Congrats

I have a 3-way mini toggle switch wired to a humbucker - the middle position is for both coils on - the up/down position selects each coil separately - the individual coils sound very different from each other, making it a very versatile wiring system.

First video we have seen of ya sir, we will definitely keep you around. I never knew about that particular model but now I'm sold on it, and the looks are an added bonus...

Great work, mate. In the current position you were years back selling your guitar (sudden bills that's making me have to clean out my collection). Really hope I don't end up too regretful haha but oh well, plenty of fish in the sea I guess.

Try to hold on to your favorites! It took me a lot of years to find another one. Cheers

I can remember trying a Tele model in this series that had a strat pickup in the neck around '98. I wish I bought it, it sounded great!

I have a 1997 Fender Telecaster USA California series my wife bought for me brand new, and they came with the 3 position selector switch, but it can be moved in-between to the out of phase positions.

I have the same guitar. I bought it when i lived in Germany anout 12 years ago for 300 dollars.

[@boechlerguitarsandrepair]

What do you think of yours?

[@FrugalFretter]

I swear I just saw this guitar for sale on FB Marketplace last week, haha. Congrats on the new guitar!

[@boechlerguitarsandrepair]

Might have been! I picked it up in Red Deer Alberta

[@FrugalFretter]

@@boechlerguitarsandrepair I’m in Dawson Creek BC, so I’m sure it was the same one.

[@Rockandrollgeerage]

How much did it cost?

[@kingstumble]

I bought a California Series Fat Tele in Vintage White when they came out----but I didn't sell mine! Good guitars.

[@dangitdan9938]

Mine 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

[@Rockandrollgeerage]

Nice, natural relic. Fake relics sell for 3 times these

My neighbor is offering me a black 97 cali tele with the tex mex neck pickup and a twin reverb (85 watt tube amp not the tone master) for $1,200. God is good 🙏🙏🙏
