Well Mike. You know, I think I am already past "need".
Seriously, when I set out on this new Telecaster mission of mine, I wanted the following:
* A fat tele for blues (Albert Collins)
* A tele for 5 string open G ('62 RI)
* A Bigsby Tele (Buck Owens)
* A Thinline (90s Thinline)
* An Esquire (?)
When I started, the Tux was going to be the Esquire. But as you know, it didn't end that way. Instead the Tux became the dream Tele. I know what the Esquire will be, but that is a bit down the line...
Now that I got what I wanted, I can experiment. So far I have sort of set my gadget limit this side of the bender. But hey, who knows. So excuse my ignorance: a Nashville West bender tele would be what? Is this the Clarence White tele? Sunburst with maple neck, I guess, and I believe I heard something about a Strat PU. But what hardware and PUs? I'd need a professional installation of the bender, I am sure.
Geir :)
