Well, I ordered a Walnut Tele Deluxe from MF... 8)

Along with a new trem arm for my AVRI Jazzmaster and a couple extra Deluxe knobs.  The knobs were only $2.99, and I am going to put them on my MIM white Tele...

Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Thanks, Jerker!   :)

I've really been wanting some Wide Range Reissues, and now I'll have them! 

I'm going to start a new thread with pics once it gets here.

Hmm that looks really nice. Tele & CBS headstock =  murder weapon.

Congrats, Nolan. I wonder how long it will take you to have as many guitars as Jay...? :)

Hey Nolan. Are all your guitars Fenders?..
or did you just post a pic of only your fenders?

Cool...
I tend to stick with Gibson(and epiphone) and Fender(and Squier)
for the most part.. I had a jones on for a Double cutaway Gibson LP Special
with p90s this morning on CL.. I always loved those dang things.. but I think
its gonna be a bit small for me.. haha Another thing Id like to mention is
I find the neck really long on my Jazzmaster.. been sooo used to playing LPs
for the past 15 years, I didn't realize how long a "normal" neck was anymore..

STELLLA!!!!

;D ;D

I currently have my Stella tuned B to B, like a Baritone.  With standard tuning, the string tension is too high, and the top bows.  ::)

I've tried Gibsons and Epiphones, but I've never found one I really like.  I LOVE the look and sound of Casinos, but they feel so cheap to me. 

I do like Gretsches and Danos, though.  I played an Electromatic hollow body with a Bigsby, and it sounded great!  Played nicely, too.

Congratulations on the guitar purchase!!!  -Should be VERY cool!!!!!!

I don't "get" those knobs though...they've got the wrong numbering (silver font) and go to "zero" ???


The originals look like the amp knobs with white numbers and a flat metal center...and start at "1":

GUITAR SNOB ALERT!  ;D  You're quickly becoming one of us! 

Honestly, I bought the extra knobs for my MIM Standard to give it a little Muddy touch...
