72 Tele Deluxe with the big headstock is pretty much the best looking of all tele's

Marginally.

How did the wall sound like before?

Woody. But all in all, it's just another nick....





















in the wall.

Thanks Conway for pointing us in the right direction for resizing the pics.
Anyway one of the herd. Thought I would put it up to divide all parties. Doubt there is any middle ground it is either a love it or hate it. Make it worse for the hate it crowd.... real gator skin on the pick guard

LOVE IT!!!

Sorry but no. Just no.

The relic on the sonic blue one doesn't look so bad after all...

Look up the clip "Leave Forever" by Supernova Plasmajets on youtube. New band from Germany. Should put most of you off yer Teles.

Work in progress with a major change to follow

nice, but I think some of the magic is in the neck single coil, be nice to see the new neck when it arrives, I don't much like the tele headstock shape either.

That's different!
Looking at it as a Relic, it's contrived and fake. Looking at it as art, it's distinctive and interesting. I'm in two minds over the thing; it's making me work hard.
Which makes it a winner!

What is it Troy?

It is a Palir. Make by by John Palir of Palir Guitars in Louisiana. Definately contrived and fake. Up close it is jaw dropping.
I look at it as a art piece rather than a relic. That was the selling point for me. They do some amazing stuff.
Check out their site. I now have two. The qc and guitars themselves are killer
Will try and throw some pics of the the other up later in the week.

Troy, you need to come to the Hamilton gearfest. And you need to come in one of these.
