kevin_lindsay Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I've posted this before, but here's a link to see the build from start to finish: http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-discussion-forum/369354-andy-summers-style-build.html the guitar will be back with me this weekend - can't wait!!
police squad Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Very nice Kevin. I put together a similar thing for my Police tribute band, only it was reliced to look like Andy's. The guys at the painted player did the routing, wiring mods and relicing. I just supplied the basic tele which I had put together previously from some parts I had lying around. Mine doesn't have the Clapton boost circuit, it has some cheap boost circuit which, TBH, is rubbish. It's ok when it's switched in but it needs to be on minimum boost, then it adds a little more sparkle. That said, it was a great guitar before it was sent to them but now it really looks the part. (It's a poly finish, Fender Japan body, but on stage you can't really tell)
Ancient Mariner Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 That was interesting Kevin. IIRC the original actually had a fuzz built in, and I'd thought the custom shop model reproduced that, but obviously not. Fantastic job on the finishing, though I'm not so sure about the Fender Custom shop stickers even though you explained your stance to someone in the thread. Anyway, glad you're happy with your guitar.
police squad Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I think the fuzz box came out of the guitar years ago. It was replaced by something else as far as I remember. The last time I saw a pic of the original guitar it was missing the switch in the body. There was just a hole!!
