So instead of the Gretsch I traded for this tele plus $1000 and a cat. Just kidding I already had the cat.

Ooh very nice - I saw this over at HCEFX, but was waiting for you to post your news here. That's the tele I've always hankered after (and you've got a nice light one too); played one recently, though, and the neck wasn't as HUGE as I'd like. Very nice though.

Have your returned the Tele to GC yet?

Beginning to think everyday is a NGD for you!

Thanks! This one is really nice. I couldn't believe how light it was when I picked it up. This guitar must have been in closet for the past 9 years. I don't think it has been played much at all. It's great to find a used one with all the case candy,hang tabs and COA.

I wasn't asking because I thought it was a daft decision or anything... just curious, is all.

He'll probably sell it on in a week or two anyway!

I like that you wheel and deal these in and out of your life westtexasred... if only for selfish reasons, I enjoy the guitar porn. So I say "g'wan you mad ting".

I always thought the ideal setup was a Les Paul and a Tele... specifcally a '56 Gibson Les Paul and a '52 Telecaster.

When I see your tele and lester side by side it makes my hear melt a little.

Thanks man.It's good to know that there is at least one person on this forum that I don't annoy the fuck out of.

It is a thing of beauty,ain't it?

it is very nice and I know if I had the means (I don't mean cash, I mean access to such great guitars) then I might be tempted to do likewise until I hit upon the keepers.

what are you keeper guitars if you have any (you must have a couple)?

westex is one of the only reasons i still come to this forum. He keeps it real with the vintage/vintage flavored pauls and teles. Plus he makes me feel better about my GAS

I like westtexasred's avatar, and his beautiful guitar collection.
This telecaster is a beauty !

nothing wrong with being assertive about what you like/dislike... the fact that go thru so much means your meticously (fogive my sp).

That's a nice tele, what are you trading it for tomorrow?

This thread reminds me very much of the kind of crap guys give the dude who keeps hooking up with a succession of hot chicks.

Tex... it's time you met a nice Gretsch who can cook and clean... someone with a nice personality.
