Newbie in Mexico sez hi y'all!!!

hey guys, greetings from sunny Puebla, Mexico!
my name is pat, and i'm a gear-a-holic. i'm a 29 year old (young?) swiss, living and happily married in mexico, with my 1st daughter on my way (due next month... or any day now!!! oh man)

having a bit of (too much) free time here at work (P.R. and translator at the german school) i found this wonderful forum. i hope you guys won't be too tough on me

ok enough about me... here's my pair of tele beauties, which i love and play hard!



worn down-to-the-bone '73 (terrible refin) tele deluxe and '82 52RI tele. seems both of them have gone thru hell and back. they have details but i like 'em just like that.

plus, i have another loving surprise on its way, but only to own for a short time (more of that later...): an original Sahara Taupe telecaster!!!

ok gotta jump over to my other job (german/english teacher... well yeah, the baby's gotta have something to eat *sigh*)

rock on, nice to be here. cheers!

Pat.

Hi Pat,

Welcome! I'm new here too. Those are some nice guitars, especially the Deluxe. I just bought a Deluxe Reissue today (http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaste...ew-member.html) and really like it. :)

Welcome Pat.

How could we be too tough on you with a sweet pair of Teles like that?

Enjoy man, this is a nice place.

Actually he was there five years ago for a semester 'abroad' from Notre Dame when he met and fell in love with a local girl. So we're all headed that way for the wedding - looking forward to it! (once I get over the airfare shock )

Welcome and congratulations on the upcoming new addition to the family. Nice teles too!

I have been to Puebla a couple times this past year visiting customers, VW and RASSINI Frenos. Haven't seen much of the town except the Tuesday (I think?) market day crowd is different than anything I have seen in my neck of the woods.
