My name is Angier Crawford II and I live in Sulphur Springs, TX - thats on I30 half-way between Dallas and Texarkana (1.5 hour each way).
I built my first partscaster this past year and I play it every Sunday at church - it just goes to show how loving the people at my church are (that they let me play).

Its a three tone sunburst flame-maple veneer over solid swamp ash with gold hardware. I had a fender lic. maple neck on it and USA Fender overwound pickups, but I just recently got a Musickraft tilt back neck (because it was cheep and still a Musickraft) with rosewood fretboard.
I'm going to drop in a Fender 62 re-issue (the overwound was just a bit too hot for me) in the bridge and I've ordered a GFS Mephis for the neck.

I have some/most of the parts for three other parts casters (probably have to sell some) and 2 frankenstrats (oh and 1 strat I fixing and one Jay Turser LP Im fixing)

I am a guitar nut and I don't know how my wife puts up with it.

Speaking of which, the things of most value to me in this world is my beautiful wife and two lovely daughters.

Now if I can just figure out how to score an epi-dot...

Oh, and since I discovered this site I've been lurking - about 6 months.
I just want to say thanks to everyone on here - some of the most helpful posts I've ever seen. I've spent hours and hours reading advice and projects - the $100 Tele (that was a gruesome contest) the emerald caster and the teisco-tele thing- amazing. Are tele players just naturally more DIY than others? Then again guitarist in general seem to want to tinker with their gear.

Anyway again, thanks!

Angier

Hi Crawford, I'm new too. This is my first reply. I've been doing a little lurking for a while just to sample the tasty pics of the most beautiful guitar known to man. Good luck with your partscaster. I hope its all you need it to be....Bill

Welcome Angier (could you write that out phonetically for me, I've never heard that name).
I almost took a side trip up to Sulphur Springs once to try to visit the Mossman Guitar factory there. Are they still there? Have you been?

Angierc · November 8th, 2009, 04:31 PM

Anjer - I tell people if they forget my nam just say "And you're?" - the way most people prounce that phrase with it all run together it comes very close.

Mossman is still here. I talked to those guys maybe 15 years ago or longer, and I have just recently been thinking of re-establishing connections.

Maybe we could work together somehow. I produce electrics that compliment their acoustics? They are fantastic luthiers - but you allready know that.

Angierc · November 8th, 2009, 04:35 PM

BTW: Angier is a very old family name - its French in origin, though to the best of my knowlege I've not a drop of French blood in my lineage (everything else though).

Usually a sur-name in France it was long long ago originaly a first name (think hundreds of yesrs ago) and translates roughly "Spear of God". Maybe I should name my guitars "Spear" or "SOG" - ok maybe not that last.

And don't forget the Austrailians! I would have never thought there'd be so much interest in Teles there.
