    My efforts to downsize usually yield similar results!!

    Awesome teles you have there!!! The CS 50's top bound is my fave!!

    Thanks.

    Old World is made by Sean at Lovepedal. I don't think the Old World web site is active.

    Dan Strain is the builder but he emailed me when he shipped the guitar and stated he is not taking orders anymore. He is a terrific builder!!!

    Csapo, YOU DOG!

    I've always wanted one of those but could never find the scratch. Now that I'm layed off after 32 years I know I'll never be able to get one. Please play it and enjoy it. I'll be living vicariously through you from now on.
    When you pick it up just tell it "Mikey loves you" before you start playing.
    If, at first you don't succeed, don't try skydiving.

    Mikey, so sorry to hear about the lay off. We all live in a very perilous time for retaining employment. I might be right around the corner in losing mine!??!?! Ya just never know.

    But I did let Merle know that you love him!!!!!...

    Can anyone tell me what a stock '98 52RI would have for a finish? Poly or Nitro?

    Tone is in the fingers, eh? Let's hear your Vox, Marshall and Fender fingerings then...

    Pretty decadent, ... probably even more so than Phantomman's Amp collection.

    The Sea Foam Green/Bird's Eye Maple/Pearl combo is great, as is the Tiger Maple topped w/ Gold trim blonde...

    The Gold double bound is a partscaster. Actually my first partscaster. The body is from a Chandler Tele and which I found on Ebay for a reasonable price. The neck is an Allparts which I purchased from a member on thegearpage.net. It has Lollar Vintage p/ups and white button Kluson tuners.

    I'm very happy with the way it turned out and thanks for asking.
