Nice pics

I always thought the "tan lines" were caused by heavy exposure to tar and nicotine, but apparently these blondes spend a lot of time at the beach too. The Fuller Tan! You must use a sunscreen with a higher SPF under the pickguard.

Wow-Cool!

I just put a page together yesterday showing these very same subjects!
Wow, talk about syncronicity! I posted it this morning on the Weber board, did you see it Peds? Well here it is for those that did not:




The famous "Gomez Contour" "Sweet Spot", or "Tadeo Taper" is perhaps one of the most beautiful and subtle aspects of the Fender Telecaster. Tadeo could have certainly left this area of the neck sharp, angular, and unforgiving, but instead he chose to craft and sand it in an unforgettable way. This is just one more aspect of early Telecasters that makes each one truly unique. Thanks for the beautiful, beautiful work you left us, Mr. Gomez!
Below is my take on the man's original plans:





These pics are from a 53 Replica I did, see it below:



The Fuller-Tan!
I love that Peds!

Thanks, Peds

My new USACG neck should be here soon, and I want to be sure it's as comfortable as it can be. Thanks for the pics!
