What's going on with the sides of the tele? Is it plastic? Rubber?

It's vinyl tape like on the old Danelectros.

I dig Specimen - I plan on taking guitar making classes there soon.

for some reasons i get emails from specimen for guitar workshops and stuff.
some of them sound incredibly retarded like
"spend a weekend with the pros learning to re-string properly"
a whole weekend of re-stringing guitars, woo.

I'd love to visit that workshop & that Indian Corn Tele is growing on me.
