Re: My new Tele is Ugly.

I did a little bit of reflection... I like Baby Shit every bit as much as some of my guitars which cost 10-20x as much. I'm not saying that Baby Shit is a better guitar... but it is every bit as fun to play and sounds freaking great.

I think she'll go in for a new nut and a luthier setup next month. My AVRI Strat is in getting "the works" right now... Next month, though...

I hadn't planned on doing much for upgrades on this guitar... but I've found that the tuners and bridge were worth while. The setup is always a good move - as would a new nut. I'm still happy with the electronics - but I could see myself gutting this thing eventually and doing new pups/pots/caps/switch. I'm in no rush for that, though.

Once I get my Rist Tele, I may need to re-evaluate the pickup situation so that I have a worthy sounding backup for gigs!

Cheap guitars = fun.

Too bad we live so far from each other, I bet our Rists would like to hang out and jam.

Re: My new Tele is Ugly.

I wanna fix my tele up again, throw a better wiring kit in there and put a new bridge assembly on it, mainly because I found out page did the stairway to heaven solo on a tele and I got a rockman x100, and I know I can rock some zepellin tunes on it with a blindfold
