MOAR PHOTOS !!!!!

fender paint in this time period is known to do this. i doubt its a re-fin. if you do a little research on the Fender Lead series guitars of the time period most of them have the same cracklez

I remember reading somewhere that that problem was with only on color of paint (black i think) and that they had already seen the the problem by the next year and had fixed it. I also thought it was a problem that only occurred with Lead series guitars though I could very well be wrong.

Finally got around to shooting a decent pic of my AVRI Jazzmaster

Nah im not a fan of pearl on Tele's, and not a fan odf gren pearl in general

But, to each his own.

1984 greco mint collection les paul copy. currently my favorite.

bubbles has joined me in the dark side.

is that one of the ones with the kahler trem? so bad ass.

yeah, stock kahler. i don't have the arm, so i only use it for the fine tuners.

I just love the idea of a les paul with a trem. does it go through the back?

50s or 60s style neck?

pickups are...?

That Greco picture makes me sad. I know I can't justify or afford one but I'd be surprised if I got through 2009 without buying one.

no, it's top-loading. i don't know what type of neck, i'm a dunce with gibsons. the pickups are fralins, it would've originally had dry 82s, but i got it cheap with no electronics.

and james, you can totally justify it. my greco is seriously one of the nicest and best-playing guitars i've ever played. it puts just about every gibson i've played to shame. i already want to buy another, probably an es-175 type. but, that'll have to wait a while.

Love all my Teles

Strat and Stealth Duo

SELL ME SADIE DOUCHE TOO MANY TELES

EDIT: PLUS ROSEWOOD IS TOO MUCH DARKNESS IN THAT PIC

you just want more rosewood
you can't handle it, face it

Dear Haze,

Stop posting pics of your amazing white Tele. It fills me with envy and makes me hate you.

Sincerely,
Ends

Re: Jazz Bass

I've got some new strings for it and I've never been happier with a guitar I own. My only problem is the guage is so heavy it hurts to play for too long. The set I had on it were the black ones that were complained about previously. I'm not certain but I think they're Fenders and they're nylon tapewound. I actually thought the new set would be black too but they're a standard silver colour and much smoother. Here's a closeup of the two strings for comparison.



And now some before and after shots. I've changed the knobs and pickguard, added a thumbrest and covers and changed the strings. I think I'm done now. I might try the black guard again at some point but aside from some slightly scrackly electronics there's nothing I feel needs to be improved.

James, that bass has gone from drab to amazing. Nice work.
