I completely disagree. If The Beatles' appeal was limited to those who witnessed them in their early days, they WOULD be a fad, since only that generations would appreciate them.

The truth is quite the opposite- there's something about them that transcends generations, and many other social boundaries as well.

I'm not saying they didn't have a huge impact in the 60s, but that's only one small piece of what they are.

What's so great about the Telecaster? We've seen threads like that before, and they're much the same- you can list attributes that you like, but there are always other guitars that have the same features, but still lack the mojo.

To steal George's line, there's just "something" about them. ]]> Bad Dog Cafe Tarnisher http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bad-dog-cafe/186527-why-beatles-great.html Fender Blues Deville fuse blow problem http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-central-station/186539-fender-blues-deville-fuse-blow-problem.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:41:14 GMT I also should have mentioned that he is Irish and hopefully the "Emerald Isle" gods will smile on both him and the amp...!

Left is right and Right is a closed thread.

We need to stick with generalities to keep the discussion alive.

My point is that if a person's decision to join the "green team" is expressly for perception by others in public, but then that same person pours used engine oil in the field behind his house when no one is looking, I find that to be morally reprehensible.

I'm talking out of my butt here, but the way I see it, as far as modern production guitars, there are two catagories. The Pro who sees the instrument as a tool, and thinks nothing about forking over 2k or more for the tools of his/her livelyhood. -And thinks nothing of changing those tools to meet their needs.

Then there are the enthusiasts. The amateurs. The ones that worship the gear beyond it's value as a tool. They are infatuated with the instrument itself just as much or often more than actually playing it. They also might see it's pricetag and see it more as a luxury item, a status symbol, they've always longed for a guitar on that level. Whereas a Pro has always had and always will have gear on that level. Its their tool. I believe when a pro finally does have a strong, loyal connection with a particular guitar, it's probably out of experience with the instrument, not the cost of the instrument.

And yes, I'm certainly in the amateur category. If I would have won the Grand Prize for the TDPRI drawing I would have REALLY wanted to add a neck pickup and put some sort of half sized pickguard on it (clear with metallic paint underneath, Gretsch style). BUT seeing it's a Custom Shop, and I'll never own a Custom Shop, I would have been way to chicken to do any permanent mods to a $4000 guitar, especially one that is part of a limited run. So there you have it. Its all perspective of the user.

I think in the second category of amateur there might be the need for more purchases, ongoing mods (vs. initial one time approach) and yes "lawyer guitars" as I once heard PRS guitars referred to...and with respect to Teles and in self-contradiction a kind of misguided sense of purism.

I think overall the pros are less obsessed about gear more focused on playing. ]]> Telecaster Discussion Forum Ortho http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-discussion-forum/186413-what-point-did-becoem-unacceptable-mod-american-guitars.html <![CDATA[Silvertone Twin Twelve 1484 for '72 Princeton Reverb?]]> http://www.tdpri.com/forum/amp-central-station/186546-silvertone-twin-twelve-1484-72-princeton-reverb.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:38:26 GMT I have heard a Twin Twelve that was completely gone thru and it did sound very good.
