Took the neck pickup out of the Classic Vibe and "Esquired" it

It wears a white guard sometimes

As if I havent got enough, I got a Squier Affinity Butterscotch Tele very cheap the other day. Plan to do some mods to this one too, when I get around to it.

So true! It's strange. If he said that it was a "Danocaster" reliced Tele, I'd probably say "that's so fake looking! The wear is overdone!" but it's real! :o

This picture should put an end to any "poly finishes don't wear with age as well as Nitro finishes" arguments. :D

I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.

Some gorgeous old Teles. I can never forget how much I love mine. Tele Customs have been my ideal guitar for decades and I keep coming back to them. Here's my main one for the past ten years or so from last Saturday night.
