La Cabronita MUCHO Especial!!! - Page 2

imsilly · November 23rd, 2009, 08:23 PM

congratulations, that is a very special guitar.

Combination of two Godly things, Filtertrons and a Telecaster.

These things will be very collectible I my opinion.

irishtele · November 23rd, 2009, 08:44 PM

Looks great! Im so jealous!!

That guitar must have been really nice before it all got so beat up!

Nope. Not if you are speaking Franglais.

Your not Crazy, Your just one lucky guy

I was looking at this TV Jones bridge for a build ala Cabron.

But I'll probably go with a brass version of this

and a set of pin stripes

XKnight · November 23rd, 2009, 09:43 PM

Congrats, but why did you get all upset and take a chisel to gouge the back like that.

nvilletele · November 23rd, 2009, 09:49 PM

I think you had better send this one back . . . looks like you got one with a broken pickguard . . . sheesh, you'd think even Fender's quality control woulda picked that one up . . . .

Congrats again - though you may be the "Limey," it's all of us that are green (with envy).

Nice! Congrats BBB.

Tim Armstrong · November 23rd, 2009, 10:15 PM

How appropriate that YOU won such a photogenic guitar!

I played it for a few minutes at Paul's house in October, and all I can say is that thing is PROFOUNDLY great! Congrats!!!!

That's exactly what I wanted to suggest...

Well, only until I am able to come visit my bro and play that sucker.

You know, I just KNEW I was going to win that thing. I just felt it.

Shows what I know, eh!

I like the 3 saddle idea. To me, it just needs that. The modern bridge isn't bad, but it feels a little too "technical" on a guitar that is really a stripped-down, rock guitar.

Scott Auld · November 24th, 2009, 10:30 AM

Hey British, congrats on winning. That is such a freakish yet cool guitar. The control plate on the back of the guitar makes me twitch, it's so odd / yet / cool.

I would too. I don't like compensated saddles though, I'd use straight bars, but yeah that would be a good switch.

LOL x 100 and very true.

Congrats again BBB :)

garymaddox · November 24th, 2009, 12:34 PM

Great pics! I wouldn't mod it though, even though that is a really cool bridge. The bridge it came with needs some good honest hand wear. I am really happy for you.

Thanks!

That bridge is milled stainless steel - it ain't wearing for no amount of use...

I'm gonna leave it just as it is for now I think, it sounds fantastic and it's mostly me and my illogical love of the three saddle bridge that made me think of swapping it (it's purely an aesthetic thing really). Who knows, maybe I will one day, maybe I won't. Not sure yet...

Stuco · November 30th, 2009, 04:35 PM

Friggin' beautiful guitar, you are so dang lucky! I'd leave the bridge as is, that guitar is 1 off custom (afaik) and shouldn't be modified imo. I realize it can be put back but still.

thinline4fatty · November 30th, 2009, 04:46 PM

Beauty! And that first photo you took is stunning.

Tidepoolbay · November 30th, 2009, 04:56 PM

Mut bueno!

BritishBluesBoy · December 7th, 2009, 05:43 PM

A quick update:

I figured I'd try that Glendale hardtail bridge after all, and guess what?? It didn't fit anyway so this guitar is staying just as it is and Glendale get their bridge back!

Just thought I'd share that.

Paulie13 · December 7th, 2009, 06:12 PM

Simply awesome man. Thats great! I would leave it as is.

Bigugh · December 7th, 2009, 08:16 PM

Way. Too. Cool. Congrats!
