My guitars are little bit classier than yours.

Squier John 5 signature model. My favorite production Tele for under a grand, easily.

I had one of those first black MIJ Jaguar HH models years ago, couldn't get on with all the black and chrome. It reminded me of a Harley Davidson motorbike.

Nice collection though Shad, good to see a theme going for once.

There's also the Jaguar Bass, Marauder, and three more Telecasters in black with chrome bits. Although one tele and the Marauder have white pickguards, so I'm not sure they count for the theme.

My collection is increasingly looking very similar, what with my Royale, Jazzmaster and Gretsch bari. I'll take a family photo over the weekend.

It shows character.
Some folk collect shit because they read about it was cool, rather than going on their own personal taste. That bores me. I'd rather see someone build a collection along a theme or needs.

I dunno, you can't really go wrong with black.

Shad, you wear all black frequently as well?

I'm starting to understand where the 'shadow' moniker came from...

Black is great, but I wear too much black to play a black guitar. Itd look too emo/metalcore or whatever. I think more grey guitars should be made.Fiesta red and grey are my favorite colors for guitars.

If I wear a white shirt to school, my students always ask if I have a job interview or something.

Yo shad. Want to be my teacher. I gotta take chem again this year cuz I got dropped from the AP bio roster and chem is the 10th grade science class.
I really dont understand. I passed chem but I have to take it again and im never gonna take a bio class.

Talk to your school's Assistant Principal of Curriculum, tell them you already took chemistry. Likely, their requirements only say you have to take a certain amount of science classes with lab components and it doesn't matter which ones, but if you insist that you don't want to take chem again, they should be able to put you in the 9th grade science (I'm guessing it is biology or an integrated science like Physical Science or Earth Science?).

This crap happens all the time because the AP track is totally whack and incompatible with the Honors/Reg tracks at so many schools. We end up with hella seniors taking 9th grade classes.

I was thinking the tele had a custom guard, but it's the reflection of the Epiphone.
