New Telecaster for Haze!

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Sat May 30, 2009 4:04 am

Picking it up for 200 with Hardshell Case
heres some pics he sent me

fucking excited, this will be my 3rd telecaster, will join the P-Rails tele [Sadie] and my other MIM Telecaster that is getting new GFS Neovin pickups
will keep this one stock except for a black pickguard possibly, but that might look fuckugly...

damn, no string-thru FTMFL.

other than that, looks good. NEEDS STRING THRU LIKE ST. JIMMY NEEDS NEW JOAKS

EDIT: got pics of headstock? looks fake from back here.

True, but how can you complain about a $200 Fender Telecaster WITH A FUCKING CASE???

If he really wants string through it's an easy mod.

Thinking about repainting anyway aren't you haze?

I don't think i'll do another refinish for a while, although the weather is nice for it

nah, you misunderstood. i'm not complaining, because i'm not paying. i'm just saying, it needs the shit. looks like a squier w/o. i know you're plenty capable of such a task.

no string-thru FTL.

FEDNAR MIM GUIT WIF CASE: FTW

I knew it was Jimmy Page's, but I had no idea Jeff Beck gave it to him. Cool info, thanks.

yep i have to agree here.

it looks like it's the all-black logo, i guess it's a (IIRC) '96/7 MIM tele. not bad, not bad.

good guitars and also great to mod and "customize".

have fun!

Pat.

Nice video, thanks for them!
Also, sorry to derail your thread Haze, nice score on that tele by the way.

Man that is one great steal

I'd get a vintage style bridge if it was mine. Six saddles + tele don't look quite right to me

Sexy black-n-mappel!

I've actually considered getting a new black bod and giving away our darling Esquink body to any of you at the next NAMM hookup in order to head that direction.

You read my mind, I had a tele once where the reason I didn't splurge on a bigsby was because I didn't want to put holes in the top when it had holes in the back that I would have to fill to make it look right.
