Shoreline Gold La Cabronita

[Tonar8352]

Wow this thing turned out nice and sounds amazing, the TV Jones pickups are huge sounding.  Now I'm going to have to build one for myself. I believe the more people that have the opportunity to play and hear one of these the more Warmoth is going to sell them.  It smokes a regular Tele.

That looks amazing! What kind of bridge is that?

I am not positive, but it sure looks like the Glendale half-plate to me.
I have been wanting to try one out. 
What ever it is, that La Cabronita is a beauty  :glasses9:

That thing does look beautiful.  Which TV Jones pickups are those?

That Tele... wooooo-la-la-dee-da!~

 

[NonsenseTele]

Awesome! I'd like to try one!

The model # on the pickups is FT4TVJ-NE-SS TV Classic neck and FT3TVJ-NE-SS TV Classic bridge. They were ordered with nickel covers, no ears, short screws, TV Jones covers.

The bridge and saddles came from Marc Rutters. When I do one for myself I will probably use Marc's bridge with Glendale Saddles.

Cool, I'm actually planning on using a Rutter's control plate on my build.

Yea, seeing that Rutters half-plate up close, I like it much more than the Glendale.  It has a little more meat to it...
Very nice!

Looks f..... great!

Is that really shoreline gold? I think shoreline gold looks much darker?
Do you have a colour code? I am from Germany and will try to find someone who can finish my tele like this one, the colour is amazing!

Amazing work as always..

I really like the cabronita concept.. it is so basic and still really classy... I like it!

 

[bigguspickus]

Wow, that gold looks great! And you used the pearl-button Sperzel tuners!

Is that a Warmoth vintage modern neck or something else?

 

[rapfohl09]

Wow, that is super classy. It may be blasphemy, but I want to do a La Cabronita with regular humbuckers, I love every single feature about those bodies. Although I havent ever heard the tv-jones pickups, so maybe that will change my mind haha.

  It smokes a regular Tele. 

I dunno about that. It's not really a Tele, is it?

It all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is...  :icon_tongue:

 

[Jusatele]

it fits my definition of a tele. I think of teles as having attitude, those things have attitude.
no soft jazz coming out of that.

 

[ramonet]

I have used the TV Jones Classic pickup in one of my projects and it's amazing, with a really personal character. I must try this on a Tele... and on an SG, a Strat...

Very nice.
