2nd both Reece and Josh. Can't quite read the model on the amp, what is it? Also invest in some black pick up covers, it will make that stang so much lovelier.

Thanks Josh. I got the guitar and amp at the same time -- both used, in late '66.

And I have some new covers for the pups but haven't installed them yet.........Bill

That's just a badass picture. I love when a clean, well-lit room accentuates slick gear like that.

Why do you have two copies of Heat? Ahaha.

Is that the CP tele? Very nice, I've been lusting after one of those. Welcome aboard, too.

It is indeed. And what looks like a mid sixties Mustang. Get some robroe covers on them pickups, boyo.

Lovely amp, I've played one before.

I seem to remember buying a set of DVDs after already having 'Heat' in the collection. Or maybe it was a gift.

I always thought the background of that photo was distracting. It was just a quick shot taken after the CV Tele arrived......Bill

It's a nice piece. I have a minor setup issue -- the sixth string buzzing a little when using the first fret. It may be a high second fret (it's definitely high but not very). I'll get some new strings on it and do a complete setup before I declare it in need of fixing. I do like the guitar, it plays well, looks good, excellent attention to detail and can't beat the price without a big step-down in quality. Even the recent price increases didn't hurt it's bang-for-buck status too much. I got mine just before Fender upped the price $50. If you're looking for a nice Tele and don't feel the need to spend big $$$, this might be your guitar........Bill

Drilled out the bushings to accept the tuners and we're back in business. I love this neck. Expect to see this in rotation.

Mike's DS-II is EPICALLY beautiful. I never liked white/tort until I saw it.
