NGD (not a Les Paul shocker!)

Whilst I am a big fan of the Lester I am also partial to the odd Telecaster. And a birth year Telecaster has been on the wishlist for a while. So when @St_Hubbins 75 showed up in the classifieds at the same time as a couple of guitars sold it was made to be.

Nick is superb to deal with and posted the guitar instantly. Beautifully battle-scarred and with a hot Seymour Duncan at the bridge (original pickup included) this thing plays and sounds exactly like I wished it would.

And it looks like this...



Paint me chuffed....






(Ok, so I did get a Les Paul as well. Slash-vibe modded R8 tops off a cracking day....)



Again, Seymour Duncan at the bridge (must be one of those days...) Killer plain top. Looks much better after instantly losing the pickguard.

Oh... I thought you were sending me that R8 because you feel sorry for me never having tried one?

Also... Same birth year as me. You old git!

You are welcome to borrow it for a try. Will prove an expensive move at some point though...

Bloody hell, you’ve only gone and done it again. Stunners, both. Happy new guitars day.

That's a good looking Les Paul

You bugger that’s exactly the kind of Tele I’m after! (albeit with a neck humbucker)
