Garlic Tele

Lucky it didn't smell like...

 

I don’t know that I’d mind a garlic-smelling guitar. Especially if it was my cooking project that made it smell that way.

 

When I was a kid I bought a brand new Kramer (aluminum neck with wood inlaid fingerboard). That day my mom cooked scallops. I did NOT touch any as I ate. Band practice that night...and the guitar smelled like fish for as long as I owned it.

 

Taco Bell?

 

No, but they're related...

 

You can play and ward off Vampires at the same time.

 

That's mojo you can't buy at Guitar Center!

I may try this myself.

 

LOL....... I have an old SF twin that doesn't get a lot of use anymore...but when I do fire it up, and get it good and warmed up, I can smell stale beer and cigerette smoke. No joke.
I haven't giged out regularly with it in ...maybe 15 years.
I think I'd rather have garlic.

 

Now you just need it to smell like grilled steak and roasted potatoes and you've got a Tele that plays like a meal.

 

Bought an old beat up Clapton strat a few years ago, guy who had it loved garlic, very strong odor emanating from the neck. The neck was pretty much shot anyway, so I replaced it with a Warmoth neck and trashed the old one. That took care of the odor, thank goodness. I love garlic but not on my guitar neck.

He had told me it wasn't the original neck anyway, he bought it on eBay. Have no idea what happened to the original. As a bonus, IMHO it plays much better with the Warmoth neck.

 

A bit of garlic can only improve things - love it

 

At least it wasn't durian.

 

I don't notice the smell at all .

 

I just quickly rinse and oil my Tele after cooking. Thinlines are more difficult. Hard to get all food food particles out, those f-holes are pain in the ass sometimes.

 

I make sure I use a high quality guitar polish in between meals.
