I never wore a pick down in one day before.<br><br>I love the maple fretboard. It's my first one.<br><br>Hey thanks everyone! I'm having a great day. I took off work so not only have I been totally irresponsible all day, but I refused to do anything I couldn't do without my guitar strapped on. And all I could come up with was play the beast. Of course being alone all day makes that a given. :D <br><br>A Tele was the first guitar I ever wanted to have way back when I discovered electric guitars...late '60s'. My dad said no and that was that. <br><br>Well listen, Pops, that was then and this is now. :twisted: (With all due respect, Father.)<br><br><br>Took me thirty-five years, 4 trips to the local guitar store, 25 minutes with the owner and a credit card I should destroy and look at how much trouble I can get myself into. So spank me. I'll sue. :wink: <br><br>Thanks again, all!<br><br>That's why I hang here. You're all the best.]]></content:encoded>
