The good news.......
.......Our front man/guitar player's wife bought him a new 60th Anniversary Tele today! How cool is that???? 8)
It's a 3 tone burst and they replaced the aged white pickguard with a black one. Looks beautiful!!!

The bad news.......
.......His practice amp is where we practice and his giging amp is stored at another location, so he wasn't able to plug it in and play!!!! They had plans to go out tonight so he didn't have time to go get one of 'em. :cry:
I bet I know what he'll be doing first thing in the morning. :wink:

Oh man, that's brutal! I pretty much have to immediately plug in any new guitar I get...I could see myself running from door to door if ever faced with that situation:

Me: I'm sorry, but do you have a guitar amplifier? I need to play some tasty riffage!
Confused neighbor: I'm calling Neighborhood Watch!

I can't say too much. Finally getting my FCS bass home is a long story, but it was about 11 pm when I did get home with it and my wife was in bed. She had to get up at 4:30 the next morning for work. So I sat in the living room playing it unplugged for at least 30 minutes and probably another hour just staring at it. :roll:

i had a similar story. My dad got me a 62 reissue surf green strat for christmas. He picked it up and brought it home had me open the case and look at it to make sure it wasnt damaged or anything (thats what he said but in reality he was trying to bring tears to my eyes) just as i place my hand on the fretboard in the shape of a G chord he stops me and says "wait till christmas"....a week later i got to play my new baby.

Oh man! That's borderline child abuse!!!

I bet you couldn't sit still all week. Like my Dad use to say, "That guy was so nervous that he wore his pants out from the inside!

We've had a couple of practices now and that new Tele sounds fantastic! He's tryin' to get use to a different sound and says now he has to work at playing better because the guitar plays better than he does. :lol:
