Thanks! It's a pure tone machine. The Duncan mini humbucker I put in the neck is my favorite pickup and it pairs so well with a nice vintage-style Tele bridge pickup.

I've actually considered putting a Bigsby on it, but I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in the top on the off chance I decided that I liked it better without the Bigsby.

Yep, it's an American Vintage Reissue '62 Tele Custom in Surf Green. I modified it slightly by putting the compensated brass saddles on there and sticking the Duncan mini humbucker in the neck.

Brass saddles and a possible humbucker in the neck are potentials for my new CVC. It would be good to hear the mini humbucker to see whether to consider it. This is a very very nice guitar.

Here's a little video I did of the guitar. From 1:40 on I'm using just the mini humbucker.

Very jealous of your VibroChamp.

Thanks! The Vibro Champ has now been converted into a head and 2x10 cab. It's everything that's perfect about an old Vibro Champ, but pushing a bit more air and with tighter low end. I love that amp!

Here it is in its new clothes:

I like it even better like that. Do Want.

He's actually quite a ridiculous animal, but I still love him.

That makes me want to but a mini humbucker in my tele.

Also, they have a bigsby now that fits a tele and doesn't require drilling any holes! If you're considering a bigsby and aren't sure, it is the way to go. I haven't had an experience with them and would be curious to see how they are.

Do an TheBurbz warmoth. It's a great deal if it's still available.

My Joe Stummer tele!
I finally got it about a week in a half ago. I like it a lot. Sometimes I dislike the worn feel and look to it though.
