Excellent. Can't see what the guitar looks like on playback, anyways.
A guitar that makes you just want to play is a better inspiration than looks, any day. My wife is missing her 3 front teeth (car crash relicing) and she's the most beautiful person ever, a real inspiration and lucky to have...
Not an uncommon issue. If the neck pocket is off, remove a bit from the offending side or corner (chisel, sandpaper) and use shims on the SIDE to adjust the neck into place and keep it there. DO NOT fill and re-drill screw holes for the neck, slack tolerances and humidity make that work...
Congrats for getting the Super, they were originally designed to be paired with a Telecaster. I have a '62 Super with the original 2x10 Oxford speakers and everything else unmolested, must of sat in a closet for some time. Was my dream amp for years, too, finally found one about 7 years ago and...
Finally, Fee Waybill's guitar has made it as a political philosophy, it's about time. Then, of course, there is the fine art of customization and relic-ing... Does that count?
I've owned my '85 MIJ Tele since new and initally, I wasn't too happy with the pups, so I swapped them out. About a year after the swap, I realised that my Tele still sounded like I was playing through an "overcast" day...ie, not particularly focused and always dancing around the tone in my...
I was playing my LP at a local dump one night when I broke my last string and no spares...either guitar or strings. I ran over to the other side of the stage and reluctantly picked up the other guitar player's Tele to finish the set.
I had never played a Tele before this night and swore up and...
I'm happy to see that you play/listen with your ears/feel to find a good git. My favourite over my G, F and M gits, is my $47, 70's El Degas copy of a 70's Strat, which plays, feels and sounds like love. It totally inspires me. One doesn't need to spend $1,000's for a killer guitar.
You don't...
Broke a string at a gig and no spare, other player let me use his 2nd git, a '68 Tele that he hated. For me it was my first time playing one and i just loved it. 10 years later I returned a stupid multi fx/preamp junk I bought at a small music store in town and he had 2 things that I took for...
Bedroom Queen!! I thought it would be uglier than Brother Kurt's T
The thing with those dents though, is that they are the first chapter of the story of your Tele.
Dave Farrell gigged his Music Man bass for some time after some on-stage modifications. I think it could use a little bit off the...
In keeping with the spirit of the OP's post, no photos will be published.
My Tele is uglier than the op's because I say so.
Maybe it's time for fugly Tele lines.
My Tele is so ugly...
My camera breaks whenever I try to photograph it.
It only records the wrong notes.
I have to hold it at...
The Midnight Shift
Helped pay my way through first year university, my first gigging band. My friend's band was later named
"Life After 5". Seems to be a theme going on here...
Here we are, just be careful of the throngs rushing the stage!
By chance, about a year ago I found a set of pure vintage '65s super-cheap, so I stuck them into the ol' girl and was floored. This Strat never sounded so good, I always thought that this git was a bit of a dog, but with these new pups in there, it's a completely new animal now and among my...
I was a live sound technician who opened up my first studio in 1982, before digital was financially accessible. I've recorded on every medium except for etching on a rock with acid. I love the sound of analog, but hate the farging around wasting time keeping everything calibrated before each...
H4n. Simple, sounds great, good battery life, screws to a photo tripod, WAV. Love the price! This unt replaced a van full of 60 lb Ampex 2 track, mic, preamps, cables galore, tool kit, extension cords... one button record, that impressed me right off the bat. With the quality of products out...
I gave up on pedals for many years and played git plugged straight into amp, pure sound, add f/x later. Then I discovered cheap pedals, dusted off my old ones and started using them again.
Cheap pedals allow me to experiment without breaking the bank (have you seen the price of an RE-201...

Pete Townsend. Purely a rhythm guitar player, just ask him.
