My main one is this, modded MIM Standard. Warmoth birdseye maple neck, Kinman 60's pickups w/4-way angled(!) switch, graphtech saddles and nut, schaller locking tuners. A rock machine

that angled switch is pretty cool looking.

It's very cool, and saves me from accidentally turning down the volume.
Got it from Kinman with the pickups.

Chad, who's going dictate the nomenclature so know what is and isn't a Tele?
I mean, these all work for me and so would Gordon's Yamaha Pacifica super-Tele (like this one):
...but I don't want to be wrong.

So a Thinline Tele had sex with a Carvin, but the Tele genetics won out...to a certain extent.

Carvin???
I'm not seeing anything Carvinish. It's a straight Warmoth thinline tele.

I'll accept it. But you and I are just clueless people, so who knows

That level of curly/quilted maple is generally reserved for over the top Carvins of the 1980's. Not unlike this one:
Don''t get me wrong, I still want this guitar, Kahler and all. That said, I'd rather have your old Tele.

Ahh, gotcha. I thought it was more of a flame top, but it was in the screamin deals when I bought it. It was cheaper than building a solid tele from alder unfinished so I snagged it.

All your Teles are nice, but this one is extra sweet.

You do realize that somene is gonna show up and explain that a proper tele has a three barrel vintage style bridge, two singles, and a maple fretboard, right?

Here are mine from the terrible Reverb photos taken by the people I bought mine from...
The Baja comes back from the shop this weekend...had a chip repaired where the seller gouged the fretboard while replacing the nut (and didn't tell me). Plus it was set up for absolute crap.

It is just fantastic. Everyone has his idea of what constitutes the perfect Tele, but for my taste and preferences this can't be improved upon.
