Great to see you here, Chuck!

Now that I have scored two awesome IRW Wood Library SC Ted's, I promise to stop stalking you to get my old one back, you can cancel the restraining order. :mrgreen:

Dibs still in effect, though!

Here is mine. I picked it up used, but in mint condition on the old BAM marketplace. I love it.

I was thinking I could have Paul do that for me.

On second thought, maybe I will just get him to sign one to me!

Smokeburst dc (once belonged to the originator of this thread) , swapped the p-90 s a few times and ended up with Tom Short Mini humbuckers. Love the pups.

 

[GBrux]

Man you guys are unreal. AWESOME Ted's. I have my first Ted coming from Willcutt Guitars today. A nice Goldtop. Pictures to follow.

Just saw this one. Love that idea. One of my favorite tones of all time was my 1980 LP Deluxe with mini hums. I bet this guitar can get that tone in spades.

 

[yankeebulldog]

Bump for my newest addition.

Swapped out the 57/08s for a set of uncovered 59/09s.

 

[t.shamone]

Willcutt Wood Library Ted.

 

[MA Pete]

Awesome additions, Alan and Tony!!

 

[MA Pete]

Looks like I have neglected to post my last three!!

The Jade Glow PS DC Ted, 100% true to the Ted formula, Santana Headstock and all, my favorite yet. Has the Piezo as well.

The new Beach Crossfade DC 245, a different thing going on tonally with a Maple Neck and an Ebony Board. Still great, though!

The DC 245 Trem with a Rosewood Neck, this one is AWESOME!! Tonally amazing, love the look and feel of the Rosewood Neck on this one.

Long live the Ted!!
