Well as i'm sure you've seen there's one of these in the Strat section, so I thought i'd start one off here too.

So let your creative juices flow and tell us what you would have if Fender came to you and asked to do a signature model. It doesn't have to be crazy, it could just be a standard with a polka dot finish...

I want one exactally like Sly's from Sly and the Family Stone on the Midnight Special show that he did back in 73. Looks like a Blonde with rosewood figerboard and a custom log and pinstripping job. I think the logo says Super Sly too, not sure. It would be super cool anyway!

basically a blacktop with uncovered, coil tapped pickups with a clasic tele steel plate around the bridge pup, obviously suited for a humbucker. roadworn maple neck with no gloss, black barrel tone and vol knobs and rusting hardware. candy apple red (though not as shiny) with black duct tape for competition stripes. black pickguard

....possibly hollow body :idea:

Well I love the teles I've got you couldn't really improve on them. But there are so many more that I would like to get that if I could only ever get one more tele for the rest of my life it would probably be this Custom Shop NOS Nocaster, and I like the idea that it comes with two cases, a tweed and a modern case.

The Tele I listed above is basically the one I had made back in '07.

By the way, your photo shows you playing a Tele. I can't tell very well, but is that a Muddy Waters Tele?

I used to own one and think they are great.

im not too knowledgable about pickups and wood (so thats pretty much all a guitar then :lol: ), but mine would be thinline, highly figured 1 piece maple set neck, probably birdseye. im really digging daphne blue at the moment (those 50's strats keep tempting me), so maybe daphne blue with black binding, a widerange humbucker at the bridge, tele neck pickup, the chrome type std one, bigsby bridge, vintage tuners like on my 62 custom tele, abalone block inlays. vintage tint to the maple neck. black/daphne blue/black scratchplate, tele thinline shaped. chrome dome control knobs, and if possible some body contouring. and if im paying custom shop money, it had better be possible :lol: :lol:

edit - in fact, here it is, with the closest colour match i could find, i went for a heavy stain rather than full block cover

Hi Paris, no it's a MIM Clasic Series 60s Telecaster in candy appel red and a truly fantastic guitar, the build quality on this is so good.
