The elusive tele-osist

[bombtek]

I remember seeing one one the bay maybe a year or more ago. It was a US Jackson neckthrough tele. Any word on how rare these guitars are? or if they were just custon shop orders. I would like to find one.

Carvin makes a neck-thru Tele style guitar called the TL60. They can be had with any pickup configuration... S/S, S/S/S, H/S/S, H/S/H, H/H.

And Carvin makes the SC90, which I argue is more "Tele" styled than "Les Paul" styled:

I was lucky enough to snag this one, formerly owned by Raven Storm. He had Carvin install custom Duncan pickups, Floyd, gold hardware, and a scalloped neck from the 12th fret up.

Re: The elusive tele-osist

Hey, yours looks like mine! Joe, you have a superb collection of Carvins and are quite the man on the Carvin forum. (Not that you're not the man on the Jackson forum, but you know what I mean!)

Re: The elusive tele-osist

LOL Thanks, Joe! I know what you mean. Carvins rock!! I've been thinking of getting another SC90 eventually, the same Classic White color, with standard body sides like yours, gold hardware, the two vol./two tone controls, ebony board with MOP inlays... I kinda want the LP Custom look with black knobs (maybe black and gold knobs), black pickup bezels, zebra pups, maybe gold pups eventually, standard 3+3 headstock. Though, I may want a Floyd on it!

BTW, that Jackson Tele is super sweet!!!

Is that the red dot 7Up guy? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Cool! Yes, that's the red dot dude. RacerX found a cool German site with a bunch of wicked graemlins/smilies and I stole his thunder. Check these bad boys out:

Re: The elusive tele-osist

Thanks Jamie, I am waiting to hear back from the owner, some of these rare beauties are from Canada, these 2 are and I am selling my Hamer USA Goldtop. I like the Blitz as well as the Standard, just not as fancy, but I waited for the banana headstock option, they are far and few between, the guitar is dark blue, both are all gauranteed 100% Factory optioned [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Jack.
