Tele shaped objects are allowed right? I've got a G&L ASAT Super & a Fender 50's Baja,

I am a hair away from going ahead with a telecaster project. Warmoth tele body, alder, single cream binding, black. Maple neck with rosewood finger board, Wolfgang profile. Modern tele bridge with hot SD. Cream p90 in neck - or maybe a TV Jones classic filtertron.

No scratch plate.

It would look a lot like a Fender Aerodyne tele, but with flat top, beefier neck and better pickups, and better wood (not that basswood sucks).

Would not have much resale value, but I'd get at least 5 years' of playing out of it, at USD200 per annum. Cheaper than more expensive hobbies like golf, bus masturbation or taxidermy. Wait, bus masturbation is quite cheap with a Hopcard so maybe I'll take that up instead.
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Friend of mine was on the bus one day when a guy got up just before his stop, squatted down in the exit area and took a dump on the floor, then got off at the stop... unreal...

Was watching one of the Joe-Bonamassa-shows-off-his-collection videos the other day. Great quote:

"What shouldn't you do with an original '51 Nocaster? Route it for a humbucker. But once you've got a PAF in there, well, now you can have some fun"

True!!!

I think it would look cooler if the relic-ing was done to make it look line there had previously been a normal tele bridge on there first.

That is just completely wrong in every way.
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.
