Love that EO! Vintage gold.
How bout that Tele? Is it vintage as well? The bridge isn’t giving me enough clues...
That Tele is not “officially” vintage. It is one of two I call The Sisters. One Tele, and one Strat, from 1982 and 83. They are both E series made in Japan Squiers.
I got them both from a guitar trading buddy really cheap ~ one in exchange for me doing a brake job for him, lol, sometime back in the ‘90s.
I took out the original guts in the Tele ~ six saddle bridge, pickups, control plate, switches, pots...bagged them and put in good stuff ~ Fender vintage 3 saddle bridge, Fender Black Guard pickups, CTS and Switchcraft pots, switches, and jacks.
I had played it so much that some of the frets were quite worn down, so last winter, I did a level & polish job on the neck.
It’s a special guitar ~ sounds and plays incredible.
This is the one I traced out to make templates for the first home-build Tele I did.
The only thing I’ve swapped on the Strat is the bridge pickup. The original was too thin and trebly for my taste, so last year, I put in a hand wound pickup from a great winder named John Benson. Much better. I have used his Tele and P.90s ~ highly recommended.
Glad you like my old Camillus
