its got a little 5mm? gap between the bottom of the neck and the pickguard, but you can barely even see it. the screw holes line up properly
It's a "Fender Special Run" '72 Telecaster Deluxe. So they're limited edition and pretty rare. I don't know how long they've been around for though. But it must've been sometime after 2004. Anyways, moral of the story is that that guitar kicks ass!Claudia wrote:WTF

OHHHHH, i thought you said you wanted to make a replica of the guitar in those newer (pre- UH, but newer) pics of sum playing with IGGY POP. its kinda yellowish with a white pickguard. i didnt realize you meant like mine but with just a different pickguardkevin5064 wrote:i'm not trying to make it like derycks completely. the white guitar with white pearloid shall be my own thing. i dont like plain white pickguards.goonday41 wrote:are sure that one guitar deryck plays had a pearloid pickgaurd and not just normal white?

No, in those pictures deryck is using his protoype squier, before they had made the actual white body, they used the one off this guitar for his protoype:SociallyInept wrote:Isn't it white with a white pickguard?goonday41 wrote:OHHHHH, i thought you said you wanted to make a replica of the guitar in those newer (pre- UH, but newer) pics of sum playing with IGGY POP. its kinda yellowish with a white pickguard. i didnt realize you meant like mine but with just a different pickguardkevin5064 wrote:i'm not trying to make it like derycks completely. the white guitar with white pearloid shall be my own thing. i dont like plain white pickguards.goonday41 wrote:are sure that one guitar deryck plays had a pearloid pickgaurd and not just normal white?
Thanks for that. I was thinking of changing the pot from a 250k to maybe 500k. But maybe 1meg sounds better.phoman wrote:hey. i have a suggestion for the dudes who modded their guitars. i think ur telecasters have 250k ohm pots in them. to give ur guitar a richer, brighter, "twangier" sound, replace them with 1meg ohm pots.
you cant have a tele without the "twang"! =D
I love this guitar !! moi aussi je l'aisJeremy wrote:Deryck's Guitar:
My Guitar:
Original Post:For anyone else who wants to make this replica, these are the things you will need:Basically I want to create my own authentic Deryck Whibley Signature Telecaster (aka the Telecaster he plays live... the deluxe). But I need to figure some things out first. Here are my questions:
1) What is the neck pickup? What is the bridge pickup?
2) The single knob he has on his guitar... is that just the volume knob?
I'm planning to get the '72 Fender Telecaster Deluxe and build with that. Questions concerning this are:
3) With the '72 Deluxe, can I just take out the pickup switch if I don't want it?
4) Can I take out the other 3 knobs if I don't want them as well?
5) How to I install an input/output jack on the pickguard like Deryck's?
If any questions were to be answered, the first and third would be high priority. Thanks in advance. I know this'll probably cost me a helluva lot of money, but I'm saving up!
