I want to create a replica. Could someone help me? Maybe we can make a tutorial to create the same guitar.
This model was a Fender American Telecaster HH, which now is out of production.

A similar model is the Fender Blacktop Telecaster HH, which also has a low price (around 500$).

You can find all the stickers on internet I suppose: "death to the pixies" is avaiable on ebay, for the X is possible to use electrical tape...But no ideas about "Holiday" & "EW" stickers. I don't really know where is possible to find them. Any suggestion?

As Jeremy told me, it's customized with only one pickup, one volume knob and a top-mounted output jack. Did he use a particular type of pickup or the original?

You can also see Blacktop tele HH has a different neck. Is possible to buy and install another neck who is more similar to dercyk's? Any suggestion?

Check your PM's, I sent you some instructions.

Also, the necks are the same. Both are maple necks with rosewood fretboards. It only looks different in the picture, but in real life it is the same.

Which Hard Rock was that at? I went to the one at Universal Studios in Florida this past weekend, but the only Sum 41 memoribelia was a picture of Deryck and it showed the date of the Sum 41 concert there. Then again it was with a big group so we were in the stage area, not the actual restaurant.

1. Get a pile of wood in the garden.
2. Set fire to said pile.
3. Place guitar on top.

That's more or less what happened to the Squier

Can anybody get the video of that? I want to see that, again.

I don't want to offense anyone, but I don't understand why people want to make a replica. In my opinion stickers is something you add on your guitar to show your creativity and your personnality... so if you have a guitar and you want to costumize it, you'd better bring your own ideas. It's my opinion, I know it's maybe not the place to discuss about it...

I agree. Maybe this user already has a guitar with their own stickers and added their own things to suit their style, and they just felt like taking another guitar and making it a replica of another. I dunno. I would only do it if I had multiple ones. Derycks guitars are pretty awesome anyway, so why not? haha.

It's more of a tribute thing..

You wear Sum 41 shirts, don't you?
It's the same thing

You mean shirts that the Sums wear, or shirts that say Sum 41? Because having a Whibley-replica telecaster and a telecaster which says Whibley are two different things.

It's the same thing

Excluding Stevo, who has done it since last year, the band itself doesn't wear those shirts, so no, it's not the same thing.

To wear clothes like the band member do, that would be the same thing.

I think both of those make sense. Especially if you're wearing the same clothing, doing everything else like the members aswell as having the exact same guitar. It's what some fans do, I suppose. Tribute of not. It's sort of being made out to be a bad thing, and it's not really. Some people go too far with that stuff though.

[Gregorovich]

I made a f*ck doll of Cone. Is that too far?

[Jake]

Did I mention that the whibley tele is shite?

[lisaNL]

I wanted to buy a deryck tele but I didn't cause I heard that it sucks xD

[Eneru]

Man, I don't pretend you understand me. I just tell you, when I saw Deryck's guitar for the first time it was in 2002, and I thought that it was simply amazing. Today, after 9 years, my idea is the same. I simply love his guitar...
Maybe in the 99% of the cases I would agree with you, but this is an exception for me. And I see that many users have the same idea, here and on youtube's video of Jeremy.
In the end if today exist the Official Deryck's Squier there must be a reason. We just want to create a tutorial, so if somebody has a different idea just quit the topic please.


Jeremy, as always, thank you for your help!
Are you sure about the Seymour Duncan? I mean, it seems that he always uses the Seymour Duncan. He has also on his current guitar!
About the neck: Yeah I see it's the same. Both are maple necks with rosewood fretboards as you said, but I was talkin about the color. Deryck's one is more brown, the other one is really more darker. I searched on ebay, but all I've found are neck which cost around 300$...
