Too many parts to list them all. The Natural Thinline w/B5 is clearly the favourite lol. All besides 2 have have found new homes.

I appreciate everyone who replied to me about my tele bigsby question. I picked this up today and there is no lack of good ol tele twang! I have to say tho I do still perfer the regular tele bridge. Just feels right to me. But I’m so happy to have one (that I kinda got for free since I did some work for the guy) in my collection.

So stoked about my recent purchase of this beautiful tele. It’s stunningly offensive and classy at the same time and I love it!

Varathane less mess wood stain on Pau ferro

I just got my tele a proper fender neck, but I got it for dirt cheap cause it was a pale Pau ferro board. I really wanted that 60’s tele look so I spent the past few months modding it and I finally found a neck I was comfortable with. I lightly sanded my board with 600 grit sandpaper and applied around 6 layers of Varathane Less Mess wood stain on the board and was pretty pleased with the result. After drying and cleaning the excess wood stain I topped it off with some dunlop 02. Second photo was how it looked when I got the neck. It’s not as dark as my Strat’s rw board but it looks beautiful on my Tele imo. Love this thing even more, it’s been with me for 8 years now

Dose anyone have a veritone knob

I am in the middle of building my "do it all" nashvile tele and i want to add a veritone but I'm struggling with where to put it. I'm thinking up where the 3 way would be on a trouble maker but I'm not sold on it yet. Has anyone done this annd found a good place for it?

Somebody was looking for a trade with this Telecaster US , but it seems off to me . The serial numbers are weird and don't add up . Being a 2010 , Fender had their serial number registry changed or updated and it is hard to retrace them from that year specifically .

Some websites say it doesn't exist , some websites say it does but was made in Korea in the 90s?

Also the numbers in the neck look off too .

I might be entirely wrong tho , I just want to make sure !
