I've always wanted a Telecaster, a Les Paul and a Rickenbacker 4001. I've got a Les Paul replica and that's as close as I'll ever get.

Specs please Denth. Mex/USA, etc. Looks good though! I would love to own a Tele, nearly bought a Nashville a few years ago, but got the Strato instead for versatility (IMO!). But i'd still love a Tele if i ever had the spare cash. And a Fender Jag!!

[texasmr2]

I purchased this beauty.

Very nice .

Just stopping in to say howdy and add to the thread that today I finished my state certifications for 'armed security' work. One can never have enough qualifications in any area imo and I will be returning to my previous 'law enforcement' position after the first of the year.

I hope everyone is well,
Gregg

'62 Telecaster Custom Reissue, Made in Japan. The neck is beyond amazing.

I've always wanted a Jag, and nearly bought one instead of this, but I worry that with my preference for brighter amps the 1M pots on the lead circuit would be less than pleasant.

^ Congrats, Gregg.

Well done, Gregg! Don't be a stranger!

Denthul, how much did you pay for that unique guitar, if it's not a secret?

£400.

[vlad]

Hmmm, I say, that was a great bargain.

[Denthúl]

Yep. Considering a MIM Standard retails for about £10 less than I paid for this...I'd say so! My one minor gripe is that it seems to have come from a smokey environment, but to be honest that just gives it that old blues club feel.

[vlad]

LOL, that means the guitar is good and it was played on her.
Blues, you bet!

So tex shows up yesterday out of the blue and this is in the news today? I don't believe it's merely a coincidence.

Big Tex, the Texas State Fair icon, destroyed by fire
Big Tex, the 52-foot talking cowboy that has welcomed visitors to the Texas State Fair for 60 years, was destroyed today by a fire, The Dallas Morning News reports.

The newspaper quotes fair spokeswoman Sue Gooding as saying the fire began with smoke pouring from Big Tex's neck, indicating that the fire was electrical in nature.

"It's a very sad day for all fairgoers," she says. "It's a sad way to end the fair."

Only Big Tex's hands, Dickies belt buckle and skeletal structure were left of the iconic figure.

Full Story

So you have a Vox amp or something? You can always change the pots to 250k in a Jag anyway, not that it matters to you now i guess

I'm not surpised about the neck being so good, i love Fender necks too. I think the 60's neck are a bit thinner as well, something i prefer personally too.

Speaking of amps i'm after a Fender Super Champ at some point. Not pure valve but very, very good for the money. Better than my current main amp - a Smokey (google it if you haven't heard of them!!)

Smokey!

I've not had a Vox, but in the past I've had two Laneys (VC15 and Lionheart, which were both pretty bright), a Champ 600 and a Valve Jr. (although that wasn't too bad). I would really love an AC15 or a Night Train though, would be good fun.
