I picked this up a couple days ago used from Guitar Center for $638 out the door. It is literally unplayed in like new condition. I put a new set of 9-42 NYXL’s on it and it plays and sounds great.

The pickups are Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge and SD 59 for the neck pickup.

This is my 1999 Nashville Tele. It has the 5 way selector switch. I would like to be able to select the bridge/neck pickups. I’m considering adding a push pull tone pot to achieve this. Has anyone done this? Looking to avoid pitfalls as I am a novice.

Hope this counts as a Tele despite the missing headstock lol. This is a thing of beauty, the finish is a lot darker than it looked on the website and I am in love!

Overall I am very happy with it and it's a lot of fun to play on the compound radius fretboard. Though the tuners could be easier to turn imo.

Sounds just like a Tele, but a bit on the thinner side. The cavities are properly shielded and I was pleasantly surprised to find a treble bleed installed right from the factory.

Setup wise, I threw my go-to 10-52 strings on and went through the usual steps. The nutslot for the g string is a bit high, but workable. The high e had a few buzzing frets between 2 and 6, but a bit more neck relief took them right out. Didn't have to do a thing to the intonation, it was spot on right away.

The only real issues are slight fret sprout (not skin-cutting, but definitely noticeable) and one of the saddle height adjustment screws being stripped, despite having used the allen key that came with it.

I got this beaten up tele from old warehouse. these saddle looks fairly good in term of condition but i want to swap it to blocky modern one for looks. Does it need to be an offset type cuz this one doesnt seem like it use normal saddles

I heard the 2012 American Vintage are the closest thing you could get to actual vintage without spending big bucks
