I freakin' love satin finishes, whether it's the Godin I posted before, or this Les Paul Tribute Satin Iced Tea. I wish Fender would make a Telecaster with a satin finish. I'd be all over it.

I feel like I say this all the time, but what the hell . . . Warmoth.  You can have them do a satin finish Tele body.

Have you looked at the Highway One Telecasters? No longer made but you can still find them used.

I just spent a week on a very remote, scarcely populated island in the Adriatic Sea and the only thing I missed was my 000-28, so I think that answers the deserted island guitar question for me.

[Buzzrock 14790]

I have never drunk-bought a guitar. Maybe that's why I only have 24.

I opioid-bought a G&L Tele from Hulla

[Buzzrock 14790]

Cali trip got pushed back to December, AUTF. Guess I’ll have to box it up and ship it after all.

I must have been under the influence of something since I had two of the exact same guitars sitting in my living room.

Blocked tremolo, Lollar Dirty Blondes...an 84 USA, my first serious electric. Plays beautifully...

Thank you.

That's nice. It's the reverse of my gold strat with a white guard.

[Butch Had Not 2937]

Gonna change out the pick guard on the strat. Currently black body, white pick guard,  maple neck. Gonna put on Black pearloid or whatever it's called. Debating about also changing nobs and pickup covers to black.

Thoughts?

Same here. Probably the best playing guitar I have, at least for me.

[DougO 5238]

When I did my Vagicaster I intended to give it a gloss finish, but I kept failing at it and sanding down the drips and goofs. Eventually I started to like the satin more vintagy finish better and kept it like that.

 

The cheap pot metal block broke on it a few years ago and I never got it fixed. Need to find a short trem block of better quality that will upgrade someday.

Is that a metaphor for Fender going down the drain?

Kinda like the red/orange strat, though, as well as the green bass.

[tbone_ 14016]

I don’t think Fender is going down the drain. In fact I think they are selling more guitars than ever.

[DougO 5238]

The PRS Silver Sky version would be in a much nicer pool, no cracks, with bikini clad sloots all around them.

And the new line features noiseless pickups. *sigh*

I want to change out the pickups.  The 490s in there sound good, but they don't balance out well when switching between them (neck pickup is a lot hotter and no adjustment seems to do much about that).

[Butch Had Not 2937]

The guys at Sweetwater are really nice.  Hadn't bought anything from them before and just purchased knobs and pickup covers and got a call today and text thanking me and chatting me up. They will get more of my business in the future.

Yes

You'll probably find it helps to let them know to tone it down a bit. I no longer get calls all the time telling me they have something I might be interested in or asking if I am in need of anything. I still get all the calls and texts following up on a purchase to let me know it shipped, and the calls after delivery asking how it's working out. I get tons of those, but that's my fault for making too many purchases.

[Grandioso 2592]

They are not THAT pushy. they simply know that you are an addict and they happen to offer (figurative) drugs. I always had great experiences with Sweetwater.

Yes, you should fully expect your Sweetwater "sales engineer" to call you a few months after purchasing a $12 set of strings or a bag of Dunlop Tortex picks, gushing about how great they are and asking how they're working out for you 😆  But they are a great company, and they do care about the customer, even if the phone calls are forced.  Just wish they had a checkbox account preference where you can opt-out of the calls (without having to awkwardly tell the person directly).  I did find an option to opt-out of their sales catalog, which I did because it's a waste of paper for me.

Catalogue is good for if you forget to bring your phone to the shitter.

Yeah, that got my attention, too. They keep trying to push that noiseless fail, that only benefits Seymour Duncan and other replacement pickup makers.

[DougO 5238]

I thought I had bought something from Sweetwater a while back, but couldn't find a log in for them, so maybe not, or perhaps bought as a guest. I almost feel like getting on their list because I get lonely these days...for something besides fecking robo callers.

[Deej 76304]

You can't buy as a guest. If you remember the email you used, just reset the password.

It's not that awkward. I asked my sales rep to look at my purchase history, and told him I will keep that up, there's no need to call me. When I want something I want something and calls won't increase my purchasing. Calls stopped immediately.

Metallica played a last minute show for a lucky 500 at one of my favorite SF venues last night. I only post it here because, from a video posted online, it looks like Kirk played Peter Green's Les Paul. Say what you will about Metallica, but I'm so glad Kirk is out rocking that thing for fans rather than it be sitting in some collectors closet somewhere.

And by this point should be calling Peter Green/Gary Moore's Les Paul, or just the Holy Grail?

Second this.

I had a 2007 Highway One blackguard.  Part of a special run where they just made 150.  Beautiful satin finish, CS nocaster pups, single-ply 5-hole pickguard, 9.5 radius on the neck, just a gem.

https://reverb.com/item/26886065-2007-fender-fsr-1-150-highway-one-telecaster-butterscotch-blonde-electric-guitar-w-case

Sold it for some reason.  Ragrets.
