Did you get your Telecaster yet
is so pictures please
Here She is, all I can say is I'm in LOVE!!!
My other, other, half got me an early Christmas present in the shape of the new Fender Mustang 2, 40watts and all the noises I'll ever want,


This guitar is easily the best I've ever played, the maple fingerboard is so fast and smooth, it's very different to rosewood, also it has the Delta Tone, which cuts out the tone control and give's the p/u's as they really sound, I don't want to ramble on, but I thought I was to old to get this excited.

Nasty one there
Do you think you will ever look to replace it at any point in the future?
I would love to, but way out of my league now, I'm looking forward to getting my Telecaster tomorrow,

have you ever tried on Alun?
No not one of these, but Crate is a class make, Years ago we used to use old radiogram valve amps for guitar, they were low wattage and distorted easily,

Re: Homebuilt Guitars (5 replies, posted in Guitars)
Alun - that is cool. I would love to have built my own guitar - how long did this end up taking and did you have to use specialist tools?
Thanks Olly,
It took about three months on and off, I had no specialist tool's, just a hand saw, hacksaw, electric drill, wood chisel, and a couple of screwdrivers,
Oh and a soldering iron, I have built other electric guitars prior to this one, but this is probably the best,
The neck came from a very early Japanese guitar, of which the name is long forgotten, it may have been an Orbit
Anyway I shaved it right down to fit my hands, and dressed the frets almost flat with a file and oil stone, and reshaped the headstock,
The single coil is off a Kay, and the twin coil from an Axe guitar, I routed out for the p/u's with a chisel and filled in around them with a soundproof sponge, there is virtually no acoustic sound, It weighs about the same as a L.P. and is very well balanced, It does play and sound nice, I'm very pleased I built it.

Re: Do I need to know notes? (24 replies, posted in Music Theory)
Not sure I agree with a lot of this
I believe many of the great blues guitarist's couldn't even read writing, let alone music notation, I play by ear myself, I can't read music or tab, all looks a bit complicated to me, also as a guitarist I believe you need to have a bit of freedom in what you do, I jam with music readers and it all seems to go along fine
But like everything else each to his or her own.

Re: Looking for a new starter guitar at sensible money (38 replies, posted in Guitars)
You have a good guitar there, Brilliant in fact for the money, I bought one for my eldest son, when they first came out, it was about £160 then, I was proper impressed, brilliant action, and sound, and the finish was perfect.
will last forever and probably become collectable in the future. A good choice.

Topic: Homebuilt Guitars (5 replies, posted in Guitars)
Has anyone ever built their own guitar? I built this one using pine and marine ply, It has a single coil in the bridge position, and a humbucker in the neck position, both p.u.'s are fairly cheap one's but the sound is good, I used gold plated Schaller machine head's and strap lock's, I have gigged with this guitar, It is now 17yrs old and going well.

Re: are you more of a maple neck or rosewood neck person (7 replies, posted in Guitars)
I think maple necks give a cleaner sharper sound than rosewood, they also seem to be a bit faster,
