Sylver Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Soooooooooooooooo, I didn't plan on buying a new guitar. It's questionable whether I can afford it or actually need it, but I couldn't resist. Now, it may seem to those of you who know me that I'm a bit of a gear hound, but that's not really the case. Yes, I did upgrade my amp recently and had to have a few new pedals to go along with it(Though there is one more that I'd like) But these were the first real purchases in a while. Drum roll please ... I saw this Aqua Marine Metallic American Telecaster with EMG's in it on Ebay, and bought it with "Buy it Now" I've wanted a Tele for a while, and this was a good deal(Though I guess I won't know for sure until it gets here next week). So, why did I HAVE to have this guitar? Because My Strat is the same color, and has EMG's in it! How perfect is that? So, now, all I have to do is put a matching pickgaurd on it and WOW. I guess I need to get a gig now, huh? I'm so excited. Jack I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Unpanned purchase? Does that mean when you record it, it's always gonna be in the center? I'm just giving you a bit of shit, y'know, nudge nudge Sounds cool!!! You deserve that guitar...aqua is my fave color too...way retro...I've got a Strat that color.

Bob Keelan Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 lol. Almost the same story here! Threw out a low-ball offer on e-bay for an american tele. I already have a JV Squier '52 RI so it's gonna be fun comparing the two. Hmmm, should I go search for a strat now? bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just giving you a bit of shit, y'know, nudge nudge LOL, I just saw that typo before I checked the thread. It's ok, I would have made fun of it too! [qb} Sounds cool!!! You deserve that guitar...aqua is my Hey, post a pic when you can, wouldja?[/QB]Yeah, it should be pretty cool. I've been practicing so much and made so much headway on the guitar, I only feel a little guilty for buying it. Besides, I do want to start playing out soon, so I'll need a backup at the very least. The real ringer is when I told the Misses about it, she started talking like I should get it. After she saw it, she actually contacted the seeler and started asking questions, then put the bid in. [qb} fave color too...way retro...I've got a Strat that color. [/QB]Really? It is a cool color. I've seen so few guitars that color. Do you have a Mother of Pearl Pearl pick guard on yours? It was the perfect finishing touch to the appearance, I though. Now it's even more retro looking. [qb} Hey, post a pic when you can, wouldja?[/QB]You know it! As long as UPS doesn't put a forklift through it ... LOL. I already have the shot planned, both the Strat and the Tele Side by side. I still haven't decided on whether to get the White MOP gaurd(like I have have on the Strat) or the Black MOP. The Tele's Pickups are the Black covers. Opinion? I'm leaning towards the white, but wifey thinks the black would be a nice contrast. Jack I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Yup, my pickguard is white mother of pearl...the guitar is aqua sparkle...with a matching headstock. Now I wanna get a '57 Chevy to match it. Damn. I'm jealous...you hang on to that Mrs. of yours... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nollykin Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I have no pickboard. HAR. BUt then again, I get smudges on my beautiful laquer. *cry* proabably scratches too. surely they can polish out though if that happens. *shrug* "Money, Bitchez and Cheese!" http://www.playspoon.com/nollykin/files/voxline.gif "I never thought about it, and I never stopped to feel - But I didn't want you telling me just what to think was real.

It's just a matter of style and where to hide the electronics. I don't think the pickgaurd really serves much of a purpose on an electric. Well, at least for me. I never touch the guitar body with the pick while I play. I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
