I don't have a tele

Yet.

Can I still hang out with y'all?

MY BIO:

I'm just a lowly strat player with too much credit card debt that spends too much time playing and not enough time working. I play a lefty strat with a MIM body, took the rosewood neck off a MIM righty, put a callaham lefty bridge on it (had to dowel it and re-drill because MIM spacing is different than the callaham bridge spacing.) then threw some kinman woodstock pups in it. Play the whole Frankenstein straight into a 18w that I built myself. (A trinity 18w sIII layout, basically a TMB with some tweaks)

Sure, come on in and join the conversations. Welcome to TDPRI.

You hang out here and it will be very soon that you find yourself out Tele shopping. It just kinda works that way.

Welcome aboard.

Hello, a strat player can't be tottaly wrong, you just have to remove a pup, the whammy bar, the upper cutaway, and it'll be allright.:roll: Wecome!!

Welcome aboard! You'll like it here.

Any pics of your gear?

Enjoy! :smile:

Yeah, we'll let you in - you get credit for building your own amp!

Hehe I've had tele fever for over a year... something about that debt keeps holding me back... Problem with being a southpaw is I cant just get a CV tele or something... So then I'm up around $600 for a decent lefty and I'm thinking, you know what, it'll take me 6 months to save that, and for that money, why not give ron kirn a call? it's only a thousand bucks more, right!? Why not?


So my first tele is likely a year away, but it will be so worth it.

BTW; I like your linux tele. :cool:

You know what I don't have any; I'll take some on Sunday for Y'all. It would be nice. I'd do it tonight but I'm afraid I'll be trick or treating all weekend.

I played nothing but a Japanese Tele, with a humbucker in the bridge position, a whammy bar, and a grand piano black finish for something like 15 years (see my avatar). It was a beautiful guitar when I bought it but beat to death by the end. It passed away like an old dog and I had to lay it to rest. So I went out to buy a new guitar. I thought "I have been playing a Tele for so long. Maybe it's time for a change." I actually got a deal on an American Standard Ash Strat AND a "Best of Class" Gibson Nighthawk at a great price from a music store that was closing and it was their last day. It was a great deal and I was smart but I have been hungry for another Tele ever since. So to take the edge off I went out and bought a placebo, a $200 yellow Squire Tele. I LOVE that guitar. I use it all the time. While you could argue it's not the same thing, and I will get the real deal someday, I have to say; do what you will to my Strat or my Hawk but nobody better touch my placebo!
