1968 Fender Telecaster

At the risk of bunging up the forum with stoopid guitar nonsense. Anyone fancy a really gorgeous, very collectible, original 68 tele?

What a beauty! I wish my playing was good enough to merit it

[scalino65]

Thanks chap. Plays as good as it looks
Well...I have a 63 custom shop re-issue one as well for sale, white blonde and rosewood neck, another beauty. 1600quid-ish...



or..if you want to go the full rocknroll...a 76 les paul custom with a bigsby -1950 ish:


All lovely but I just have far too many of these things...plus I just bought a 57 TV junior so I need to thin out the collection a bit!
cheers

An influence, Will? Old Black:

[scalino65]

hi Steve, yup, youve got it nailed! Many people have mentioned the similarities:) I love Old Black, its great how the pickguard looks like its reflecting the light whereas its actually just beaten to feck.

I think he has an aluminium scratch plate. That guitar has been customised to f*ck. It was a goldtop originally, painted black, then he put a firebird mini humbucker in the bridge position (to get more feedback). Don't get me started on his amp and the "whizzer". Not that I'm Neil Young stalker or anything....

That Tele is gorgeous, btw ! Bit out of my league though.

THanks Ian, hope youre keeping well. Are you sure, I cant tempt you with anything from my shrinking collection?:)

[MonkeyChap]

Haha ! All's well here. I could do to shrink my own guitar collection. There's a strat-shaped hole in it, but I've never found one I like.
