At the end of the day it was just another American Standard, if I find myself longing for the love of a Tele again it certainly won't be hard to find myself a nearly identical model for the same price I originally paid.

I have my MESA Lonestar 2x12 listed as well right now. Also sad to see it go but likewise since I got the SG I've been playing my Single Rectifier a lot more and it's really all I need for the band I have going right now.
Over a year later, with the motorcycle paid off, I just happened to find my old Telecaster listed on Craigslist in Vancouver last week, drove out and bought it back yesterday. I've been belly aching about selling it for a year now and keeping my eye out for used Telecasters of the same generation, so glad I found my old one, it's still set up exactly the same as the day I sold it and the two fellas that have owned it over the last year really looked after it well (or just didn't play it much). Glad to have it back.

Currently playing 2016 Les Paul Studio with a Marshal DSL40c amp. I've become a bit obsessed with pedals lately. The last two I picked up were the Trio+ (looper, band creator) and the Muffaletta (Fuzz)

My main rig for a long time many, many years ago was a Mexican Strat into a Peavey Bandit.

****ing beautiful! Are these made in the same Japan factory as the old Prestige models? They turn out some of the best shred axes on the planet.

Because of finances I've got to let this one go. Breaks my heart. I'd planned on it going to the grave with me. 2007 Historic R9 in mint condition.

First had some cheap ass acoustic guitar
Then a basic Ibanez that I covered up with stickers to make it look like John Frusciante's.
Got an Epiphone Dot a year later that I still play sometimes.
in 2015 I bought a Fender Road Worn Strat in White that I still play a lot
Right now I'm playing my Fender Jazzmaster with Bigsby bridge.

I like high end Gibsons, because to me;

My 1996 Custom Shop is a guitar with the build quality of Willis Jeep and can take whatever you throw at it, but looks all pretty and shiny; like a delicate sports car or F1/Formula 1 racing car, almost - but it's anything but . . .

My 2005 R7 is a guitar with the build quality of a locomotive/train, and'd plow through/destroy whatever you threw at it . . .
My R7's headstock reminds me of an American locomotive/steam train just by looking at it because of how it's built and what it does. - and it looks beautiful like, a locomotive at a ceremony; powerful and dressed to impress. Like it's wearing a tux'...
It looks like James Bond maybe, or even a Bond Girl because it's sexy, and has that belly as I call it that I like, like the belly of a Bond Girl in a two piece swim suit, and my 1996 Custom Shop has the same 'belly', like a hot girl in a two piece swim suit...


Stock 1998/1999 DNXXXXXX American Fender Deluxe Stratocaster, Ash Body/Teal finish/Maple fretboard




1960's modded Framus Hollywood I bought at a pawnshop when I was 13.

When I bought it
When I was 20, I had it fixed and when I turned 21, as my 21st birthday present to myself, I had it customised to what I wanted it to be.
Looks like this.



A custom build Aardvark Telecaster/Stratocaster copy with an acoustic guitar neck profile/bone nut. High end copy, built in Surrey, England, by a man named Doug who no longer builds guitars due to health reasons.

Had a 2009 refret and in 2015 I had it upgraded with a Fishbone Powerbridge, looks like this now.
