Title: Week of the guitar
Post by: Jazz Rock on January 27, 2008, 11:48:17 AM
And it is ending in a beautiful way.

After the MQ and Mule for my Gibson LP on Monday... a brand new Telecaster on Saturday. Check out the pics. I wasn't a big fan of sunburst, even less with white guard but this one is really growing on me. Not that I had much of a choice it was one of the few last 07 tele the Guitarguitar from Edinburgh has in stock.

It plays really well and sounds great unplugged though. I pent some time playing yesterday afternoon, plugged in the Laney and the FOD. I think there is masses of potential here, I just need to tweak until I find the sweet spots.

Jee it is exciting!

The cap on the Epi can't possibly be Birdseye can it?  It is spectacular!

The cap isn't birdseye, it is just a veneer, which I have seen tonight, taking the pups out, is very, very thin. There is a crack in the veneer around one of the screw of the bridge pup ring. But it does the trick, it looks fantastic.

BTW, Anybody interested about my new Tele? :wink: It was the theme of the thread... Who would have thought the Epi would gain more interest??? :D

Best looking Tele ever  :D

I'm not a Tele fan, but one of those has even made me consider spending some money before  :wink:
