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!)
I think I hate being indecisive.

: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

Blimey!  What would he do if we really did that?  :o
