Nice! Always good to see a Tele be more than it can be.

I carry the guitar sickness like everyone else here, so if I ever do sell I'll keep you in mind!

"Guitars will get you through times of no money better
than money will get you through times of no guitars"

Nice! Can I use that quote when my father starts ranting at me about my guitar addiction and the fact that I haven't saved any money???

 

[shagga]

Wow, that guitar is absolutely awesome! LOVE the connection of a Firebird and a Telecaster!

I'd like to see W. offer this as an option! :cool01:

You could kinda fudge it by setting up a router sled to carve away the top quarter inch of a mahogany body on either side of the center strip.
