Yes - don't take any of Roo's comments personally.  We all know he owns a pink paisley Telecaster.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear you've a tumour in your left eye and have heart problems. I am a cancer research scientist, and am committed to finding treatments for all types of this truly horrible illness.  

But my 'caps lock' plea was not for your benefit, but for the benefit of readers of your posts! It's genuinely really difficult to read with upper case words all over the place - as though you're SHOUTING every other WORD... Kind of makes you sound like a lunatic! By the way, this has nothing to do with either grammar or spelling (neither of which I passed comment on, by the way - and normally I might).

I don't actually look at post count. Welcome to the forums :)

(PS I don't mind strats, LPs, SGs, most guitar shapes, in fact, though I have no need of any of these. Just hate the tele shape with a vengeance. I have never - in caps, NEVER - seen a picture or video or player in real life playing one who didn't look like a tw@t, so don't take it personally :))

come on Roo, he looks like a really cool guy:

For the record, I do not live in a yellow submarine, and while I don't mind frogs, I think it's pointless to sing to them, unless they're particularly sad. And if that were the case, I'm sure they'd prefer some nice meshuggah.

On the plus side, shobet, at least it's not my money being wasted on those monstrosities. But it is very often reasonable tone wood which is being wasted, and I must object to that!

Hold on, you play hardcore dropped tuned to Z. You wouldn't know tone even if it bit you on the arse. ;)

hatew to say it but my wife knows the value of each piece and was looking at Vintage guitar last night to see what their values are today

but no claims in the white 61 vette I just posted a pic of!!!! The 48 harley was just sold.

But I am sure you will be very happy with the amps that are left or since you too enjoy a tele nown then you can ask her about them but the 56 gets burried with me since it was my first but that 71 Custom and 72 DELUXE are heaven !!!!

PURE heaven !!!!

St james

The amps and the car will do I suppose.

In the mean time to you have many more pictures of the Tele's, I for one would like to see more Tele action! I'm sure Roo secretly does as well. I suspect he has pictures of Telecasters on his pyjamas.

SHOOBUT,That CUSTOM SHOP 52 HOT ROD is sweet........is it a 1 piece body>>>?????

St James

The nocaster is a very light 2 piece body just under 6lbs with the strap according to my scales. I love the neck on it as well, it's huge. I think I could beat someone to death with it.

She's real purdy and spanks like a professional dominatrix!

Anyway - back to the OP - Brian I should just point out, that if you want aftermarket pickups that work with the S1 you should ask the manufacturer (such as Tim) to make it S1 compatible - it needs an extra wire from the neck pickup.

I think the Baja is the bang for the bucks. Throw in BG50's or '52's and, big authentic tele-tone, which is an absolutely unique tone. Amen!
