Logging On...

Howdy. Just logged on for the first time. If I can help, clear up anything, etc., please don't hesitate to ask.
Somebody sent me a link, and I have not looked around here much and I apologize.

Best,

If you ever want to gather opinions on relics & roadworns, you found the place.
Great to have an official expert.

Thanks, I know that there are lots of opinions! Is there a discussion about the Relic/Roadworn thang? Like I said, I'm new to this page.

Thanks!

Mike

A warm welcome to the TDPRI from my corner of the world (Germany that is) as well.
Great to have Fender folks on this board who can clear up rumors, join in on all things Tele and maybe show us a thing or two from the vault!
Cheers,
Sascha

Welcome to the forum Mike!

A lot of great members and fans of the Fender's to network with here.

I'm sure you'll be called on to address some topics.

Oh, there's been plenty... with strong feelings on both sides of the fence. I'm sure someone will dredge up a few for you.

the whole thing reminds me of when jeans came into fashion... cowboys and ranch kids preferred new and stiff... besides the thicket resistance, they didn't want to be perceived as "poor" in town. Everyone else couldn't wait to get them soft and faded.

Hey Mike. Welcome to the group. This is a great place.

There's no shortage of opinions here and no shortage of folks willing to share 'em. Hang on for the ride!

Welcome Mike!

Oh, you bet your life we have a spirited conversation going here somewhere about the Road Worn series!

We look forward to pestering you, I mean consulting you, on a wide variety of all things Fender.

Enjoy the ride!

Mike,

You are most welcome here!

No, not any forums designated for Relics (yet). Perhaps soon, probably a good idea to have a cyber-fence between the lovers and haters, if you know what I mean.

LOVE the CS Youtube stuff, I could look at that stuff all day.

Keep up the good work!
