Congrats Tone!
I guess there is some twang going on in Albuquerque these days (or whatever the spelling is)...
I hope you dont make miss les paula jealous
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Twang-a-licious!
Wow. She shore is a purty lil' thang. And you weren't kidding when you said she was cherry. It's really an awesome-looking guitar.
I also concur with Kat's observations on the trusty Telecaster. It's truly a workhorse guitar, even while being very basic in design / features. Or, as the saying goes: it's got everything you need, and nuthin' you don't.
Again, welcome to the family, Tone.

Damn that is one fine guitar! I wanted always wanted Muddy Tele, but now I'm DYING to get one thanks to you! Man that axe is 10x nicer looking in the pictures you took vs. the ones on Fender's website.Originally Posted by tone2thebone
Thank you for posting the pix... I think!?!

Those Squiers sure do have nice finishes on them. Thats a good lookin' Tele, Robert. I've always been partial to the Tortoise Shell PGs, too. Did that come with the guitar or was it an add on?

It's 100% stock! I think it looks nice. Many people prefer a white pickguard for this kind of sunburst, but not me.

Nice Robert! I don't normally like sunbursts since they are so common, but yours looks killer!

A lot of great looking Tele's there, guys. I won't bother posting a pic of my son's B&C, 'cuz it looks just like Trem's.
I'm surprised about one thing--nobody here has "the" classic (to my mind) Tele color combo....butterscotch with a black pickguard??? Thought for sure I'd see one of those....
Hey, Warren--if you're lurkin' out there, how about posting a pic of that purty blue one of yours!?! I really like that Agave Blue color!

I know, I know....
But it's a Tele-type, LOL. Doesn't really sound anything like a Telecaster with the bridge bucker etc., but I've found that I can use the single-coil model on my RP-80 and roll the volume knob back and it's a pretty close approximation.
I would REALLY, REALLY like to get my hands on the Waylon Jennings signature model, but haven't seen them around for a year or so. In the meantime, this little number will have to do.
Just a little Tums for my GAS

Thanks Robert , as i've posted before its real hard to beat the japanese fenders for build quality and attention to detail , anyone looking for a killer quality guitar for reasonable money should realy check out the japanese fenders , unfortunately they are no longer sold in north america so they have to be imported from japan or bought on the used market .. I've bought from a couple of japanese shops and their customer service is amazing , and shipping from japan to my door in 3 days for about 120.00 cdn .. if anyone wants the addies of these shops let me know .. i've actually sold lots of the guitars i've brought in to local guys. there is no doubt that the higher end japanese stuff is vastly superior to the mexican made fenders , great bang for the buck ...6S9L

Thanks dudes , Fender Japan knocked that one outta the park , its so accurate in every detail its amazing , right down to the use of slotted screws for the pickguard , neck bolts , control plate ,string tree,strap buttons and tuners and bridge , its finished in nitro too ..the wood grain is perfect and the neck is like butter .. it came from the factory with US FENDER texas specials which i like with the maple neck , just a note , I've had a 62 re-issue tele with a rosewood board and texas specials which i found too dark sounding and have noted the same with the strats that have rosewood necks and texas specials , but with a maple neck the texas specials are the bomb, lottsa growl and edge .. ..CHEERS 6S9L
