Default Classic Vibe-60 CUSTOM Telecaster

LOVE this Telecaster, has a bunch of work done to it already. But its was a very good Tele to start with.






But ya, theres been a ton of upgrades on it already. All electronics and pick-ups, bridge and saddles, pick-guard routed, Out-put Jack upgraded. Though these photos don't show yet the original Tele brass knobs were also added to the non-threaded brass shaft pots.

Anyway can you tell I LOVE it. really sound fantastic. I have a stock 50-CV also for all traditional Tele sounds and a CV-60 Strat. So it was a natural for me to make an appearence here.

Its a 10-ohm Modern/Vintage Rail from GFS. Ive use SDs and have had Joe DiMarzio custom wind me a couple for my Hamers.

But these Lil Puncher bridge rail 10ohm. It a spot on pick-up. I've used them is "three" diferent Teles thus far and have been nothing but impressed with them. Very Clear and Clean with excellent output. If you roll back the volume a bit it cops a great single-coil Tele tone. Mine here is tapped and a 5-way is added. So it gets great single coil Tones also. And is Hot enough where it works in SC mode. But the humbucker mode with just the volume rolled back works exceptional.

I used the neck also in a Tele MOF theres a photo on this forum of my Shorline Gold Tele with both Rails in. That I wasn't as impressed with. Not clean enough for me.

But on the contrary, I have a threesome on Lil Killers in a Strat partscaster I built. Im LOVE that set. And its the first set I used by GFS that got me fooling in his direction.

Without a doubt I like them better tha SDs and DiMarzios though. I've played Bill Lawrence 250's and they are VERY impressive also. They cop the best vintage Strat tone I've ever heard with a rail. Well give Coco Montoyas 1st CD released a listen to. Those are 250 rails by BL. A liitle less output than the Killers and a bit more jangly. I could not believe it when I was first told those were rails. Someone asked me what was the best vintage Strat tone I have heard. I mentioned that LP without knowing what Coco was using. Shocked me when I found out. I've been fooling with Rails since.

I think he meant the neck pickup. It looks like a filtertron from Gretch?

No not a Gretch or a TV Jones its a Liverpool GFS. If you listen to the sound clips at Guitarfetish it will give you ALL his Retrotrons in CLEAN and in DIRTY mode. Also will explain which are ceramic and which are alnico.

The Liverpool came closest to what I was looking for and it has not disappointed me. I'm very happy with it. MOF the CV-60 Custom gets as much play as my USA Guitars, And trust me thats saying a LOT.

But I would recommend you hand-pick your guitars. You could easily end up with a electric that rivals those of much much more money.

I bought my Custom sight unseen. Love it. Nothing I've found to fault it.

Some of my practice stuff over the past week:

Sure!

I saw one in store next to my place, loved it, but bought one online. It's the same weight and feel. So in my eyes and ears, I got a clone.

But I know what you mean buying locally. And do agree, in a sense. But also find it funny when people say cheap guitars vary more than expensive one (not saying you would say that, but it's a common thing), so you "might get lucky" with a cheap one. I think all guitars vary, not depending on price.

What pickguard did you have to use? Mini Humbucker? Humbucker? P90? I nominate this guitar for Squier of the month for Nov. I have this exact guitar and I want to do what you did... you have to tell me what pickguard and the exact pickup. . Please post links from GFS.

Thanks,

TJ
