American standard, Ash slab body. Not very twangy by has great ringing tone, neck pickup sounds incredible and quite Hendrix-y. Originally planned to refinish the body but never got around to it.
 

Looks similar to mine. What year?

Telecaster Deluxe '72 Reissue.  It was a very undeserved gift from the most energetic and generous person I've ever known, and it's the only "lifer" among my electrics.  The pickguard, pots, pickups (Fralin p90s), and knobs are all mods, though.  I grew to dislike the WRHBs that come stock on these models.

2006 I think. I need to sort that tiny pic out!

Mine’s a 2004 in Lite Ash. I’d agree about the twang. Mine's a nice sounding guitar but it doesn’t really have that Tele ‘spank’. I’m quite tempted by the 50s Vintera just to have something that sounds (and looks) a bit more like my idea of a Tele.

Got this 6 months ago. 4 way and brass saddles added and I seriously haven’t played anything else since. Great bit of kit

I recently converted my Squier FSR Esquire into a Double Esquire. More accurately, I took the neck off the Esquire and added it to a bunch of parts I acquired separately – a 'loaded pickguard' with hand wound pickups from a CS Nocaster, a Mastery bridge and a Vintera 50s body. The colour is a bit ugly but the body was available at a good price.

The body for this was made by the late great Brian Poe and the whole guitar weighs just 3kg strung.



This one has a Guitar Mill body

I want your case @SteveRobinson !!

@Strat54 you'd have to buy the guitar with it!

I've just done a video with two of the teles from the original post. A stab at some Robben Ford.

Nice guitars and nice playing sir!  Enjoyed that, not heard that Robben Ford track before so will definitely check it out.  I particularly liked your metallic blue bound tele...and the white one had some nice bite to it ...but my favourite was the gold top Tele at the end!

Ah, thanks so much for the kind words mate! It might be sacrilegious to say your liked the Les Paul the most in a tele thread! Ha! 

It was a last minute addition - I was just going to record the teles. It was sat on the stand in the studio begging to be played and Robben has been known for using a goldie so I thought "why not?!" Back to trying to nail some Gary Moore on it tomorrow!

Why do you think I called it a Tele!!

That's cruel @SteveRobinson ;! Whenever I see these case they are in the US and the postage is now crazy. I contacted G&G to ask them if they would consider making them again. They told me I would need to order 20. 
Is the Tele for sale then lol? Brian Poe was a legend on the old TDPRI forum. I have a set of his Broadcaster knobs.

Not mine, but I saw this on Ebay - I know that the Telecaster Deluxe (large headstock, 4 rotary controls, 3 way toggle) gives 2 humbuckers, and ditto the 70's Thinline - but I'd never before seen a 'standard' Telecaster with 2 humbuckers - probably just my sheltered upbringing! LOL - anyway, though I'd share the pic of this one in Ghost Silver - not sure if it has coil-taps for SC tones - didn't say so on the spec, which would seem a bit of a waste if it didn't. Pretty though.
