That Tele thing is pretty cool.
Already have some. But thank you for the offer!Quote:

From what little I can find, mine was a Japan only model. Curious that they didn’t put a different pick guard on to match the humbucker, I don’t think many were made.Quote:

Any MIJ Fender is worth $350 if it’s functional and intact. I regret selling a few MIJ instruments. That said, nothing with Fender on the headstock made after 1964 is really a unicorn. Maybe some odd custom shop stuff but mostly that stuff is just fancy inlay and gold hardware.
I am DEFINITELY not coordinated enough to make a b-bender not sound like ass…

Isn't 67 supposed to be a sweet year for fenders? I've never bothered to learn the ins and outs of guitars I'll never feel like aren't overvalued and will never owned but I feel like I've heard that.Quote:

And yea, I guess the two above pictured teles are cool and pretty similar. While the belly bevel isn't really that big of a deal in terms of playing or listening experience, it does seem like a crazy detail if done by the factory, something very uncommon. Not an option I've ever heard of.
I never thought it was crazy rare, but I certainly have never seen one in person.Quote:

Goddammit, I don’t know how to embed a YouTube video anymore, something changed with what parts to copy and put in brackets.
But this is the bbender sound I would like to play.

My fender branded made in indonesia FMT HH teles have the belly bevel, but I've never seen any other tele in person that does. i think a made in usa tele with humbuckers, arch top, belly bevel, and the set neck with the ergonomic shoulder would sell great but what do I know.Quote:

Thats wild, I had no idea about the byrds connection. I had never heard of this gizmo before. From thevideo, it appears you do not need extreme coordination, but in fact, can make itsound pretty good by just doing the whitest old guy dance moves possible with your guitar.Quote:

I say go for it.
Low wattage tubes are excellent for home usage. Only issue I have is that half my playing time is in such short durations that the tubes don’t get warm. For those times I like a solid state or modeling pedal with powered speakers.Quote:

pickgaurd afaik. Cool guitars, I tried to buy one myself a few years ago. Don’t see many on the used market around here which I assume means people like them.

Even though the neck is made in China, it still is the perfect shape for me, and resonates like a mother-fucker.
I wouldn’t mind finding a stock pick guard without the bridge plate cutaway, but I really like the pattern.
Nice - the ones you have look pretty flush with the tops of the saddles though which helps a lot. Is the neck shimmed at all?Quote:

I'm in the process of selling 4 guitars with Fender bridges.
I made a rule for myself about a year ago that I'd never pay over $1K for guitars any more. After years and hundreds of guitars, I've come to the conclusion that I sound how I sound, and an extra $2K doesn't help/hurt, so I just buy "budget" guitars these days. I can do a little modding to get the little tweaks I like - tuners, pickups, fretwork, setups, etc. - and still keep the cost down. I'm all digital as far as "amps" and stuff, so I find that they aren't as fussy about tone woods and such...
Meanwhile, here's my humble quiver.

Maybe, for a change, you should give an sg or a les paul a try.
At first i thouht you had much more overlap than you do, not realizing the same guitars were in multiple pictures.
Selling three Teles and a Strat - need any? ;)Quote:

I'm thinking Gibson is really after all the dentist Mags here at TGR. Their pricing has gone from ridiculous to "HUH?!?!?" :confused:
Teles on the block:

Pretty happy with it at the moment. Each has a reason to be. Still looking for a 6 string acoustic since I brought my old Washburn (first guitar 30+ years ago...sentimental value) up to the ski cabin. Looking for the right Martin if I ever come across it. PRS is my son's, small acoustic is my daughter's. Always wanted a Les Paul and like it for certain songs, but the 80's big head Japanese Strat gets the most playing time.

Very nice! The only Strat I've ever liked was my Deluxe Roadhouse Strat with the CBS headstock. Looks so cool...
I don't know, maybe. Do you have anything that maybe has a longer name?Quote:

Like real emotions like an actual human being. eSpecially when all the electronics seem to work and the fretboard is just unoticeably good, so that you forget what a fretboard even is and just play.
I also like soaking frozen mango chunks in my grey goose overnight with some patron citronge and key lime hence typois. I cam stoll play fine but not fype.
LOL…wut??
Whatis that on the right?Quote:

That looks really cool - it's like a Spark in pedal form. I'll bet that's great value for money.Quote:
