A brand new life to my Thinline Custom Telecaster

[Jipes***]

I am torn between liking it and not quite understanding why you did it. Your friend did a great job, no question, but I think laquer changes, no matter how bad they are, are part of an instrument's history. Of course you may dislike them visually, but somehow you also deprive the instrument of something, if you know what I mean. All the geeks talking about even that effect - old nitro laquer peels off, etc. However, the guitar still looks awesome. Man, how I love them 78 Thinlines...Those 70's breeds are way underrated.

I perfectly know what you mean Jimi and I'm aware of the possible drawback of upgrading such a vintage instrument but I really don't care it's my Number 1 and I don't intend to sell that one in any ways so I prefer to have the best sounding guitar rather than a collectible but less playable instrument (The neck was anyway refretted 'cause the original Frets were down the neck)

Plausible explanation my friend.
