i definitely like the teles the most too.
if you could make any changes or adjustments to the eddie cochran-ish tele, what would it be? i'm considering building that one the most.

On the Cochran, I would got one of those short Tele bridges, and put a Dyna in the rear position.

Here's a pic of the bridge I'm talking about...

I'd be wanting that tele in any of the three versions you've showed. That doesn't help you much though does it. Unless you build one, decide you'd rather have one of the other versions, then I'll take it

The Cochran tele needs a G-brand for sure!

Or should that be F brand??
