Are any of you Telecaster lovers planning on attending the guitar show this weekend out in Elgin, Illinois (just west of Chicago)?

FYI...The advertisement for the show says you get two dollars off the admission price if you bring a guitar or amp with you to the show to sell or trade.

Drag a lightweight guitar around in a gigbag all day and save a couple bucks. ;)

So is this just for vintage guitars???

I've seen alot of scuttlebutt on amps and non-vintage gear.

Just curious!

Also, dude, how can one find your booth?

No, this show has new, used and vintage guitars, amps and accessories. It's a great place to buy, sell and trade. I'm not sure about Wild Rice Chris but I'll have a TDPRI member logo posted on our booth so members can stop by and say hello.

Hate I just noticed this thread as I would have liked to come out to the show. There seem to be a ton of these in the area. Thanks for the heads up, even if I was too distracted to see it.

Bah, now I have a choice. Go to Home Depot and then fix toilet, or go to guitar show... Hmm...

I am curious, which one did he buy. I played two of your guitars. The pine one was good, the blue one with the 4 way switch was really, really, really good. I kind of felt like I was meeting Paul Reed Smith in like 1983 or 84. That quasi tele was the best sounding tele I can recall playing in a long, long time.

Beat me to it, Rich! Indeed, that's my baby!

Sean, were you playing the beautiful blue Tele-esque with Chris backing you on bass?

I was the guy looking to trade my Parker and chatting up a storm with Rich!

In the realm of un-tasteful playing, here's me with your Tulip.

I think you captured what that guitar does exceptionally better than many others...

Play beautiful rhythm & fills/runs with excellent note articulation without separation.
