serious Tele!

Thanks for the heads up on the MIM NT, I've got to look into that, I've always wanted to "Build my own" but always flake out, and after these price increases... I can prolly Build something and include a period correct G&G case for half of what these new prices are. Anyways, this thing is a Tone Beast, Exactly what I was expecting and exactly what I wanted! I am a pig in S**t right now haha.
RIP Lacey Cat 1992-2009
Ohhhhhhhhh!
I want one!
Enjoy that beautiful guitar!
...and on the 8th day, God created the Super Reverb and there was ROCK, and it was GOOD!
she sure is pretty! and it's actually butterscotch yellow, not that crappy orange fender usually tries to pass off as.
"don't worry, i'm a professional!"
Awesome looks.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the difference between this and the American Vintage 52 thin skin? What makes this a FSR?
Indeed you can. I recently did just that...

SuhweeeT!
I've always wanted a butterscotch Tele.

Nice build! I always wondered what a Phat Cat or P94 would sound like in the neck position...
As far as the parts/build thing goes, it can be done on the cheap.
Between my '56 Tokai, JV Strat and EJ Strat I have around $333 tied up in my #1 Strat w/G&G case courtesy of the EJ.
Parting out the EJ and JV were really cost effective. The sale of the EJ neck, body, PG and trem arm almost covered the total cost of the EJ. I've got about $120 dollars in the case, pups, staggered tuners, steel string block bridge and vintage bridge.
The body, pups, bridge, tuners, trem arm and PG sales put me in a JV neck for a measley $13.
The sale of the Tokai neck w/tuners, VI pups w/harness, Tokai stamped bridge and saddles and steel trem block put me in a lightweight, nicely checking, vintage two piece Alder CAR body for $200.
Granted, I had some money tied up along the way, but the end result is everything I want or need in a Strat for less than $350.
Not the best pic, but it the best I have right now!
Congrats on the new Tele! I have a 52 Thin Skin and it gets more play than any of my other guitars. It's my ony Tele. I don't see getting another one, because I can't see liking another one as much.
Stupid question: What does FSR stand for?
i bet this really annoy's you if your a grammar freak.
Thank you. Makes sense now. I got mine from Dave's.
Hey that looks like mine.. I picked mine up at Music Machine. Serial Number 4268
Got mine from them as well via "The Bay"! Serial 3089. Nice photo Madmark!

you guys are killing me...seriously...I'm having a bit of sub-sternal pain and tingling in my jaw....
I think it's G.A.S.

Thanks I paid 1250 for it.. I could not pass it up.. 7.7 lbs.. Came with some nice checking already.. Thanks to the cold upstate NY weather..
I paid the same for mine. Cheers! We got some killer lookin' guit's! One of my buddies came over today to work on a few songs and was stunned by the guitar, he doesn't like his 52 so much because of the orangy look his has, either way I think they are both kewl.

did you keep the original wiring or did you change it to modern style?. I left mine original for now. you can find it between switches.. I agree I like this color better then the standard 52 reissues..
Mine came stock with modern wiring, which was cool because It saved me the trouble of switching it over, these pickups scream when they need to and sparkle when they have to. I am one happy camper!
RIP Lacey Cat 1992-2009
Pretty, pretty axe.
You are lucky.. Part me wants to change and a part of me says dont start messing it.. I did put some glendale saddles on it.. I think for now I will leave it old school..
