thanks for the heads up on the dead link... yeah it's Fiesta Red.

I see you're using PhotoBucket. All you have to do to post pictures is left click the IMG line below the thumbnail. Wait till you see the yellow "Copied' indicater then paste into the typing area.

Cole · May 6th, 2008, 11:30 AM

thanks... I actually intended to use the image link but used the wrong link instead. I discovered that in my photobucket link preferences I inadvertently hide the [IMG] link. Let's test it....

Cool it works! For those of you that noticed I have a right handed bridge on this guitar, the answer is yes. Another lefty strung righty I'm afraid...

Nice lefty Teles guys.

Very nice. Makes a very welcome change from looking at the usual lefty colours i.e. sunburst, black etc.

Where do you get your parts from ?

I'm in Ireland and hens teeth are more common place than lefty Tele parts.

In particular I'm looking for an eight hole pearl pickguard for a '97 American Standard.

Thanks.
