Any love for the No-caster?

[Bazz Jass]

I mean that neck is something else. I've got big hands but I can see that for some it would be a struggle.

Great lap tray!

I have been playing with the idea of buying a tele kit just for the body, flipping it on its front, and then treating the wood so I can use it as a cheese board.

A bit expensive just to throw the majority of the kit away, but I think it would make a nice gift.

Absolutely. Would love a Nocaster. I know, it's just a Tele with the transfer trimmed, but still...

I know, but that's a cutting board, not a cheese board, cut into the shape of a guitar body, which is stupid.

Just a classic guitar

Beautiful! Unfortunately I have small hands and the necks are just too big for me.

 

[Bazz Jass]

Absolutely. Would love a Nocaster. I know, it's just a Tele with the transfer trimmed, but still...

Also with a huge neck - really quite unique to the Nocaster I believe. You know when you're playing it. Then when you switch back to your other electrics the necks feel tiny

I'm not dropping the wine, don't worry about that!

A modern twist on the original blackguard. Rosewood fretboard & 6 individual saddles. Partridge Family headstock.

Actually, it's not.
Besides the ultra fat neck, there's a proprietary wiring scheme:
the 3 switch positions are 'deep bass' (extreme treble rolloff),
blend of neck and bridge (controlled by the tone knob in the
middle switch position),
and 'no-load' bridge (tone knob disabled in the rearmost switch
position).

That's not the usual Tele setup of neck/both/bridge.

Love the guitar….
the wine?
if thats a real no caster, , a bottle of jack is much more appropriate , come one man….muhahaha

I have a CS NOS 2003 Nocaster and I love that big chunky neck. I have small hands, but I can still rock on this ax.

 

[myredstrat]

so I can use it as a cheese board.

DO IT!
I had an idea to make a turntable out of a telecaster body
even had most of the parts from Rega, and Goldring, but no body.
Parts are all gone now though

What's that clamped to the decal? Risky!

Great lap tray!

Finally, a proper use for a Tele!

You're in good company. Danny Gatton had short, Vienna sausage fingers and played monster big necks.

Interestingly, mine (2008 NOS) was factory setup with standard tele wiring. An additional 3-way switch, with vintage spec wiring, is in a sealed bag in the case compartment.

Having tried the original vintage set-up on a friend's guitar, I'm happy to stick to modern wiring as installed.

I regret never having taken a dive into any one of the tele iterations. Kinda like something missing in my education.

I had the option in the early 90's to walk away with a 1957 Tele, or a 64 strat. Long story. I went with the strat.

Thus I have this to add to my multitude of regrets. Another is never having played Kennedy Center. Or written a song that went double platinum. Or have Audrey Hepburn flirt with me. Or ridden backseat in an EA18 Growler (you reading this Martin?)...

But, my dog loves me and spouse tolerates me, thus I die a wealthy man...but I digress...

@Bazz Jass ... Last guy put his beverage on one of my instruments is, to this day, 20 years later, sucking his nourishment through a straw. Not joking.
