Concentric= stacked knobs. I think the Fender Nashville Power Tele has that. Gotta have a tone knob!!!!!!

VERY nice work. The only change I would have made would be a 3 barrel brass saddle, but to each their own! Does it sound like a Tele?

Ditto the Hwy 1 suggestion if you want a new one. Also, keep an eye on CL and ebay for local sales of MIA's as they will be pretty close to the price of a new MIM w/ upgrade PuPs if you drive a hard bargain.

Too many absolute statements in this thread to have much validity. So here are a few more to muck it up! I have played MIMs that sounded and played better than SOME Pre-CBS's Vintage American guitars are friggin cool, and part of the tone comes from the wood I am getting while playing that...

As far as the concept of a truly "made in the USA" guitar, I love it, and try to support it as much as I can. But I really think the reality of it has changed drastically since the 50's and 60's........... Lets see, Asian workers don't make a bunch of money, but they are probably VERY glad to...

Prolly too late for this, but the couple of times I have ebayed to Europe, I just made the buyer do all of the legwork with the promise that I would recommend a few local pack and ship shops to drop it off at.

If youre talking about the ashtray, 3 brass barrell bridge(The ONLY real tele bridge IMHO!!!). The screw holes and pickup will easily swap out w/ no refitting, but I do think it is a bit shorter. I have made this swap a couple of times before with no problem, but they were both "relic" type...

You really dont need to use a splitter to make a rock helmet. Just a single usable tone that makes people worship you will suffice. My first few generations of rock helmets used simple LFO chips out of old Moog synths, but all that came out was "we're through being cool". Good luck with the...

is it a rotor or a V type? Pics? Either guitar is a totally monster, but I'm far too uncool to pull either one off!

I agree, but still have to give it a shot. Best bang for the buck is prolly Ibanez, but you can find some real gems with shitty names on the headstocks. I was a fender dealer for years, and about one out of every 20 Squire's was as playable as the average American or Mexi.

Killer Idea!!! I wont spend my hard earned musicians welfare check on it, but AAA+ for innovation.

Good luck finding a mom and pop local Gibson dealer!

I had the 100 wt 212 version for a couple of months w/ the big pedalboard. Tons of usable sounds and the attenuator was great as well. After a while, the thrill all of the modeling stuff wore out and I kind of became less than thrilled with it. Bottom line? If you really need lots of tonal...

You can find a nice starter guitar in that price range. You might want to look at some of the "Jam Packs" that most of the brands have out. You usually get a decent acoustic with a tuner, cable, gig bag, instruction book and small practice amp. Ibanez has a few that are pretty playable and...

You bought a GUItar instead of a KEYtar!

Stairway to Freebird!

Worst advice ever!!!! I can find a nice old USA Guild for $300-$800 that kills most of the so called upper end boxes. BTW while you are ignoring the name on the headstock, don't look at the price tag either, just see what speaks to ya. Also, take note of the condition of the strings, as a...

D'Adarios are great, but I switched to DR's a few years ago and am happy.

YUP! Thats about my experience w/ Crate! :) The only amp I ever literally caught on fire was a Crate(????Vintage Club?????). Seriously though, I have played through some totally usable Crates back in the day. I just wouldnt sink too much money into one.

ROFLMAO For that matter, who would win in a cage match between the Monkees and the Wiggles?
