I've never really considered the Mexican made guitars before, but after this, I've certainly become a believer. You know I'm always looking for a Gibson to pick up on the cheap. Maybe even the right Epiphone. I like the idea of finding and fixing them up.

Thank you brotherman.

Thanks. The fretboard was covered with years of oily goo from playing and never cleaning it.

Here she is all clean and ready to rock, or twang. For roughly $150.00 I have a Made in Mexico Telecaster that sounds absolutely great. I'm very pleased.

So you can see it's missing a tuning key, a switch tip and knobs. It also has lots of chips in the paint. So for the money, it's a good buy for me. I went about replacing the stock tuning keys with Fender locking tuners ($60.00), two knobs ($10,00), I had an extra switch tip and a set of strings on hand and set about cleaning it up.

I went into a Pawn Shop a couple of days ago and picked up this 2002 Made in Mexico Telecaster for just $75.00. Check out the pictures and you'll see why. It's literally beat to schit and all boogered up. Boogered, I like that term.

Merry Christmas buddy.

Put me down for one Florentine model.

Wow... Another one. I was listening to Mississippi Queen just yesterday.

This was taken at sunset from Stearns Warf in Santa Barbara.

I'm happy with ya' Rabs.

Jingle jangle music through an old Vox amp.

Amazing.

I love my acoustic too. It's a Breedlove guitar with rosewood back and sides and a spruce top. Changing tunings on it is an exercise in patience sometimes, but I like playing in altered tunings, Open D, Open D minor, Open G.

I can't help but be happy when I watch this.

Thank you. They are very versatile guitars.

I remember exactly what I was doing when the word came over the radio. I was on my way to work. Kind of put a damper on my entire shift.

Telecasters are good guitars. So many classic riffs and lead parts, by some of the best guitarists, have been recorded with one. I actually own three of them. Thant's a good looking guitar RCT. Pick long and prosper with that!!!😊

I took this photo at 2:30 pm last Thursday afternoon at Avila Beach. It was so overcast, everything was gray.

7/4 And I am counting my bass and bass amp.

I like that photo above in black & white. Driving south on U.S. 101 there's a vista point along the Gaviota coast in Santa Barbara county. The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner rout goes right by here. There are many places along this stretch of the county with pristine beaches to explore, fish, and surf.

That’s funny!!!
