Seems to be the same color!

HA! you are right, cool! I love those skulls

I'm am making some changes to that hollow body.. I've replaced the switch ring with a coin and I'm thinking about a roller bridge and a different bridge pickup.. I'm just too use to buckers... I need a thicker sounding bridge pickup... the stock one is just too... too... fendery

It really looks like the same color at these pics.
Skulls: found them a year ago when my wife and i were shopping for Baby stuff at the local Baby Center. They are from a pirate sticker set and have also a bit sparkle. Love em!

Mudfuzz, I will not report you to the Treasury Dept.

chillerthanmost, that Tele is badass.

UNF.
Dude, the picture makes them look like little figurines.
They should make gumball machine guitars.

It's a Vintage Modified Tele Custom II. Painted the pickguard caramel, dropped a Bareknuckle in the bridge spot (plus a few internal gut upgrades), as well and a nut and bridge replacement. Pretty solid guitar considering I got it at an employee discount price at the time.

Haha, never though about it looking that way. Thanks.
I'm always surprised at how many comments it gets whenever I post a picture. I'm glad it looks sweeter than the way I see it. It will always be a $170 guitar to me with a few upgrades. But it does sound great and I do love blondes

you stuck a unique-looking tele and a ric in the same picture... that's like an autonomous comment generator!

good stuff, man!

Callaham makes some really great stuff.

I replaced my Mustang Special's Strat hardtail bridge because it looked all kinds of wrong. Wanted a full Callaham replacement but they don't offer a Toronado-style bridge I was after.

Regardless, I used their Vintage "CG" bent steel saddles (narrow 2 1/16" for the MIM like your Tele ^) and they're top notch! Very sturdy and well crafted, guitar intonation is spot on, and the best part is they send short AND long saddle screws so you don't have 'em digging in your hand if, like me, you rest it on the bridge. I'd imagine a full bridge setup from them would only be an improvement.

I think mine is actually gonna wind up being the 2 7/32 unless I'm mistaken.

From Callaham's site. http://www.callahamguitars.com/partstel.htm

Callaham 6 Vintage stamped steel "CG" saddles with stainless intonation and height adjustment screws, springs, and allen wrench. ("cg" not shown in pic),
nickel plated
Callaham top plate
with 3 stainless top plate screws
2 7/32 string spacing

Note on Hardtail bridges. This hardtail is suitable for 70's Teles with the wide spaced humbuckers only.

That not withstanding,...I'm sure the upgrade for you PS Mustang was totes worth it. I think the CG saddles on their own are like 40 bucks. You can get the standard saddles from Fender for like $14. My line of thinking is if I want to upgrade,...might as well spend the extra $30 and get the whole assembly from Callaham.

They are seemingly highly regarded on TDPRI.

I'm considering one of the Squier Jags at a mom and pop,...so I'm with you,...just a $200 guitar.

I love $200 guitars.

Yeah, that may be right, wide spacing is probably used on the 70's era Teles with the WRHB. I was replacing a Strat-style narrow spacing and was informed most MIM/MIJ stuff utilizes the 2 1/16 regardless of model but who knows.

Either way it's a solid upgrade and I would've loved to find a full kit as opposed to pricey saddles on their own. I'm sure you'll be happy with the end result
