LOL, Mr Miami, you have keen eyes! That is an original (speaking in a whisper since this is a Strat forum) 1976 solid Ash Butterscotch Telecaster. I picked it up from a guy in Vermont who was is in his 70s and had it since new. He wanted a Tele with a belly cut so I traded a DX Tele that was custom wired. This guitar is heavy as a Les Paul and definitely CBS era production.

Heavier Northern ash probably. I'll bet it has great sustain. :D Reminds me of my '73 Strat made of Northern ash that sustained for days on end! :D

WOW...I'd call that New & Noteworthy...Nice would be...faint praise...Spectacular...non-identical Twins...WOW

We discussed those pup rings one time...good job on your first (?) rear mounts...

...the bodies are Magnificent...ly Matching Beauties...

The Deluxe Neck on the Red is beautiful...so is the Ultra Bridge...

...although I prefer the Bent Saddles on the Honey (?).

I'm not going to hazard a guess on the Electronics...they seem the same visually...pups HSDually...controls VTT...2 mini Coil Kill (?) switches...

...shame you ran out of cash before you got the Knobs for the Red...probably due to buying the LV Collection. :lol:

It seems I never have much to say. Maybe because the scope of my knowledge is limited to those guitars I own. But I read a lot and it seems I learn something new all the time.
I, for one, and quite interested in the story of those last two...
