OK, I'm in .....

The guitar I'd like to own most would be my original Tele. I think it was a 60s-something (I bought it used) with that yellowy kind of solid finish, white pick guard, maple neck. Previous owner had put a Gibson PAF in the neck.

I loved it, and it was my Number 1. I used it on some sessions, and I still listen to those tracks from time to time .....

Sigh .......

Then, like an idiot (who knew, at the time?), I stripped off the finish to the ash underneath, put on a black pick guard, brass nut and bridge (hey, it was the 70s), high output pickups. Yikes.

Later sold it to help finance college, but got it back (total fluke) a few years later, then sold it again.

But if I could have it back in the same condition I first bought it in ......

Sigh .....

Cheers,
BK
