A Tele, Jazzmaster and Strat '62/'63 relics in the making. The blue JM is a Fiat car color for my friend Craig in Washington. Leo Fender always used car colors for his custom line. The Tele will be a Blind Faith guitar with a Strat neck. (Check out their Hyde Park concert on YouTube- Clapton kills it!). The strat will have a 7.25 radius rosewood neck for my buddy Garrett... Happy Father's day everyone (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBt7r0vAt1o/?igshid=1vt598h2ym68j

Laying out my 1961 Musicmaster all original parts build. Traded a cool strat just for the neck ! Body has yellow dye getting it ready for that cool maroon sunburst Fender did on these beauties. Hendrix, Rory Gallager, Walter Becker, Michael Bloomfield all played these small 3/4 sized Duos and MM's (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/rorysrelics/p/BwgAQDig6oZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=okm9cayh9oq

My 1957 relic Tele build with a THICK "V" Maple 71/4 radius neck. Translucent white lacquer on a 2 piece Ash body with nice even grain. Alnico 2 pickups and single line Klusons. What a trip to play this baseball bat sized neck.... Arpeggios are super fun to play and bending notes aren't! This guitar is soooo resonant with its thin finish and combo of woods. This one goes to London tomorrow, tele ho! Made like they used to be...Rory's Relics.

I've had this pair of teles for over 25 years. The Rosewood I got in high school. It's a 1974 and came with that cool Dimarzio when I got it from guitar center in SF. I made the "Sky" tele in the late 80's when Performace guitars were in Hollywood. My 1st build! Weird how they are like photo opposites.

A new Mary Kaye! Light Ash body I finished in translucent white lacquer, gold hardware, some hand wound Brandonwound vintage pickups and a sweet 7.25 radius V neck..all how they did in 1957. I think I have a new fav strat- this thing is unreal!

Tele Tuesday! L to R: "The Swede" custom Pine with white translucent finish and chunky strat neck for my buddy Seth Pettersen. "Pinkerton" '62 Shell Pink Relic. "Elephant Jam" tele with wood from Sri Lanka, short scale neck for my good friend Ben. Black/maple is the world's lightest Tele- custom made from cedar with a 22 fret super V custom neck. All nitro finish so you can feel and hear the wood and all with alnico pick ups (mostly AVRI)..making them all sound unique and ripping! Rory's Relics made the way they used to be.. www.rorysrelics.com
