Now that's a treat though I would prefer the standard Tele pickups.

Not feeling the AS bridge, and don't like the 2 tone body. Paint the whole damn thing and put on a vintage bridge and I might be interested.

 

[Flamencology]

Not Halloweeny enough.

Also, lame as fuck.

[VoidTerraFirma]

Hell yes.

Have we done this one?

This is one of my several Horror Theme pieces.
I am thinning out my person collection so I am letting a few go.
This was the first of only what Schecter told me 7-10 were made, I have a copy of that email from them that will be included. They were all airbrushed by Chris Compston that has done a lot with Schecter in the past and other well known manufacturers.

Filtertrons in a Tele are a magical thing.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Filtertrons in a Tele are a magical thing.

...but not my thing.

 

[bsman]

I'd give that a whirl!

 

[Aahzz]

I love Teles. I love Lake Placid Blue. I love matching headstocks. I also particularly love bound Teles.

Somehow, that guitar takes so many individual factors that I love and ends up ugly.

 

[jelloman]

I like the back...

 

[reverend1]

...but not my thing.

That’s surprising. I imagine they would sit well in your style.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I have tried many types of pickups and find that either the standard Tele types or the Danelectro lipstick ones are the only ones that sound right for my songs.

 

[Modern Saint]

I would try...

 

[jp_nyc]

Cabronitas were a cool fad.

 

[yabba]

oh yes

 

[Psychotronic]

Nice!

 

[reverend1]

Cabronitas were a cool fad.

I love them, but I want a tone control.
