So that afternoon westtexasred mulls things over for a while, taking into consideration what Benecol has said....

Comes home that evening with a real mint '52 Tele under his arm.

Poorly matched wood does not always mean shit quality and sound. I think it makes it more unique

Ovation guitars ≠ Maestro guitars.

And I'd argue that, while not necessarily the end of the world, it does show a certain attention to detail. Also, you have to be very forthright in these threads or else WTR will just go ahead and buy it.

WTR, Maestro never made any good guitars. Even the fuzz pedal they're best associated with (whisper it) isn't actually that good. You're pissing in the wind.

You LIW'd?

The headstock script on that Tele should be enough to scare anyone away, never mind the bodybutt.

i dont think keith had that because it was good, i think he had it just b/c he wanted fuzz.
