How valuable do you think a blacktop is? And I don't encourage people to do anything but at the same time I don't insult someone for changing the color or pups or using gold hardware on a MIM tele. Now if it had been a 70's or older I would have discouraged cutting in a battery box. But posting with no other intent then to insult people and disrupt the forum is indeed the very definition of trolling.


Someone who owns a collection of vintage guitars may think it was junk but what about the kids who are saving up just to buy squier affinities, dreaming of getting one of these.

It's all about perspective. Do you think someone who barely earns enough money in a year to buy a blacktop would ever consider doing something like this? Millions of people are starving to death in the world who have never seen anything like this guitar.

I would never discourage anyone from modding a tele, it's great. But my point is you have to be smart and make informed descisions. Look back through this thread, he makes his choice of pickups based on watching a couple of YouTube videos which is a terrible idea. He has no idea what he's doing or why he's doing it and everyone just encourages him.

Reading this thread is like watching one of those kids who kill themselves taking drugs on a webcam because strangers tell them to do it.

Just speaking my mind.


It is okay to speak your mind as long as you are not personally insulting someone just because you don't like what they did to their OWN guitar. As far as any kids that are saving up for a guitar I hope when they do finally get it that they don't have to deal with a negative troll like you if they decide to personalize it. And if it is a mistake then that is the best way to learn. What the OP did to their Tele came out fine and if he does not like it...well it is only a cheap piece of wood...I am sure he can change the pups or color of stuff...jeez are you for real?

As far as anything else you said it is so ignorant that it actually surpasses normal trolling and is entering the realm of delusion.
