    Dude! All I can say is your guitar collection rivals Keith Richards!
    I think your lousiest instrument is better than my finest!

    Thanks blewgrass. It has been a labor of love.

    Thanks very much.

    This one should be here by the end of the week. Something about sparkly double bound Teles with matching headstocks and maple necks just slays me...

    Only the second time in 10 years that I am returning a guitar to a retailer. This one showed up and the color is really bright neon lime green and the sparkle flakes are HUGE. Not even close to the color shade in these pics.

    The sparkling and the binding are not well defined and bleed into each other. The pickguard is glued down (HUH?!?!?) but the glue is not holding so the guard warps upward, off the body.

    But bottom line is that it is just not a player for me.

    Really sad this one did not work out. The retailer has been great and I had very high hopes but sometimes a 48 hour return policy is a GREAT thing!!!!

    Since I returned the sparly tele above, my Holy Grail of Telecasters popped up It is everything I dreamed it would be (thank you Keith Urban for not buying another one!!!)...

    It certainly has been a long search for this Fender Custom Shop 40th Anniversary Telecaster in tabacco burst...



    And now there are two...

    I want a blackguard Tele - and a Thinline '72 Deluxe - and that red Tele with the 'trons in it - and a Bajo Sexto Tele. And then I'll be complete. ;-)

    How 'bout a group shot?
    Of all of 'em.
    Arranged by age.
    Oldest to newest.
    Left to right.
    In one row.

    Before you set that up, how many cameras do you have?

    Got one listed on ebay right now. My wife has allowed me this wonderful collection but she recently stated,"Enough. For one to come in the house, one of equal or greater value must leave."

    I've got a line on something special, so one is up for sale. There will be a couple more added.

    Thanks very much. Been away for a while, but my Tele love has not dwindled.

    The 3TSB with the maple neck is a Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt unofficial Blind Faith model, done by Fender masterbuilder, Mark Kendrick.

    A couple of guitars have gone and more have arrived. Here is an update...

    I'll second that emotion. Do you know how many guitars you have?

    Do you have axes that you forget about??

    Thanks guys. I do know how many I have and to see the current line up, just use my "Gear List" link and get ready to scroll.

    I don't forget about any guitars, just don't get to them enough.

    I've recently sold off a few but a couple have crept in...

    2012 Fender American Select




    1996 Fender Custom Shop "Cunetto" Nocaster
