I've been using a Player Tele almost exclusively for gigs the past few years. Covers all the styles from country to pop to rock and you don't have to worry about dings and wear. Don't have to hassle switching guitars in the middle of a set. Last night I took my 2002 Studio Custom and played it the last set. Maybe not as good for country tones but still very good. There were several highlights that will make me take it out more often. The appearance is fantastic. The vintage natural flame top looked great under the light, much more dynamic than at home. Last song was a rock inspired House of the Rising Sun jam. The woody tone from the neck pickup was great for the first lead, not available on a standard Tele. Second lead was on the bridge pickup with a wah, that tone really stood out. Pickups are @JGravelin Ultimates with UOA5 magnets and slight tweaks, most excellent. I'm at the point where I feel guilty having nice guitars and not playing them. Not worried about honest light wear from playing. The more you play them the better they sound and play, I'll still use the Tele most due to the song mix of the band. The Hamer and Les Paul will be getting more playing time.

Star case?.. that sounds interesting... any pics?.. measurements?

I've got an original Hamer issue "Star Case" flight case I'd let go for less than that.

🤣

Enjoy your $1350 case! Be sure to put padding in the three corners. Just some friendly advice, use a couple of guitar cloths wrapped around the points. Otherwise, the 1st hard knock may damage the points on the guitar. Might not, but better safe than sorry. That's a decent price. Especially because it's filled with Hopes and Dreams... Hope to get a Standard to put in it. Dream of those $350 prices for one. You must have a Standard to put in it, so BOOM one dream fulfilled! Please post a Pic of your Standard. Thx, H R

Just guessing but he told me Friday that if I wanted it, he would be able to ship it out on Saturday & that he'll be out of town Monday all week, so perhaps this is a way to NOT end the auction til he comes back?.. I didn't buy it cuz he raised the shipping & THAT'S NOT COOL 🤣

I agree that the movie started to push into glance at watch-territory. But that may be because I had brought my wife and she's a lukewarm Zep fan at best. Also have to grudgingly agree that they may be my GOAT. Plant's ad libs are definitely a defining part of his musical identity/style and yes, they were a bit overused live. However, even though Zep holds the lofty position amongst the pantheon of rock's greatest, I don't listen to their live material very often so, his ad libbing isn't terribly irksome.
