Karloff Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) New (to me) Tele day. got it 2 weeks ago. the red Tele on the left. a 2016 American Professional Ash body, Vmod pickups. great guitar. Edited April 9 by Karloff 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROWB8 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Love the line up. Pup wise, you have all the flavors. Does that have the contoured edges on the fret board? Nice snag sir! I have issues playin a strat. Some chords I use employ just the last three fingers at the nut position. So my hand is mostly below/past the nut. The way a strats head stock is shaped makes my first knuckle smash against head stock when flying from up the board to below the nut hand position. Teles have a slow curve head stock where the strats are a more abrupt curve. So with a Tele, I'm free to move about the cabin so to speak. 🙃 Edited April 9 by CROWB8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the VMod pickups. that Strat is '06 MIM Strat I picked up pretty cheap and I really like it. 100% stock. nice thick tone. it's weird showing up to a gig without a Gibson. doesn't happen very often 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right before I joined The Navy I saw an entire weekend stand at the Shoreline Amp. In Mountain View, CA. I would’ve see Jerry’s Band once after that and The real Dead two more times, then Jerry was gone. Edited April 9 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was in ‘85, right before the 16 year old girls decided it was cool to be seen at a Dead show in tie dye clothes. When the Dead are getting played regularly on the radio and on MTV, something is drastically wrong in the universe. Edited April 9 by Sgt.

I would normally post a photo of something other than puppies, but I had a stern warning from a Moderator or Admin over such things last year. Back-story. We were at a picnic in Germany one time, many years ago. It was a big German/American 'partnership day' featuring live music, cook-outs, and games. It was summer, so shorts, sneakers, and t-shirts was the dress code of the day. One of the Army housewives showed up and mingled with my crowd, and she was a real cutie. Kind of like Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island. Anyway, she had on a low cut blouse, and her tanned, attractive frontal features, sprinkled with freckles, were very much on display. My buddy, a Cobra pilot, remarked, "Ah, I see you are taking the speckled pups out for a walk in the sun today. I approve!" It was funny. Anyway, many decades later, I still think of those speckled pups, and I have to smile. 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) These things always turn out where everyone posts their telecasters. Let me be the first to say, "All I got is a red guitar, three chords, and the truth," Bono. Love the red telecasters. Love telecasters period. Can never have enough telecasters. Hence, everybody posting theirs. Not that that has happened yet. Again, beautiful. Edited April 11 by Californiaman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
