Svet Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 and it isn't for me! Hey guys, I just bought a MIM Telecaster for a friend of mine. He is going to be my best man in my forthcoming wedding and today is also his birthday. He is the one responsible for getting me into guitar all those years ago. He has since stopped playing for the most part so I hope to give back the gift he once gave me. Playing the guitar is my escape from the daily routine and it helps me relax. I hope this guitar renews his passion and gets him back into the game! This morning I threw on some new strings and gave it a good setup. I hope he likes it and it really is a nice guitar. See pics below: BTW, he’s a Fender guy and always wanted a Tele, else a EPi LP would have been purchased.
Red 333 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 That's a very thoughtful and meaningful gift, given your history together. I hope it brings him hours of enjoyment! When are your nupitals, soon? You'll have to let us know, so we can send you congratulations and good wishes. Red 333
brianh Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 That's a really nice looking tele, what a lucky guy. Where did you get it?
captmidnight Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Very nice Svet...now a question, need another grooms man for the wedding? I would take an Epi for my gift..LOL Capt
z-clay Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 A very thoughtful gift he can enjoy forever and hopefully pass it and the story down to his family. Very Cool!
RaSTuS Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Svet, mate, buddy, pal (lick, lick, kiss, kiss), fantastic gesture.
Gordy01 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Great gift Svet!! I hope that the new guitar renews his desire to play. That would be the best part of giving this gift. And Congrats on your upcoming wedding.
Svet Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Hey guys, he really loved the guitar! It was an awesome feeling giving a gift like that. Hey Spud, that Squire sure looks nice, I hadn't know of those and the store I went to didn't have any that I'm aware of. Thanks for the well wishes and I'm getting married in two weeks.
clarkuss Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Lovely idea! Very nice story and good luck with getting hitched!
Bender 4 Life Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Best wishes Svet...........you did real good! Thats exactly the way my Tele started life.
