Looking for a "power tele"

[acromarmot]

Ok, here is my question:

I'm looking for a flexible slightly different T-style electric.
I want a flat fingerboard (12" or more), 2 passive humbuckers,
an "untreated" neck if possible, that means no glossy varnish on it
but wax, oil or satin.
The part should first and foremost be easy and fast to play, metal shred resistant, but at the same time tonally flexible so that it can serve as a main guitar. Budget under 1000€. The guitar will be played on a tweaked BE-100 clone.

On the list so far is
- Chapman ML-3 modern Bea Mensis
- Charvel Joe Duplantier Pro Mod SD Style 2
- Fender Custom Telecaster FMT HH AM IL (though I'm not sure how the
neck finish is done)

What is your opinion and or experience with any of these guitars? Do you have any other candidates that meet the specs?

Thanks in advance,
acromarmot

You could do worse than take a look at a Fender Modern Player Telecaster+....mine on the left. Also available in trans charcoal black. Nashville 3 pickup set up with a tapped humbucker in the bridge position. I swapped mine out for a Gibson 498T. This is a very versatile and powerful Tele excellent build quality (made in China). Only paid 225 GBP slightly used for mine (2011 model).
The neck IS laquered, but you could strip and oil it if you didn't like it.

Sounds like you should custom order some Warmoth parts and build your own!

Wasn't there an 80s Charvel MIJ Model-something like that?

i wouldnt give this tard a damn dime.

 

[junk notes]

Does it need to have a whammy? If not, Fender's Richie Kotzen Tele. (w/mini humbuckers)

 

[ricksdisconnected]

look at a John5 model.

Or call a local luthier that would love to build it for you!

THIS is the best way to get custom specs like yours in your budget.
Anything off the rack will be a list of compromises and regrets.

Why so (briefly)? Is there anything I missed?

Thought about that as my brother in law built a nice parts caster (strat model). But I'm afraid it will not fit the budget with customs fees etc. (I'm living in Germany, forgot to mention that).

OK, think I need to calculate precise as to find out if it will fit the budget. Thx.

in the past both in England and here in the USA.

A member here lives in Austria @GuitarIV and has a custom guitar builder he highly recommends.

Though I'm not a Tele guy the 1st one I'd go for if I was looking for a tele for metal I would go for the Schecter PT Sun Valley Super Shredder. It's HH w/ 22 fret satin neck 14" radius and FR. The seafoam green is pretty cool looking IMHO.

 

[DirtySteve]

I built my own using Warmoth custom parts. Mahogany body with roasted maple cap and all the comfort cuts, Wenge neck (requires no finish) with straight 12" radius.
