    I know the Tele and amp are faked, but I am hoping against hope that the man himself isn't real.

    Because if he is, I'm gonna have bad dreams.

    Jeeeeez ... it was just a joke! And that guy IS for real - no photoshop. The guitar, strap, and amp were pasted on.

    I'll go as far as to say that if you think ANYONE is proportioned like that,you need more than glasses.

    EJ fan,
    Nothing wrong with the post or the phtot.

    I thought it was pretty funny.

    But then, I'm a drummer so what the hell do I know?

    EJFan, that's two posts where you expressed some kind of dismay - so great you are at a loss for words - with the general reaction to the photo.

    So, what was your expectation? I mean, is there a way this thread could have gone "off-topic?"

    Re: REAL Men Play Telecasters!!

    I dunno. I thought the picture was kinda creepy myself. The guitar was kind of a moderating factor. I think if it wasn't there, I'd feel like gouging out my eyeballs but a fork, or something.

    Re: REAL Men Play Telecasters!!

    I totally got that it was a spoof.

    Maybe its only shortcoming was that it was just hanging there...
    THE GUITAR, I mean!
    It was more of a "Real Men Wear Teles" picture.

    FWIW-I thought my initial comment was in the spirit of spoofery.

    Personally, I see bodybuilding as perhaps the ultimate, mac-daddy 3D/bio-genetic Photoshop.

    Whether the image is altered or not, there's not much about that guy that's real.

    Hell, any picture of one of those clowns in pose-down is a spoof, even if he's not in on the joke.

    Re: REAL Men Play Telecasters!!

    I, for one, was offended.

    That picture was disgusting. I don't care if it was a joke, it wasn't a very funny one, and the sight of some half-naked guy in a "banana hammock" all buttered up made me want to puke. Thank you for deleting the picture, and also for realizing the gross error you made.


















    Only kidding!

    Seriously, I thought it was funny, don't be embarrased dude. You shoulda seen the picture that pc had to delete from my post in the "signature guitars" thread. Not a pretty sight!

    I don't own a Tele, but I play 'em every time I go to GC so once again, boobtube's manhood is affirmed. And if you saw the size of my muscles, there would be no doubt in your minds either.

    I'm working on it. The next guitar I buy will be either an SG or a Tele.
