Alistair, that's who http://www.abc.net.au/tv/collectors/...s/s3026932.htm
One can never have enough Tele's.
Nice collection, I love the rosewood ones
I am going to keep that video for when looking at a new guitar to assuage the ˙ou have too many" internal argument
And dont mind a good looking Tele
Wow, how many does have have? Telecaster heaven
Cool, here's mine, 80's MIJ Fender (Lefty. Same as my avatar):

Oh sweet. Were posting Tele pics now.
Here's my no.1. And some shots of other Tele's in the wild.
Only own the one so far.
Is that a Jim root model. Looks killer.
Careful guys - you know Adam's nickname - well earned nickname...
Dan it is and plays awesome ( the guitar not me)Quote:

We're posting Tele collections now? Let me get my camera.
But seriously, that is some collection of Teles. Wonder what he does to be able to afford to buy them all.

WARNING: graphic surgical procedures
My first electric was a Tele. After decades and dozens of other makes, models I'm back to Tele.
This is my rather modified Affinity Squier that my "real" Tele owning friends hate me for. $150 for the guitar and about $330 for the upgrades and it'll hang tough with any American Tele that costs 3-4x's as much.
Seymour Duncan Antiquity "57" in the neck and a Seymour Duncan hot rail in the bridge.
Top hat switch tip off a 50's Tele.
Switch plate from a destroyed '52 Tele.
Heavy knurled tone/vol knobs.
Pots and wiring all higher end Fender.
The bridge and saddles are from Guitar Fetish.
The body is 2 piece Alder.
Attachment 1756
Amen to that!!Quote:

Back on the subject of Alistair, Before I retired last year one of his mates worked for me which is how I got to hear about the ABC show.
Apparently the vast majority of them are not special issues or vintage and are kept in a climate controlled environment
Hey Rob, what year is that Tele? Squire released some awesome Tele's in the 80's, this looks like the color/model we affectionately called the 'chicken soup' Telecaster.Quote:

I don't remember the exact year but it was late 80's if I remember right. I got it as a quick replacement and only played it for maybe a month before I got a "better" guitar. In the case it went and sat for years under the bed.
About 7-8 years ago I got it out and rebuilt it into what it is today.
That's a crap ton of Teles for sure!Quote:

As much as I like guitars especially Teles I look at all those and wonder how much difference there is between most of them.
Well I guess there is a burst, a BSB, a black, a red etc from each year ( you get the idea ) then you throw in the Cabs and Esquires from the same years in all of the colours would add up pretty quick and drain the bank account at an alarming rate.Quote:

Yeah I'm quite familiar with Scott Groves for sure.Quote:

He really does have some good things to say it's just there's a line between confident and arrogant and he lives of the side of arrogance.
I just love the rugged ultra grainy definition of this Tele body.
Just wish I owned a really decent sandblasting oufit . . . . .
wow nice one Max, that does look amazing, knots and all
