Oh, and Mrs Twinfan would want to be rescued by Jensen Ackles from the TV series Supernatural....


Ah, but has he ever played a fireman?

God, I can't stand that programme!  I love horror movies, but horror/supernatural TV series are always totally non-scary and waste far too much time on the characters' boring personal lives.  :x

I did see the Ackles chap in My Bloody Valentine 3-D.  The ladies may like him but he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag!  :P

Yep .... there's something about Teles.  My first 'real' guitar was a 1966 (not pre CBS unfortunately) white tele which I had to beg my parents to let me buy under a HP agreement. I use to keep it under the bed and if I woke up in the night I used to get it out the case just to look at it (yes I know...very sad). I painstakingly made a black pickguard for it out of a black floor tile in the hope I might be able to sound vaguely like Jeff Beck.... and before you ask, no it doesn't work  :lol:

It's the interplay between him and his brother in the series that's great.

Oh, and the babes they bump into  ;)

No, that's what I can't stand!  It's getting to the point where I can't watch any American TV shows, they're all empty jibber-jabber, flashy camera work, paper-thin plots and actors who look like Ken and Barbie.  No substance whatsoever.

Yeh but Supernatural has the IMPALA!

And great music.

And it's pretty funny to boot.

I wish I was as cool as Dean Winchester.
GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!

Funnily enough, I'm also reaching the conclusion that one of my teles is the one I'd save from the conflagration.

It should be the strat, it really should be, it might still be... but my black custom is kicking the @rse of every other guitar in the building.

That Tele looks awesome! Even though I am a Strat man myself I've always loved the look and sound of a Tele.

Did you catch the one where he did the "Eye Of The Tiger" thing?  Classic!

I can't remember that one???  I liked the Back To The Future and Hammer Horror episodes of the latest series though!

..Tele's are fecking fantastic  :D

I've just been noddling around on my 'distinctive' (ahem) relic through my Martamp Deluxe, and I don't care if:

* it makes me attractive to men
* the bulbous bit causes offence to hobbits
* I pull stupid sex faces when I'm gigging

If I can only grab one guitar as the house is burning down, I'm getting more and more convinced that this is what I'd rush to save.

So to Roo, up yours!



Would look cool if you'd swing it lower, like badgermark does, need a long strap for that ...

That was utterly brilliant. I love Supernatural. Normally, it's just me and the Doris watching it on Sky+. Nice to know other people like it too!

Dave does use pretty long straps!  When I tried his PRS at the London meet it was dangling round my knees.

Maybe that's because you have short feet :O)

I looked at the pic first thing I thought was "I'm sure Dave hangs his guitars a bit lower than that!!!"
