Now, just a minute. Dale is pouring the money back into developing new products. I mean, he has to eat, and sometimes the transmission on the truck has to be serviced, but he's not yachting on the Mediterranean, he's coming up with new and amazing ideas to make our guitars sound and look cool.
To the extent I can do it, I'm gonna buy things from guys like Dale, Bill, Tommy and Bill - because frankly a complete and ready to play Chinese made Tele clone is NOT gonna keep this forum alive and vibrant. You cannot let these guys die on the vine, because everybody talking about Peyton Manning or about the Devil Rays whilst all playing exactly the same guitar is ...... well, I'd rather take a nap.
I'll buy one of those truncated plates from Taipantone, but I wish it were, like the guitar designs, more feminine looking - too many sharp edges. And once I have the means to rout out the backs on some of these bodies, I will want some ferrule blocks, too. But Glendale has the stuff that goes right on my existing guitars right now and makes - bam - immediate improvement.
