The second one in particular is one I shouldn't have got rid of...

You really shouldn't have, it's excellent!

Here is my Ibanez AZS with a McNelly firebird neck pickup and McNelly tele bridge pickup. 12 inch radius, roasted maple with stainless steel frets. It's an amazing playing and sounding guitar!

What's the amp? I thought for a second it was a Princeton Reverb 65 RI but it can't be. No Fender badge and your old one you had 3 1/2 years ago is sitting approximately 6 feet to my right. What a superb amp that's turned out to be.

Much easier to use than an elbow, night and day

I've always found my elbows relatively easy to use.

But not when they get broken in a freak accident... capiche?

That curved control plate is really messing my head up!

It's quirky, but I really like it.

A humbucker and a fancy paint job. I guess this qualifies.

*has something.changed in posting IMGUR photos? It’s not working and I never had a problem before…. (Shuffles off to investigate…)

Yeah I’m having issues with imgur too. Something has changed.

The control plate is actually straight, it’s the whole guitar that’s curved.

I can’t get Flickr to embed on here. So here’s a library of My Feline ‘Phat Tabby’ complete with Bare Knuckle Rebel Yells, Floyd and a thin skin nitro finish.

Some lovely Teles here! That Feline looks great, @jeztone2.

Here's a video of someone who knows what they are doing (none other than the great Greg Koch) playing my super-ish Tele. This is also on the Tyler homepage:

The neck looks like a matchstick in his massive hands. Surely that's cheating I'm taking away his guitar points

@Devil#20 ah mate, so glad the Princeton is still with you. That was indeed a lovely amp! Hah that’s a keen eye - it’s a Rift PR18. Another Princeton in all but name! 

@BobHillman haha I’ve read other people comment on the design too! I think someone said it looks like a wang once … 

I’m not a proper tele guy so I don’t even notice it! Although, this guitar is making me want an old school tele as well. I put this Ibanez AZS against my mates Fender telecaster and the bridge pickup sound was more or less the same with a bit of drive. The neck pickup is a lot different with it being a firebird pickup though!

My self built Dark Destroyer 'Angel'

How do you find the sustainer?

I've fancied one of those for a long time but never got round to it - I've got a couple of ebows instead but the idea of flicking a switch seems a lot easier.

I really like it, it's a lot of fun! Having said that, I haven't used it for a looong time. One of my mini switches broke (A hazard of keeping guitars in our utility room), and I just haven't gotten around to fixing it. I need to work out what part I need, get off my ass and order it then get it fitted. 

Wiring up a sustainiac is a TOTAL pain in the ass though! Bloody hard. Took a ton of head scratching. The company website is dire and their instructions are really poor.

Yeah, I remember you saying you were possibly going to get a Rift amp at the time we met up. You say you're not a Tele guy but didn't you have a Suhr Alt-T with SSV pickups in it? Mate of mine has one with some Andy Wood pickups in it and it's probably the best sounding Tele I've heard. I've a Vintera road worn with Suhr Woodsheds in it which can give it a good run for the money though. The Suhr Tele is a superb guitar in all aspects though (apart from the headstock of course  ).

Mine, although the binding might exclude it from "super Tele" status. 

12" radius and twin Filtertrons, and a modern spoke wheel truss rod adjustment though.
I've since replaced the brass saddles for steel ones
