    I'm going for the thinline tele, probably the blue HH but maybe the red P90 version.

  • @axisus I agree. I'm only having a go too because I saw the HB guitars some time back and thought they were too good to be any good. This modding challenge made me take the plunge and buy one which is getting a complete overhaul etc. Just want to have some fun and show off each others ideas. I have no chance of winning against peeps like @WezV. Just adding another axe to the collection.

    What about a roadworn finish or gold leaf? Do you want to re finish it or leave the grain alone? Looks a nice finish in the photo as is. Depends how much work you want to give yourself. LOL

    These 2 tele's look amazing. Surely these aren't HB's?!?!

    Edit: I like the red with P90's personally. Stunning.

    Yeah, I'm thinking the only thing I can do is a bit of light relic'ing. Or "vandalism" as some would call it. It's a very good spec guitar so not entirely sure I can make it "better" without spending vastly more than the guitar itself on Tonepros's stuff etc.

    One of these is on its way to Edinburgh. I'll keep you posted.

    Trigger pulled. I got a B stock one of these for just over £80 after delivery charges and my 40 EUR voucher for writing reviews.

    I was going to go for a B stock blue HH model but someone bought it before I got round to it. I'm not bothered though, I don't have any P90 guitars at the moment so this gives me something different.

    Is that the square necked version for lap playing? Nice.

    I don't think I'm gonna post an ongoing thread on mine, it will be embarrassing if I bugger it up! I may just whack it all up at the end if I like it.

    Ordered a 335 type last night.    Hopefully I'll find time during half term next week to make a start on it :)

  • Belatedly, I'm in!

    Mine was a 'Deko' - they sell them off for decoration purposes only.  It was because the neck was shafted, so I've slapped on one I got from AliExpress with 'gen-u-whine' Fedner logo.

    Still needs some work on the setup but it's getting there and doesn't sound half bad!
