Re: Show us your Telecasters
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

Re: Show us your Telecasters
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.

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?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

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.
