Hey @Ramo!!! A NEW TELE !!!!

well......its the next morning ...and I STILL LIKE it so ..... all is well.
built very well....great neck and (though I had thinking of changing the pickups) --- they DO NOT NEED CHANGED ---actually it needs NOTHING other than I dropped the action a hair and tuned it......might slap some 10's on it (has 9's) and oil the fretboard......thats about all she needs
 
So -- I recently ----was looking at the online crack dealers wares ........and I was having some gas.............

so I though you know what -- I NEED another Telecaster Radio --- and @Ramo would agree with me in this ....so I went and did (on a rainy boring Sat afternoon) some real good Back Alley Opium Den spelunking ..................................................

ANd I found this really cool Telecaster.............................its shaped odd though............anyone know the POINT to this thing????????????

yes its an Epi 58 Korina..............................................yes its PRISTINE......................................and my good Opium Dealer at Jimmys Vintage Music in Auburndale ....even stayed late to allow me to come peruse his wares ......(the first one was free --- many years ago-- now Im hooked) ----priced LOWER than any I could find on the interwebs........I didnt even HAGGLE -- I thanked the local Ferengi Lord for his quality establishment and CHOICE inventory and purchased said V post haste! and Forth With and what not ...... rot -- bollocks -- hell fire I needed this like I need a third winkie .....
Oh well......lifes short Im told--- cant take it with ya

I will say again folks -- check out Jimmys -- online or (in person if ya in Da swamp) --Jimmy doesnt like to SHIP-- but if ya'll find something to help support my local hang -- Ill facilitate shipping if I can .....Ive done it


so @Ramo ----- LIKE MY NEW TELE RADIO "PONTY" version?!?!?!?!?!



Congrats on your new axe me Boy!! Hope you have much fun with it!:celebrate2::celebrate2::dance::nice_guitar::kewl::2Thumbs:
 
Any hole is a goal!! And i think thats a strip added to let you play while sitting, so it doesnt slide, instead of what most folks do: place middle of the v into your thigh
It almost looks like there's a recess in the wood behind the strip...not sure if I dig or not...typically I stand while playing so this wouldn't help me at all, and on the rare occasion that I do sit, it gets crotched like you said.
 
love that VW THANG ya got there "E" man


Well, look on the bright side, at least there's not a glory hole in the guitar!

It's a cool guitar man!

Thanks Bubba -- I am actually (pleasantly) surprised with it ----I also rubbed my junk on a Gibson TRIBUTE les paul in tobacco burst........which Ive been GASSing for a tobacco burst Lester for ......well A LONG WHILE .........and it was "o.k." but the minute I grabbed the neck on that PRISTINE "V" ...........................I was done ........ the credit card started climbing out of my wallet as I was test driving the guitar!
