Wooo yeah - fine looking geetar there sir :D

Cheaper than the McGuires, eh? I looked at them ages ago and didn't really like... this one looks a lot nicer.

EDIT: Aha... misread you, NOT cheaper, but not much more neither :)

Couldn't see the LP Junior Philly mentioned on V&R (he musta bought it :lol:) - but there's a nice looking 50s strat on their site at the moment.

A little more expensive than a Nash, same price as the last McGuire I tried and a lot cheaper than the Fender Custom Shop, even secondhand CS.  It's simply the nicest Tele I've ever played, I love everything about it.  So much of this comes down to luck of course: finding the one absolute belter in the shop that fits your needs and this is the only Dubreuille I've played so I can't vouch for any of his other guitars but this one is pure win.  I'm semi-curious to find out what pickups/electrics are in it but it's so perfect as it is I'm reluctant to take a screwdriver to any part of it for now.

'Fraid not!  :lol:

Here's the Junior.  I think it must be sold, but I found an old link through Google:

That's one sexy Tele.

It's on my list to build one exactly like that (it's a very long list with no start date at the minute  :?) as that's my ideal one.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

Well if the copy for the LP is accurate it might well answer my question about the origin of the pickups in my guitar then, i.e. he makes his own.  That's a lovely Junior too by the way and I don't think it was in the shop when I was in.  Sorry, Philly.

Sorry for the threadnomancy but I've just added a clip in the Player's section. The guitar had BKP Flat 50/52s installed in it on Sunday and I'm loving them.

Dang nice relic work, my tele is getting on for 40 years old and it don't look that bad (meaning good)
