Heaven is two Telecasters

fretfinder

Well someone had to do it! My Cunetto Nocaster and Fender CS Custom Tele with Brazilian board. Sorry about the rubbish pics.

Cue heaven is three, four, five, six Telecasters...?

They are too nice. I'd love a double bound custom.

Looks like you have the ultimate 50s style tele and the ultimate 60s style tele so I think you should now just carry on through the decades.

Next up a 72 custom followed by a Tele plus for 80s followed by a Coxon for 90s etc. etc.

Right FFS this needs to stop now!!! ;-) A Tele addict like me does not need to keep seeing these threads!

Gorgeous guitars

+1 gorgeous!

Laaahvely. I especially like the Nocaster.

DulcetJones

Nice!  Now I'm looking at the white pick guard on my blonde tele AND the empy space beside it......oh the GAS.

What a lovely pair.

This is why we do partsacasters. Feed the Beast without breaking the bank.

Nice that sunburst mind.

It is indeed, 7.5lbs and Abby pickups. Unfortunately the Nocaster has a 'leaning headstock' as the highly figured maple has moved upward a tad and altered the geometry of the neck so there's more relief on the treble than on the bass side. It means you need a high action to avoid buzzing. I should probably wait for the right replacement neck to come up on here or eBay, been looking for a year or more...

jd0272

Not a cheap guitar for that to happen on, esp a sought after Cunetto build. No way to fettle it without slaughtering the 'value'? Mind, if it's a keeper and you can still play it fine....

fretfinder

It's beyond fettling. Fortunately I only paid £1150 for it, albeit that was about 10 years ago. If I was a slide player it would be fine! I'm sure I'll come across a good enough replacement neck one day and until then it will get the occasional noodling but won't be played out in anger.

Could you steam and clamp the neck to straighten the headstock?

I am no expert, but thought you could do something along those lines to fix the warp.

Bit of a shame that. Should think about starting a dedicated thread, as @stonevibe noted, there's some right clever buggers on here.

Loving the rosewood...

No idea but thanks for the suggestion.

I've been meaning to do a thread on the problem, will do soon.

then get thee a very affordable Squier CV  62  or better still a Tokai Breezy -  I had a CAR 62 with chrome s/plate

I feared that could happen to the figured necks on those Page era Fenders, so I sold mine a while back. Great guitars though...had a dozen of them at one time. Tom Anderson stopped using birdseye maple for that very reason. Yours looks alot like my first one which was serial R1542.

no - heaven is two Telecasters and a Fender Super Reverb !
