How about one like this deej?

Brian Baker plays one of those live quite a bit

Wow, that's beautiful.

It would crush the resale value, but I'd prefer it even more with the tone and volume knobs hard-dimed and non-existent.  I never twist those things anyway.

You need a volume knob with a P90. They clean up really nicely with it down a bit.

I don't.

The aforementioned strap. Been on my shoulder every time I've played for a few decades.

I’ve shown this before, but since we are extolling the virtue of P90’s…

I'm sure that guy thinks he upgraayyyydddeeed it.  But he basically tanked the value.  Seems like a deal for someone who's looking for players grade.  Cause you'll never get collectible value out of it.

I agree with jj btw. No knobs. If I wanted to clean up we’d play horse. That guitar is pure sex.

Now I want to build a parts Tele with a single P90, no knobs, no switch.

Somebody dare me.

what kind of bridge is our tele going to have

Hardtail, natch.

Why no volume knob. That seems essential to me.

Not the way I "play".  Honestly I'd just like to see what the cleanest possible build would look (and sound) like.  Of course, I'd be committed for life, nobody would buy it.

I'd fancy mine up a little with a volume knob and a wrap around bridge.

That’s a bit over the top don’t you think?

Who let Liberace in here?

Personally I like having both Volume and Tone. They come in handy. Especially tone.

I don’t think I’ve ever turned a tone knob on a guitar on purpose.

You should. There are a lot of good tones down there and its a good way to be less loud without being less loud. There's a reason people a so esoteric on tone caps, and tone caps don't even come into play until the tone knob hits 8.

I've checked them before to make sure they are all the way up.

I roll them off on single coil bridge pickups somewhat regularly in deference to any dogs within a three mile radius.

Man, I'd turn the bridge pickup on my Tele up to 11 if I could.

If you gotta have knobs, you gotta do it right, like the ones that came with my pawn shop Epi LP Jr.

NGD. Too bad I won’t be home until the 26th.

Shipped this morning. Yeah, you might think it's ugly, but fuck the haters. 😆

And they are only making 1,000 of them. If the prices of the ones they released in 2007 are any indication, the value should go up. Those were a poly finish, too. These are nitrocellulose. 

Did they drag it behind the delivery truck or something?

It reminds me of the Rotoscoped part of the Money For Nothing video.

I hope so

 

I had played two copies of the old version and, looks aside, they were two of the best Telecasters I'd ever played. Always wanted one. We will see if the new ones compare.

Looks to be the first real demo and examination...

I remember when west guitars? I think that’s their name shipped me a Gibson ES 335 I spent almost 4k on in just the Gibson box and left it on my door step for anyone to steal. That was fun

what is the name of this photo effect

OS0zOTc3LmpwZWc.jpeg

i keep not being able to believe my eyes that I'm seeing an unedited photo with that guitar. Which I think is... joe strummer guitar is by definition cool but I think the mindfuck I'm experiencing with the pictures is also cool.

Sweetwater also takes really washed out pics of their stuff, which I don't understand. Every guitar I get from them looks much better in person. The pics and videos of the Strummer without all the harsh lighting look much better.

Everyone who saw that box on your door step probably thought it was some sort of sting operation and way too good to be true.
