I am soon to be a member of the club (again). I have not had a Tele for a number of years but one is on the way from our very own forum member fws6 and I am stoked to get it.
I can't find anything on google so I was wondering if any of you could help. I am looking for a wooden telecaster pickguard but with a humbucker sized hole. It is hard enough to find wooden ones (and if you have any suggestions there I would love to hear them too because I might have to cut the hole myself) but I can't seem to find any info on a wooden pickguard with room for a humbucker.

Just yesterday I got my Danocaster in: Firemist Gold, double bound. It sounds and plays like a dream! I've always played archtops, but decided to get this as a 40th bday present to myself. Dan has a long waitlist, but it was worth the wait and I'm very happy with it so far.

double bound gold...nice
enjoy
cheers

OK, I guess I'll claim my seat here. 2013 Squier Affinity BSB. Pictured here with my '92 LP Studio.
The Tele got a new harness with a 4 way Oak Grigsby switch, CTS pots, and one of those Russian PIO caps. Pickups are still the Squier originals...for now.
Edit...went rifling thru my FB pix for the harness itself. Found 'em....

I am looking for a telecaster armrest - anyone know of one? I found the Pearse armrests but don't know if they will fit a telecaster, or specifically which one would fit. I also found the TK Smith ones but the curly parts wouldn't look good even though functionally they are what I am looking for. The edge of the body is digging into my right forearm tendon and playing this guitar for hours makes that uncomfortable. I will get used to it but an armrest would certainly help.
Also I am back in the club after having not having a telecaster for a while - the partscaster I bought from our very own fws6 arrived last weekend and it is all I have been playing since it arrived. I am in love!

In humble abject deference I bow before thee all and request admittance in to the Tele clan.
I honestly don't know why I waited so long. Love this guitar. Been a Strat man for decades. I can't help but feel I had been missing something all this time.
My first Tele. Have had it about 4 months now and it has already proven itself gig worthy. Got some bells and whistles, chunky neck, 1-3/4 nut, Area 51s. Super happy with sound for jazz and blues. Might have to get two. This one is set up with 11s but I think I want to go a notch up for jazz. Overall, what a workhorse.

We accept you, one of us.

My "New" Tele I got ~2005, American body, MIM neck (ash) added EMG's and "skull" tone and volume knobs.
This was to replace my "All American" Tele I previously owned, but one day, just walked away from our studio.
The "New" Tele, I played Sunday (been playing Bass in the band and only Archtop at home) and I had forgotten
that this guitar actually plays itself, so sweet, so smooth, such worderfull tone. Rebonding with a guitar is so nice...
Especially if it is a TELE!!!

Same here - not usually into sunburnt teles but that is practically glowing and the grain is just beautiful.

I do, but it's not a requirement.
I think folks have said Ed Bickert used rounds, and not particularly heavy gauge ones either...all in the touch, I guess.
-
Not req'd at all - our friend Time Lerch uses something like a 14-60 round on his tuned down Tele. I like a burnished 12-52 when I can find them - I tune down a 1/2 step on my 'jazz' Tele.

I use D'Addario Chromes 11's on mine

Frank was nice enough to include new Pyramids with my partscaster and although I had tried them before I had not tried these hand polished ones. I really, really like them. They feel and sound great - retain the brightness of rounds but with a nice smooth feel from the polishing that feels better and smoother than half rounds that I have tried. So right now it is set up with those, a .012 gauge set but with a .013 and .017 on the E and B. I would like to step them all up a gauge when this set dies. So no, you definitely don't need flats but the heavier gauges really do help with getting a "jazz" sound. 12 and 16 was just a bit too light for me though and I could hear the difference. But I know lots of guys who use 12s and sound great so I know that is just a personal thing.
Edit: Skip, that is a beautiful body. I'd love to hear it and/or see it all assembled. One of my let peeves with thin line teles is that I don't think the one f hole looks good but yours is just great.

You're going to love this guitar. I got a Danocaster last fall and it's the best tele style guitar I have ever played
Enjoy!!
