Haha, believe it or not I BOUGHT it like that. A self-styled "DIY luthier" scene bud, Shawn, built that axe and had lent it to his son (speaking of multi-generational stuff), who was in some horrible poseur aggro-emo-goth band, who proceeded to Townshend the eff outta it. Father and son had a falling out (to put it mildly) and the Tele made its way back to dad.Originally Posted by Tig
Black goes with everything.
Oh, and I know fiber is an important part of our diet, but do you hafta' chew on your guitars like that, Brian?
Shawn then contacted me when he ran out of dosh in the middle of a recording session, and offered to sell me the guitar for a Benjamin even. Given that the neck pup is a Seymour Duncan mini worth at least half that, I took him up on it, and then spent another fifty or so getting it playable and (somewhat more) presentable. It's not only indestructible, but since it's already beat to hell I can really swing it around with abandon. Last time it was gigged was an outdoor show in cold weather, about 4 months ago, where I had tuning fits with all my guitars. At one point in frustration I literally chucked that Tele off sidestage into the dirt, and it's none the worse for wear.
