Re: Tele Talk
Good to know MIM is not something to shy away from.
Did some digging and found these. Fender Japan did a series of 72 Tele Customs around 2010:
Notice how the switch has been moved with the pots, so three pots, one switch. And there's no bevel on the pick guard.
And Fender USA did a limited run of these, the Fender Special Run 1972 Tele Custom:
There's one for a good price on OSG now, but shipping to Oz kills it.

Re: Tele Talk
Found this 78 Custom on Reverb, too, but the price is off the charts:
So maybe they were doing a few rosewood boards in the late 70s?

Re: Tele Talk
^ I've played a couple of Nash guitars (a Strat and a Tele) and wasn't impressed. And yeah, they're really expensive for what they are. Plus, I kinda hate "relics".

Re: Tele Talk
Partcaster?
If tele neck's are standard why not change them like pedals or strings?

Re: Tele Talk
I quite like my Ron Kirn tele. I kinda wonder whether an Ilitch silent single coil system would work well for it, though...
