You must be psychic to put La Cabronita up for sale when I have precisely NO money!! Whoever buys that bad boy will have a lot of fun!

Whoops - sorry mate!
I'll admit, I'm a bit torn about selling it. I had it made as I wanted a cost-effective (and obtainable!) version of one of the limited edition Fender Esquires that Ian Price owned. As it turned out, I ended up buying Ian's off him when he wanted to switch to a Strat, so "La Cabronita" has been used sparingly since. Same with the other guitars too, they're just not getting used and I want to buy some non-music stuff with the proceeds.

I'd be all over that McCarty Korina if I didn't already have one. :(
Even though it probably makes little or no difference to the sound, I do wish mine was a one-piece.

Me too. Apart from the already have one part (and only if I had the money!)

Can't see that video in work, but I do remember it! :D

:lol:
It's great watching Seconds Out, and wondering what the back-stories are (both on the sellers side, and the effect the post has on everyone)... and here we have a back-story coming out in the open!
Luckily I'm immune at the moment... That korina looks damn fine, but it just doesn't look right for me... the Wez is so very "oo la la", but I've got too many teles already, even if they ain't got a TV Jones in, and I'm afraid I'm not too keen on sparkly for myself... and so it goes .... :lol:
The only things that have caused the slightest shudder for me recently are:
Philly's Mira - especially as he's near enough for me to actually try the fecking thing... but what could it do for me that I can't achieve already with several gits that are set-up, tuned, and out on their stands ready to rock even as we speak (an SG, an LP, and couple of teles) - I've gotta be sensible here... :lol:
IronBeast's Boss MBR - that's an absolute steal at £60. All you need do is download the manual and steal your missus's (or someone's) camera USB cable, and you're up to speed. Recommended mods are - apart from a Boss power supply, why-o-why didn't they include it (OK, it's bigger than the thing, but still...) - get a bigger SD card, and one of they USB card reader thingies (the USB from the machine is way too slow).
Someone has to get the MBR and start tw@tting about with it - you will not be sorry :)... I'm almost tempted to get it as a reserve myself, in case the other conks out... but, again, I have to be sensible...
-
I'm going to resort to selling my body to the night for La Cabronita - I want it so bad! I've never even play it but I just know it is right!

And one of the girls at work said it'd bring out the colour of my eyes beautifully.

oh, and if anyone is struggling to find the pickup model on the TV jones website... this is a pickup i had from early in the TV jones company life
i guess he had to stop calling them filtertrons - which is odd since he makes some of them for gretsch you would think they would let him off :? The equivilent model now is called the TV classic plus
-
It IS right - it's a cracking guitar! Everything I currently own is a cracker, which has made it hard to decide what to sell. I've gone on what doesn't get grabbed that often, for no particular reason. I guess I just have a preference to some over others.
EDIT: Cheers for that Wez, and sorry it's up for sale :( Hope you're not too offended!
-
How about if we all chip in and get it for, er, someone we all know and love deeply and sincerely...
...you know ...
... Someone who's already got a Wez-built guitar, and obviously needs a back-up of equal quality...

You're welcome to try it Andy (although you might be alarmed by the state of my flat :| ).
But you're right in the sense of "what does it do that something else doesn't". Soundwise, it basically sits right in-between the Mira X (which I love to pieces) and McCarty Korina, and I prefer the slightly fatter 22-fret necks on those two. So it really has to go.
I'd be interested in La Cabronita for sure, but I already have a pile of Warmoth Tele bodies and necks, one of which will have a TV Jones (neck) pickup eventually.
Hope they all sell! :D

Yeah, maybe it's not such an amusing notion after all! :lol:
-
If I get my lottery win...I'm buying that in a heartbeat
DAMN! it's was only a tenner
-
I've saved the picture as the wallpaper on my girlfriends laptop - hopefully it will grow on her and I can convince her that it would be good for us to have a sparkly guitar - Dave, I'll be in touch if she says yes
-
Good luck with the sale Dave!

Cheers mate! For those who are wondering where the proceeds are going, the first thing that sells buys Mrs Twinfan a DSLR camera :)
The PRS sale will fund a nice watch for me that I've got my eye on :D
-
Wow, a watch for that kind of money? I've never even considered buying an expensive watch. :)

You have mental problems - a guitar for a watch? Your mobile tells the time for you!!!!

he don't like my meshuggahtastic photoshop of a flying V I did!!! perhaps his tastes have changed!!!
-
Whats more annoying is, I could afford the Wez. IF i wasn't saving for a car i desperately need for work.
Your timing is impeccable TF! :P

picture of the SG1 is broke :(
i think la cabronita is a cool axe, i considered picking it up briefly, but its not my style really!

Fixed!

He'd argue a lot and say some really low words, but when he put the hands on the neck, the silence would break in....
The first lick, well, it would be eternal!

Lick of the tongue? Oh yes, I think so.
