You got a blue sofa?
Excellent!!:wav
BTW: You need to get more time with that camera.

That is one of my favorite looks for a Tele. I love Sunburst Customs. Congrats.
Pay no attention to Neo, he's got this bizarre sofa fetish.

I love a double bound Tele almost as much as I dig a new blue sofa! I don't know which I'm happier about. Good for you man!
If you're bored, you're not groovin'.
Sorry, man.
You see 'em all the time around here, but that Tele IS mighty sweet looking, now that you point it out.
BTW:Is that velour of denim?

Come on, Timbo, spill the beans. I know a lot of the story from the other thread so, what happened? Where did you score the 'burst, bound beauty from? Tell, man, tell!
BTW, SCORE! Nice job, Timbo. I hope you get a great deal of pleasure from the beastie
Tenebrae
PS: that is a rather nice shade of blue. Comfy couch, is it?
Nice Timbo, where did you get? I want either a double bound or a blond/ash with maple neck. Ahh, the agony.

I absolutely LOVE a blue sofa.....
with beige curtains.............ooohhh....it's the sland.
Would you mind moving your guitar? It's interfering with the picture.
I'm thinking if we go with a darker carpet.......uh........uh.....
never mind....I got my forums confused........
If you leave the house, you're just asking for it.
Sofa needs.....
Cushions! Perhaps something done in nice pastels....:)

Yipee - sofas with curves!!

If she IS nude, delete her, I have others :blbros
:bwa
(thinks: good job I didn't post the picture of the leather sofa)
For the aficionados out there, we're talking luxury sofabed action, with kryptonite alloy pull out frame, polyprop base, full transperambulatory cosmic anti-matter proactive sprung interior, and pre-flocked AAA azure velour covering.
For the rest of you it's a blue sofabed :spin
And a guitar.
Pre-flocked is the sland.:yay

You'd have been proud of me. I took everyone's advice, and drove down to the store, ready to do a deal, THE deal. My mind was completely focussed, concentrating on one thing and one thing only. I was in the zone, ready to take no prisoners, quite possibly ready to kick bottom if required (and remember that I'm English, so it takes me quite a run up for me to get worked up about anything).Originally Posted by tenebrae
I marched into the shop, strode up to the counter, fixed the shop assistant with a steely glare and named my price. Before she could say a word I slammed my hand down on the counter and shouted "and that's my final offer, dammit!!!" (I'd reached a multiple- exclamation-mark level of fever pitch).
After she'd explained that this was a pharmacy, and that the guitar shop was next door, and could I remove my hand from the condom display on the counter, only it'd taken an awfully long time to arrange them properly, and now the super-size-extra-strengths were all mixed up with the fruit-flavoured-ticklers, thank you so very much, I bid my farewells and left.
Undaunted, I strode into the guitar shop and once more slammed my hand down onto the counter (checking beforehand that there weren't any errant condom displays in the vicinity), again shouting "and that's my final offer, dammit!!!". The impact of my statement was diminished somewhat by the sound of 200 plectrums catapulting from their display cabinet on the counter and making concerted bids for freedom.
The shop assistant seemed slightly taken aback, so I pressed my advantage by shouting "and make it quick, I have a boat to catch" (I must admit that, looking back, this may not have been the most apposite thing to say, but what the hell, I was on a roll).
The shop assistant said that he'd be more than happy to consider my offer, especially as it was my final one, but that in order to proceed in a satisfactory manner he would need to know what exactly my offer was. It would appear that in the heat of the moment I'd attempted a no holds barred haggle without naming my price. How we laughed.
I narrowed my eyes and stated my price (a figure halfway between what they were asking and what an import direct from Japan would cost). He remained conscious, so I added "and a gig bag". He flinched slightly, but remained essentially in charge of his faculties, so I played my trump card "and a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Donny Osmond."
"Enough!" he cried, and agreed to the deal then and there, before my demands broke him completely.
And so there is my tale. All that remains is to ask if anyone wants to buy a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Donny Osmond (one careful owner)?
:spin
Nice shopping technique.:yay
They sell Errant condoms in the UK? is it a brand name?
BTW: Wouldn't it be cool to enlage the Tele/sofa phtot, frame it and hang it on the wall there, AND THEN take another phtot and hang IT on the wall, and then...?

Can I nominate Timbo as the most entertaining new poster this month?
Glad he didn't go back for that second cuppa...
Nice job, Timbo!! A fine looking piece....and the guitar's not bad, either.

Shades of Andy Summers!
Well done!
I'm sorry I can't take the Donny Osmond cut-out off your hands. I think his teeth would blind me, and I might lose my pet hamster in those dimples.
I tell you, I'm still jealous of that tosser even after all these years. Did I tell you how happy I was to see a recent photo and realize I've retained more hair than the famed teen idol?
Perhaps I've retained a little more weight, too...
:lol
That sounds like a good idea to me!
Esquires rule!
I am jealous. I love the look of those SOOOOO much.

Nice one Timbo , you can bring it to the next jam.

I'll have to be careful next time I read a post from Timbo. My office sounded like I had a steam locomotive somewhere, venting brakes or something
:lol :rofl :lol :rofl with bells on!
Tenebrae
Okay Timbo, best literature I've had the pleasure or reading in months. You crack me up. You English are so good with words (and Aussies too).
I want to hear what happens to Donny...if you ever part with him.;)

Man, I used to have one like that. I miss it so much, I really regret getting rid of it. The best blue sofa I ever had.
Oh yeah, the guitar is very nice too.
A friend in need is a good reason to screen your calls.
My buddy in college had a Grover-colored sofa as well. Only his had sort of a hairy, shag rug kind of finish. It was great for soaking up beer, vomit, whatever. What a great sofa that was.
That guitar is the sland as well. Man, sitting on that magnificent sofa and strumming that gorgeous guitar is about as near to heaven as I'd think a body could get.
s'all goof.
The sofa's a hit, man.
How about full-view phtot?

I can well envisage Timbo achieving a nirvana-like state by doing exactly as you suggest, curtisstetka; but, there is something to be added: the facsimile Donny Osmond!
Let us imagine: Timbo, sitting on that sofa ~ universally acknowledged as being the total sland ~ strumming that beautiful instrument. Seated beside him, Cardboard Donny gazes off into the distance, smiling enigmatically, as wave upon sonic wave of tone heaven washes over them both.
I'm quite moved by the vision of it and I recommend Timbo try it and post the results immediately :).
Tenebrae
Timbo can bend the cardboard Donny at the hips and knees so he can sit on the sofa too.
Suddenly, as Timbo plays the opening chords to "One Bad Apple" a strange transformation takes place. Donny's cardboard smile begins to glisten like the real thing and he starts to sing...:brr

Woah!!! That sofa is magical too?!?!?

Curtis, the sofa knows all. Do not question the sofa.
In fact the sofa has got wind of all the interest and will now only communicate through an agent.
I will ask for pictures of the sofa, but cannot promise.

There's a rumor that the sofa will be the subject of the last Harry Potter book.

The sofa moves in mysterious ways
"Harry Potter and the Magic Blue Sofa of Jamsobad"
In it, Harry sits on the sofa and magically becomes a musician, sharing the bill in Vegas with Donny Osmond and forsaking Hogwarts and Dumbledor altogether. Meanwhile Hermione and Ron become little more than a groupie and roadie, again taking the backseat to Harry. They get pissed and burn the sofa to the ground, releasing the magic into it's true form, Voldemort. His newest evil plan: To make Harry industry-dependent, eventually becoming a junkie and drunk. Unable to cope, Harry casts a spell on himself and becomes Jack White, thereby eliminating himself as a threat to anyone.
You may want to watch out, I heard J.K. Rowling is eying the Tele too.

PS: That could just be the sofa talking though.
I thought the sofa was only talking to its agent?

Take not the name of the sofa in vain, or the wrath of flock shall visit you a right ding on the ear, you see if it doesn't.
By the way, just thought I'd mention that the patented Timbo (TM) haggling technique, while perfectly suited to guitar type purchase situations, is quite frankly rubbish when shopping for a loaf of bread in Tescos.
Sigh.

I think Timbo should send his story off to Mr Chaucer, and see if he can get it added to his anthology. "Timbos Tale". As told on the pilgrimage to Canterbury...
Or at TFF. (As if there's a difference! :))
BTW, nice sofa.
-Mark
Yeah but somehow it's just not as funny when you call it a chesterfield instead of a sofa.
If you're bored, you're not groovin'.

OK, now someone lean a Tele against it. LOL! Or put one in the King's hand!
