this thing is fucking amazing looking. its like the most perfect telecaster ever made. where is my 300 dollar squier RI ?

That looks pretty fucking neat, i've seen a gold one somewhere too. Nice guitars.

it really is pretty awesome. serfx has one, the bastard.

A bit too Gibsony for my tastes, but it is nice.

Actually, I don't know if it is too Gibsony, but I think that something called an elite shouldn'tbe trying to be some other companies guitar.

I like everything except the pickguard shape, it looks out of place to me.

the pickguard shape is great. looks far better than the stock tele pickguard, IMO.

I think the stock guard would look like ass on that too. I love the Tele Deluxe pickguard shape, a b/w/b one would be awesome on it. The one on there just reminds me of Gibsons. I haet when Fenders remind me of Gibsons.

It needs an ebony fretboard, bound neck and no inlays. If it had those things I'd pay sillly money for one.

Those things would look fantastic on it in black.

There's a book called 50 Years of Fender that does a 1950-2000 history of Fender with a featured guitar on every page, and on 1983 there's an emerald green Gold Elite Telecaster, which has maple neck, gold hardware and pearloid tuning pegs. Apparently there was also a walnut body/neck option. It says the trem and switching on the Elite Strat was so crap it kinda plagued the whole Elite line's reputation (there was a p-bass too) so they were pulled after 2 years.

Fender should have squier do something like these,
they would sell like hot cakes and i imagine they would be pretty cheap to manufacture.

fuck that pickguard. put a tele jr guard on it and were bonerin'.

Some dude: Weren't you gonna, like... taper around the end, there?
Neck: Meh... no.

too many nobs faggots

I think all guitars have to have inlays, I like to see where I am on the board.

Block inlays would be teh fuckin sex

I hate it. Stupid ugly bridge too.

It’s not a good Tele unless you can imagine Keith Richards playing one. And I can’t see Keith strapping this ugly fucker on!

they are fantastic guitars. i really need to get mine back.
all the growl of a les paul and all the twang of a tele
you can not go wrong.

man the is some hot shit. if squire made a RI id buy it just for looks
