Double bound family portrait (pic)

TeleGeir · August 12th, 2003, 02:09 PM

My two new teles has arrived, and here as requested is a picture of them all. As noted before, the Buck Owens is sadly up for sale, so it will be gone soon. I will post more pics of the new ones later.

If you want a bigger picture, there is one in the Telecaster Gallery:

I'm almost in tears...that's so beautiful....
The Tux really looks great in the middle of the pic. Sorry about the BO tough....

I don't remember the one at the left of the BO...can you tell us something about it? The grain looks great in the pic!

telemike · August 12th, 2003, 02:16 PM

WOW!

I can't believe you're selling the Buck-O after putting the Bigsby on! What hurts the most is that I've already bought a Buck-O...

boogaloo · August 12th, 2003, 02:28 PM

look well groomed and behaved (well...hopefully not too well behaved!) Very NICE! Now I'll go and be jealous alone somewhere....

calls out to me. Must resist...GAS....

That is beautiful. You have the best collection of non-vintage double-bounds I have ever seen. Keep it up.

I'm glad to see that 90s thinline. I heard about it, but didn't know it was the sunburst/pearloid model. Very nice.

Thanks Raymond! :D
The one between the BO and the Tux is a Custom Shop Albert Collins Signature, a '96 model. My favourite tele until the Tux arrived. Has a Seymour Duncan Custom humbucker and a Custom Shop bridge PU. Great guitar, just missing a Quad Reverb. 8)

Well, I had to sell a couple, to stay on the right side of that fine line between healthy GAS and bankruptcy. Of course I could sell another, but now that I have the Alan Hamel silver sparkle it made sense. (Wonder how that one would look with a Bigsby.

)

Also, I can always get another Buck Owens. I am sure they will pop up on eBay quite frequently over the next gew years. That is the main reason I decided to sell that one and the '62RI.

The Buck Owens will hopefully fetch between 1000-1500 locally. I'll have to pay a commission to my dealer if he sells it for me, but still I will come up ahead, even including the Bigsby. So that is one good thing about the strong Norwegian currency and our inflated prices on new guitars.

Actually, Dave, it wasn't. I have another one, held ransom in the US by a friend who wants me to come over and pick it up. That would be this here sunset orange beauty:

Speaking of which... when will you start collecting amps to do justice to this splendid collection of double bound beauties? E.g. drip edge silverface Fenders...

Great idea. I wouldn't mind starting with this setup:

I'm afraid the QF was too late for the drip edge
