- Rare Fender Deluxe Millenium Edition Telecaster
guitarz.blogspot.com: This simple, sober Telecaster may not look like anything special but it was apparently one of only 30 made in the first week of the new millennium. I'm not sure if that was even really a "thing' or not but it does make...
- Extra Curvy Super-fake Telecaster
guitarz.blogspot.com: There is a lot to like about this "Telecaster" 1- It's a nice variation on a very well known theme 2- It's only $95 ( and that's Canadian dollars, so it's almost free ) 3- The outdoor pictures can help me forget...

So here I am with my DIY telecaster... First the mate transparent black finish I want is not something you can just get from a shop apparently... It seems that I have to combine a pigment and a varnish - so I will meet an art carpenter in the coming days who should explain me how to do it... Also I realized that since I'm not a telecaster fan - I don't despise the old lady of course but have no hero playing on it - I'm quite free to let my fantasy loose - in the frame on what I can do... So I will exhaust my bad taste by making it dark psychedelic, with a baroque headstock (I'm trying to avoid the can opener curse, it's very hard) and an engraved aluminium pick-guard if I can make one (I found out that there is an engraver in my neighborhood and will pay him a visit soon). Like this I can be sober on my real projects - and still make this telecaster a special guitar...
