Location: Michigan | I just relieved some GAS today on a guitar that I just had to have for the last year and could not pull the trigger on until this afternoon.
Sorry it is not an Ovation but I have to brag to someone about it.
It is a natural finish Made in Mexico Fender Thinline 1972 Re-Issue Telecaster.
What fantastic playing action and great sound from the two Humbucking Pickups.It is already 4 hours old and everything still works on it .
I am going to have a GREAT WEEKEND and I hope that all of you do the same.Sorry don't know how to post pictures here.
SLIPKID,, Paul Huber is smiling again tonight. GWB |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I've had a couple of those over the years, and really liked them once I got them set up. The pickups aren't as good or distinctive as the original Seth Lover design BUT they are good enough. It's a versatile guitar that covers a lot of styles, and is also light and very comfortable to play. Good choice, imho. |

Location: Michigan | Hey Roger I got a strat last year and they are the cats ass, but for me I do have to say that I like the playability of the telecaster much more .The strat does have a wider range of sound plugged in .
I cant wait in about 45 minutes , Moma leaves to get her hair done and I go into the basement and turn on my Hot Rod Deville let the tubes warm up and hold onto your hats neighbors , that Wannabee guitar guy is getting crazy again.GWB |

My Mom sez that he is the only one of the Stones that still looks good.
Of course, he looked like he was dead 40 years ago, and he hasn't changed a bit.
Maybe he was dead 40 years ago, which is why he hasn't changed a bit.
Nice Guitar tho' |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | The one famous as 'Keef's' guitar is the 72 Tele Custom, which isn't a semi-hollow. Same pickups, but wired like a Les Paul, not a Tele.
BTW, I like the accessories shown by the guitar in the picture above. |

Location: Michigan | Well I gotta TEL-E you guys & gals that after 40 hours of having this TELECASTER , the wife is onto me when I TEL-E her that Im going into the other room so I can use the TEL-E .
She seems to think that I have really lost my mind over another guitar.
I just have to TEL-E her thats not true.
Would any of my other club memebers TEL-E her that I will be OK soon after the GAS wears off?
Someone suggested running naked in deep snow and starting myself on fire , but I have neighbors and they would TEL-E everybody including the COPS.
Where I live if I tried a stunt like that ,
the TEL-E vision stations would be all over this story.
I personally think that I need someone to TEL-E me where I can find a good guitar Therapist. GWB. |
