Title: MY new guitar!!
Post by: SILVERGUN on April 19, 2017, 10:56:51 am
So it appears that spring has sprung and with it comes new love for some...
 
Here's my new #1
- Warmoth chambered body with comfort contours - flame maple on mahogany
- Warmoth unfinished maple 24 3/4" scale conversion neck with SS #6230 small frets
- Callaham bridge
- Seymour Duncan - Lil '59 bridge and Hot Tele neck pickups (I tried a tele bridge p/up but couldn't get VH out of it)
- Schaller Megaswitch T with middle position having both pickups in series
- 500k volume pot only
 
Born and assembled in the USA by 'Mwah
 
Couldn't wait to have a TELE in the arsenal and now that it's here, it's better than I imagined.
Does everything I need, from covering VH to Keef, so ANYONE who doesn't like it can suck on a Strat! ( or Schecter, or whatever your favorite brand is these days)
 
Sold the Parker, changed my avatar, and feel great about the future!
Yer pal,
Dave

Spy photos taken at your beach hideaway reveal a slightly different guitar than the one you posted pics of..... :hello:

Also, it's missing your usual wang bar setup? :undecided:

Also, I have another guitar in my possession that sounds just like one of these.... :angel

And nice guitar SG.. my telecaster is all warmoth Wood and I love it.  Looks like a really fun axe to shred with a nice tube amp!

Nice geetar and a figured wood tele!? Cool compensated saddles too. Did you put it together? I think Jim doesn't recognize anything without springs in the back, a 5-way switch, and a detonator? I couldn't tell what pickups on my phone's display, Duncan in the back? Did you fit it with the cool stretchy strap for some of that wild left arm action yet?


BTW, what's with all the new guitars with you, jim, and others? Tax time?

Thanks guys!
 
Brett, I'm no shredder, it takes all I've got to fumble through tapping out a couple VH solos. And yes, I've reached tonal nirvana with a Mesa Triaxis into 2 home grown, big bottle, single ended power amps.
 
Yeah jojo, I'm an inspired assembler... it gives me a sense of connection with the instrument, not like buying off of ebay at all.
I also appreciate these compensated saddles. Intonates extremely well and Callaham knows how to make stuff, so that was an easy call.
Pickups are both Duncan - Lil'59 bridge and Hot Tele neck
And yes, stretchy strap all the way!  no goin' back
 
Jimbo, what is wrong with you?...you know my Hello Kitty Tele is baddass and I've never been a wang bar guy.
I'm so disappointed in the fact that you couldn't manage to say even one positive thing, and now my feeling is hurt. (yes, I only have one)
That's it!
I was going to post a video of me covering Highway Star with one hand whilst hand feeding starving, abandoned kittens with the other, but now you'll never get to see that.
I hope you're happy ....you can explain to the other kids why everyone loses, because of you
