Hey friends. So I got a nice little 14 mega-pixel digi camera for christmas, and the Tele's just had a bath and a new set of super slinkies, so I figured I'd post a few pics.

Thanks for the comments guys! I too am rather fond of the stripes. I was work at an auto parts store and one pack of those stripes came in, and I was at the register with them before they even hit the shelf :lol: I never saw any more, but I'm sure they're out there somewhere.
Next up for the Tele is a vintage pearl pickguard :mrgreen:

Flamejob!

That looks bosstastic. Eventually, I need a Nashville. I have a regular Tele, one with a neck humbucker, and one with a neck mini-humbucker.

Does the switching allow for neck+bridge, or only the typical Strat 5-way selections?

Very nice pics, only thing to comment that you got a helluva lot of string winds on those tuner posts. Do you like/need that much downward $@!&# after the nut?

@Brian - The 5-way switch allows the same combos as a strat switch. I would like the neck/bridge combo, but I really have plenty of options tone-wise with this guitar, and no complaints whatsoever.

@FenderMan - I always wind extra on the G and D strings to increase the break angle over the nut. The open strings tend to ring a little more clear that way. and I usually wrap 2 or 3 times on the rest of the strings.
