Wow, that is really, really cool. Too bad I can't get over the fact that it's a Sig model for a band I absolutely detest.
Same... All signature guitars need to have standard counterparts
Also this :D (Another signature -__-)

So it's not just Teles!  :lol:  Mosrite copies and Gretsches too.

I'd never heard of Shaun Morgan (although now I've Wiki'd him, I have heard of his band).  Quite like the look of his guitar though.

Wait, what?

Roo has (at least) two pet hates: Telecasters and Paul McCartney. 

Anyone who likes both is apparently deserving of the death penalty.....  :wink:

I want to see an Esquire Jazzmaster...Junior
I've always livethe shape of a Jazzmaster, imagine it with a P90 in the bridge :D

Off-Topic: I love Jonny Greenwood's guitar...
It's not a P90 but I did build this and I quite like it:



I do like Esquire wiring - single pickup but with a bit of variation.

Haha, maybe it would be more efficient if we assumed that Roo didn't like guitars in general? xD
Also I quite like the look of the bridge only Ibby RGs. (I have a 370DX RG that I'm not too happy with so this is probably just an illogical gas)
I wish they made an RG with a thicker neck, more rounded fretboard, and with a hardtail. My one suffers (only opinion of course. Stupid of me to buy a guitar such as that but it was the spur of the moment) from a weird "cardboardy" feeling from being a Floyd rose guitar and basswood lol... Need a good meaty slab of wood with a nice pickup(s)

Yeah that's quite unique, is it a Telemaster?
Oh and I have this urge for this. Totally illogical in my situation, but a heart wants what it will -_^

I agree!  Ibanez is a great brand but I've never owned one because so many of their models have those little toothpick necks.  I would still like to own an '80s Artist though, if I ever find one I like at the right price.

Off-topic, but I was looking at the Ibanez website the other day and saw that Paul Gilbert's Fireman actually has a proper beefy neck on it.  Costs a fortune though....

Sort of, it's my own take on it so it has a Strat headstock rather than a Tele and the Fender Telemasters have hidden pickups under the scratchplate which mine doesn't - just the single pickup and Esquire style wiring. This is a work in progress photo when I was doing the wiring:

That's a signature in the way a Les Paul is a signature

A single pickup Tenny is definately cool. But let me post another signature.
