You guys are talking about this thing, right?

^^^That actually looks like exactly the kind of Tele I'd want... lovely white with rosewood fretboard.

The moderately silly thing about a quest like this for me is that I already have a Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster that I got brand new for really cheap... and it's the best value on a guitar for the price I've ever gotten.

So I already have a white offset JM with a huge headstock and excellent sounding pickups, and it stays in tune like a tuning fork. I think what I'll do is maybe build one of these Telemasters if I get a few records recorded... as a reward. But that will be a long time from now.

I'd really just like a super-well made Epiphone Casino.

The frontman in my band is getting a bursty Casino from the '60s.. For free. It's getting some work done on it right now.

I'm sooo stealing that thing from him hahaha

Also - omg that white Tele looks amazing.

Yeeeeeeah MEC! Totally killer!

Looks like we've got nearly the same idea for what we want. I knew I wasn't TOTALLY INSANE.


Great work!

Thanks doods!
Like I said before, I would have been completely happy with a solid no pickup hole bridge if I
could have found one. Now that I know they exist but cost the same as the pickup and bridge
that I used combined, I'm still happy with what I have.

It would look awesome though!
