Big gear day for ol' LemonLess...Pics!

LemonLess · March 1st, 2008, 12:13 AM

Well, I ordered a Carvin K15 100W keyboard amp Monday, and it arrived today. Finally you can hear my synth above drums/guitars! Payday today as well, and I got the mail out from GC's sale - and theres a nifty 10% off coupon (for any one item) on the back. Payday + coupon, it doesnt matter that I just got a new piece of gear...Im going to guitar center. So I spend a while in there, and there was a lovely display of 8-10 teles that I kept getting pulled back too. I have been looking for a cream tele, and I ending up playing theirs...a lot. I fell in love. So I ask an employee if there are any in the back. There werent, but he said he would cut me a good deal on that one. I ended up paying $340 (plus tax) for the guitar, a nice padded gig bag, and a set of strings. Plus, he let me keep the coupon for another time, which will likely be next paycheck of course. Anyway enough talk, here are some pics. I couldnt resist a group shot.

This is my first tele and Im lovin it. I keep turning around and looking at it every couple minutes as I type this, haha.

Unrelated question: Is it fine to have amps stacked like that? >_>

Dig it.

JimiBryant · March 1st, 2008, 01:15 AM

nice!

is that an Epi LP?
pretty 'burst there.

LemonLess · March 1st, 2008, 01:20 AM

Its actually an Agile (from rondomusic.com). I got mine for $300 a few years ago, its a great guitar especially for the price.

And melle: Yes, I smelled it. And yes, it smells excellent

don't you dare take that white guard off. looks fantastic

mistermullens · March 1st, 2008, 09:27 AM

I've been wanting a white, possibly Standard Tele for a while. If I ever get one, I'll be putting a Blackguard on it and Vintage style 3-saddle bridge. Yours look great.

LemonLess · March 1st, 2008, 05:17 PM

Dont worry furrx3, Im keeping it all white. Its almost as fun looking at it as it is playing it, I now understand why so many people on here have huge tele collections.

Quick question about dating the guitar. The serial # starts with MZ7, do the guitars made last year have MZ6 on them? The guide in "resources" goes up to MZ5, which is 05-06. Just wondering if theres any way to tell if this is an 07 or an 08. Doesnt really matter but it would be cool to know.
