It shows that Les Paul is a great Jazz guitarist but not a visionary guitar designer - after all the Les Paul is just a clunky solid body version of a cr@ppy £20 1940s Jazzers arch top with only 1 sound.  Give me a telecaster or, the difference between the Neanderthal (Gibson Les Paul) and Homo Sapien Sapien (Fender Stratocaster) any day.   

I'd rather be a Neanderthal (Les Paul) than Homo erectus (Telecaster) tbh...

[(Where did you get the Less Pull decal, incidentally?)

you never mentioned a Gibbon decal... that might have been quite cool if my own vanity hadnt insisted on my own initials being on the headstock

I'll put one in the bag with the tailpieces!! I'll drop you a couple of Fecker's in there too - perhaps Roo would like a 'Testicaster' :lol:

I wish I could think of a word that looks like Fender and means something to me, so I could get it put on a decal.  I don't want to get something random just for the sake of it - it would be almost like getting a tattoo that didn't mean anything.

You could get Fielder in the Fender script and then have the name be wcocaster (or even W Caster!).  I think Glen does anything you want.

I hadn't considered a WC Fields theme, good idea!  :)

In The Bank Dick he plays a character called Egbert Sousé, so I could have a Sousécaster!

And I'd forgotten, but in International House his character is Prof. Henry R. Quail, which is my surname - same spelling too.

Yawn.  :roll:  :lol:

Anyway, it's for a Strat, not a Tele, I thought you were OK with Strats.

But that reminded me - anyone remember the Bender Distortocaster and Jellycaster?
