As a huge Clash fan I`d never buy the relic Tele , it seems completely against the Clash and Strummer`s punk ethos , quite a few years back I bought a Tele after a lunch time sesh in the pub and sanded the custard yellow finish off virtually destroying any value the guitar had , I did`nt care though it was exactly what i wanted, a workhorse guitar that i was`nt bothered about being abused . Anyway i`m off now to go shopping for a willie nelson relic .
