Good to see you all again, and sorry I had to leave to catch my train.  Mrs Twinfan was also pretty bored by 7pm as everything had closed  :lol:

I really liked Feline's Korina V, some nice touches and excellent build quality/attention to detail.  I would swap the VHIIs out for something a bit 'thicker' sounding personally, but otherwise it was a great gee-tar  :)

Was good to meet some new faces yesterday - highlights for me were gwEms strat, great neck by Wez and lovely pickups, Dave's fano - I didn't give it enough time at yours Dave, and Afghans obvious love for all things tele. You need to get one mate!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Really liked the Fano, the Feline V, Ian's Esquire and gwEm's JM (with a much nicer Highway 1 neck than the one I bought  :( ).  Of course I was in my natural habitat with the Gunslinger (even without the leather strides).  :wink:

I thought Mark's Tele sounded great with the Holy Diver, although presumably the specially-tuned ventilation holes also play their part!

Really great to see you all again and meet others for the first time!

Kinda like a Scientologist meeting, I've been effectively re-programmed:

:x "MUST OWN A TELE" "MUST OWN A TELE" "TELEs MAKES DAVE HAPPY"  :x   

badgermark's "HOLEY TELE" is grrrrreat fun  (though you need arms of an orangutan to use his strap) :lol: :lol: Ian's Top Bound Tele is a thing of rare beauty with one hell of a pickup.

As always though, I really enjoyed the beer and a chat moments.

We might all spend a bit too much time on the internet but we still can manage the odd face to face gathering without too many tears. 

Finally -

As no one has done it yet I feel this important task fall on my shoulders... Oi Ben (Denim n leather)!

I've been pricing Squier Classic Vibe Telecasters and the BG-1400 Lead Stack for Tele as found in CS 50s Top Bound Esquire...

Wonder where I got that idea?  PDT_038

Good isn't it? That's a hell of a lot more resistance than I can muster in the face of the this whole "Tele Cult"  :?

Oh yes but it would be rude to point you in that direction on this board.. Google my friend.

I feel cheated. Mine weighed in at a wimpy 28.4k!
