    New Jack died of a heart attack today in North Carolina.

    This right here. Unless you want a Strat specifically with a V profile neck, then go with the blonde. And please don’t pay $500 for a reliced Affinity Strat. You can make that guitar yourself for $150-200 including the Duncan JB in the bridge.

    There’s a special place in hell for guitar thieves. I’ll keep my eyes out on CL and eBay. Did not know you were a Tokai guy, Al Bundy!

    Another thanks for the pics! What were some of the lower priced guitars you saw there? I saw a couple of 70s Strats in the $4k range in your pics. Was that pretty much the lower end or did you see anything in the $2k-$4k range? And do you know if the 58, 59 and 60 bursts were for sale? I noticed they didn’t have prices on them. Man, those Tele Customs make my heart race. Also, were there amps for sale too or just guitars?

    Wow

    I’m pretty sure that’s a poly finish on that Tele. It’s just referred to as a gloss finish online. Most MIM is poly, although Fender does (or did?) a lacquer finish on some of their MIM reissue models. The lacquer definitely feels and wears different than their standard poly finish, but Fender will usually put the word “lacquer” in the model name and charge you extra for it.

    I’m a fan of the compensated saddles as well. I’ve put them on several Squier Classic Vibe Teles over the years, and the 50s Tele I just got already had a set of them too. Would that work on NoHarley’s guitar though? Looks like his Tele has a six saddle bridge.

    Where are you located? I saw this exact same guitar for sale in San Antonio a couple days ago. Guy wants $600 for it, says it’s brand new, still has stickers on it and plastic on the pickguard. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/msg/d/san-antonio-fender-player-telecaster-hh/7298421184.html

    Yep, it’s probably the one you saw. Got it on Craigslist. Came with a hardshell Fender case and upgraded with Texas Special pickups. You know me well, Deej! And Hulla, it’s pretty clean but not as clean as it appears. A previous owner had tried to relic the poly paint job by taking some steel wool to the body to take off the shine and also put a buncha deep scratches all over the body. I used some rubbing compound, scratch and swirl remover and polish to bring it back to a nice shine, but some of the scratches are still visible if you look closely. It plays great and I got it for a great price so I don’t mind the bumps and bruises. I’m a sucker for vintage appointments on Fender guitars.

    I’ll play. Here’s my latest Tele. Picked this one up a couple days ago. It’s a MIM Classic 50s reissue.

    Forget the symmetry or lack thereof. That pic is missing a Tele.

    Gaetz retweeted this. Cuz who better to defend you from allegations of sex with a minor than Alan Dershowitz.

    I don’t know much about The American Conservative in terms of their credibility or what their angle might be, but I’ll post this anyway. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/state-of-the-union/leaked-texts-from-israeli-consular-official-show-more-details-in-gaetz-levinson-funding-scheme/ tl;dr A guy who works for the Israeli consulate and claims to be involved in the Levinson deal was texting the Dilbert dude about the Gaetz investigation as early as last Saturday.

    The photo is real. Here’s a video from the event.

    Have we covered the weird voicemail Greenberg and Gaetz left for Rep. Anna Eskamani?

    Similar experience here. Got my second Pfizer shot yesterday at 11am. Was feeling fine when I went to bed around 10pm last night. Woke up around midnight with a splitting headache, followed by chills and body aches. Feeling a little better now, but just kinda beat down and I wanna go back to sleep.
  18. Foggy Notion
    I like that. I like that a lot.
  19. Foggy Notion
    Yup. I know the vaccine comes with some inherent risks. I hadn’t considered that might mean getting shanked in the parking lot.

    Got Pfizer #1 at the HEB at Rundberg and Lamar yesterday. My appointment was for 10:50. Got there at 10:30. It took me about 30 minutes to get through the check-in line. Make sure you check-in even if you’ve already printed and filled out your consent form. Multiple people booked in each time slot. Was worried I was going to miss my appointment, but then realized nobody else was getting their shots either. Waited near pharmacy with everyone else who had already checked in. At around 11:45, I overheard a tech tell someone that the pharmacist was drawing up the shots. A few minutes later they started calling out names and administering the shots a few minutes apart. I got my shot around 12:00.

    Ram Ayala’s Taco Land was the place for SA’s punks and weirdos. Ram owned and ran the place from 1965 until 2005 when he was shot and killed there. https://m.sacurrent.com/sanantonio/an-oral-history-of-taco-land-10-years-after-the-death-of-ram-ayala/Content?oid=2448969

    That's a good story Foggy. Everytime I've seen Lukas he's played his 56 Les Paul Jr exclusively. There are always a couple of other guitars on stage near him, but he never picks one up. I notice cause his roadie always comes out between songs and tunes one, so you think he's gonna switch, then he continues with the Jr. Ive decided its a bit thats become part of the act. Just to be clear, this is just what I've read on the internets. I've never actually seen Lukas play the Strat, I've just read that he now has it. He's playing the LP Jr. in just about every live pic I've seen. If he does own Eddy's Strat, I'm guessing he doesn't take it out very often.

    The 50s Strat Eddy is playing here was given to him by Dickey Betts when Eddy was 14. Betts also gave Eddy a 335 owned by Duane Allman. Eddy passed away the week before he was supposed to start recording his solo album. When he died, Billy Joe didn't have the money to pay for his funeral so Willie paid for it. Billy Joe paid Willie back by giving him the Strat and the 335. I believe Willie's son Lukas now plays the Strat.
