That time Gibson made a really ugly and shit Telecaster
Maple fretboard. Hideous and completely unnecessary Tele pickguard. Single coils. Gibson Nighthawk Bridge 'modified for string through body operation'. Ugly straplocks. Ugly everything!

They are, but I have have them on my SG. They're actually solid as feck and although a mission to initially attach to your strap, they hold well.bbrunskill wrote: Ugly straplocks.

I like the idea, (I wrote a post about this but it disappeared somehow) I would like to try it - apart from the scratch guard.
Maple board, les paul with a b bender. Interesting.
but then again I am not a normal tele owner - I have lil59s in my maple board tele anyway.

A Les Paul is just a telecaster with curves and buckers....
