Love the body, not keen on the neck or headstock really.

Not my cup of tea at all. I have to have painted bodies and I prefer maple necks, but hey plenty of people will love it

Totally love it, my Mexican Tele is a rosewood one, but not the full whammy like this. Mine has a rosewood veneer on the front and back of the body and a maple neck with rosewood 'board.

The full rosewood job would be lovely...

EDIT..mine below =D

Each to their own, oh...and I'm sure it will sound incredible

SwishSpencor · 12 Jan 2008 at 18:38

That looks great imo, don't think much of the scratch plate though

Its completely Rosewood.Including the neck just like the maple necks of the strats and tele's.

The neck,fretboard and headstock is one solid piece of Rosewood.

Why?

Nice guitar - very Status Quo.

I'm not very keen on the colour of the neck and headstock. It will sound awesome, but I think it looks a bit off.

Yeah, I know but it doesn't appeal to me visually, looks are all I have to go on 'cause I've never played it

In what sense?

Fender never made one for them its circa 1970

Andelusion · 13 Jan 2008 at 01:09

That will be a very bright sounding guitar.

Looks nice though.

Status Quo use about 20 Fender Telecasters on stage.
All Status Quo tribute bands use Telecasters.
Its THE DEFINITIVE sound.
Beautiful guitars.
You're a lucky boy.

Yes but they never used a solid rosewood tele. IIRC

Northwind2 · 13 Jan 2008 at 18:35

Maybe I'm just being perverse, but I think that'd look ace with a maple fretboard

Perhaps not but Telecaster = Status Quo.

(and Country & Wetern)

Glad this thread started, been playing mine all day today..

Anyhow..

Legend..

cokecan · 14 Jan 2008 at 15:10

looks awesome and will sound great

i think the BWB scratchplate goes with the dark rosewood colour pretty well, only bit im not too keen on is the head, think i prefere the maple coloured one in the pic TK7 posted

Keith Richards favorite guitar is the tele.

Clapton played one with the yardbirds.
