    Hey Guys! While putting away the Christmas decorations in my attic I came across the body from an old Tele copy from manys a year ago which I had played the life out of and had eventually parted out. The body is worn, chipped, faded and absolutly beautiful so I lashed on a Tele neck from a previous project and voila! A new guitar is born. Oh, and I also picked up a double bound MIJ 62 RI Tele today.

    I only have one pic from my phone but I'll try and get proper ones later.

    My monitor must be broken, I don't see any guitars. That's odd, you see, it was working only a short time ago :p

    590 euro delivered from dolphinmusic.co.uk which is a bargain compared to the 900 they want in the city centre. Its a stunner of a guitar!

    Im loving the idea of an Esquire! Not sure about the bigsby though, I've always been under the impression that they are very finiky devices.

    No idea, it was just some cheap no name Tele. Body seems solid though. I love those old MIJ squiers, been trying to find a Floyd Rose Fotoflame Squier for ages now. Someday this will be mine:
