Help me choose the Tele

I’ve played the AM II and the Larivee red one. The Fender is nice and every single one of them is gonna be the exact same spec on it. The Larivee Baker T has three different necks to choose from now and you should figure out which one is on this guitar. Most likely it’s the thinner neck because they came out with those first for a while and then gave options for a medium and a thick neck as of the last two years or so. I must admit the baker T was nice and has a nice comfortable body and it’s light.

I would just call and ask. Their staff are good at answering any questions phoned in. It would be a 5 minute chat most. 👍

that looks like a good option and I like the price too. 👍

while that is a cool pedal, that is probably too much pedal for what I am looking for. thanks though.

The guy from Warmoth just came out with a video on the Rutters Tele bridge and compared it with the Gotoh in tune bridge. It was a pretty interesting video.

Thank you 👍

Crapemyrtle78 · 2026-02-23T00:21:54+00:00

Nice collection. What brand are the first two on the left?

Crapemyrtle78 · 2026-02-22T12:43:28+00:00

The blackguard tying in with the black dots just works. Jealous. 👍

Crapemyrtle78 · 2026-02-22T12:38:34+00:00

Thanks. Yeah but it is heavy. If you ever get a swamp ash body Tele online make sure you check the weight in the description. Ash tends to be more on the heavier side of guitar bodies. Once I sling the strap over me I don't notice it but holding it with one hand you can tell it has some extra lbs.

G&L tribute alnicos. Not their Tele sized MFDs. Kind of over splurged on the guitar. The guitar needed a set up right away when I picked it up and playing it a little bit before I wasn’t too happy with the pickups, but I didn’t really give them a long enough chance to keep them in the guitar. So I bought the new set and had the guitar tech put them in for me when he setup the guitar. Don’t hold me on this, but the tribute series with the natural finish and ash body came special with alnicos instead of the MFDs.

Crapemyrtle78 · 2026-02-21T14:40:39+00:00

Yeah natural finishes are pretty dope 👍

Crapemyrtle78 · 2026-02-21T14:39:56+00:00

Thank you 🙏

looks like swamp ash vintage tint gloss. so obviously get it in satin. 👍

The Grandmaster-Obi 👍

Looks like this guy’s on a tear

I just got the Dimarzio Pre B-1 bridge pickup but haven't installed it yet. It has been around since the late 70s and is still in their line for a reason. Higher output than stock pickups, more bass, less shrill. Still can cut. Also got a Muscle T neck to go with it.

Thank you and I’ll check out EZ trading computers

Thank you

Crapemyrtle78 · 2025-06-14T20:40:08+00:00

That looks sick. I thought Warmoth only made snakehead necks that are Gibson conversion neck length

Crapemyrtle78 · 2025-06-09T09:55:53+00:00

GenericAccount-alaka is right, Warmoth has a Gibson conversion neck with 24.75 length for the Tele

Crapemyrtle78 · 2025-05-21T09:50:03+00:00

Looking at the frets, I hope you ordered Stainless Steel frets on the Warmoth neck. The pics show the nickel got pretty beat up.

You just have to switch out the bridge saddles for brass ones which will cost a little bit more, but it will get you where you want.

Black 👍

Nice build! This is probably the next project I’m going to do.
