Saying bye to one of the fiddles... But what to do with the cash?

I'm gonna start by telling you what I'm selling:
Epiphone G-400SG for £210.

Now, I currently have a Fender Telecaster, MIM standard, the 2011 60th Anniv. model. I also have a good amp and quality pedals.

So what improvements could I make to the Tele with that money?


(Happy 100th post to me!)

Pair of Bare Knuckle pickups. You could spend the remaining 70 quid on booze :smile:

Well if you're opposed to sending it to me in the name of international goodwill between our two nations then I would suggest pickup upgrades. :mrgreen:

You might look at Keystones or NoCasters in the MIM if it's sporting Ceramics and you don't care for them.

Is the 2011 anniversary model a NoCaster? I thought Fender just started marketing a 2012 anniversary model. Do those people celebrate the 60th anniversary of something ever year. I've got a 2006 anniversary model to commemorate the beginning of FMIC even though they hadn't even built and electric guitar then except a lap steel.

Those boys like to celebrate a lot!

PS: Happy 100th.

Lessons - that's what I'd do myself.

I think this specific anniversary is to celebrate the start of Telecaster ;-)

LOL, probably and I wonder what the next anniversary will be? 60 year anniversary of the 62 Jazz Bass or Custom Tele's in 2012 or the modern PBass body in 2016 ? haha. Like I said before Fender seems to celebrate more anniversaries than Elizabeth Taylor did. :mrgreen:

Let us know what you decide to do with the spare coin from your sale. Sounds like maybe the MIM could use some upgrades if you wish. I have a 95 MIM and I actually like the Alnico V's in it but I'm thinking of putting a P90 in the neck just for giggles and grins.

I've got Nocasters in two others and Keystones in a CVC so maybe a P90 takes that MIM in just a little different direction

I would say save the money until GAS overtakes you.

Should take about a day on this forum!
