Duncan Broadcaster, at least in the bridge. When I was growing up, I was in the Gibson camp, not Fender, at least when it came to basses. When I started playing again, I started to play, or try to play, guitar. I picked up a Studio, and then based on Nightwolf's guidance, a Newport. I understood those guitars. I got hooked on Hamers. I picked up a Daytona. Though it didn't do a heck of a lot for me, I understood it. The one guitar I couldn't figure out was a Tele. It was plain piece of wood with a couple of pickups on it. If one was in the Fender camp, why would one want one, when a strat was more versatile, with 3 p/u. My guitar teacher knew I was into Hamers and had a T-51 he was going to unload - maple board, butterscotch blond - and offered it to me. Wanting to figure out why anyone would want to play one, I bought it. It was an ok guitar. Maybe better than ok. Cruising on eBay, I picked up a T-51F. Also an ok guitar. I didn't like the natural body, but it sounded good. Maybe there was something to these teles. But I didn't like the looks of the maple neck. More cruising on eBay. Found a blond T-51 with a rosewood neck. It needed a major cleaning up, but once cleaned up it had the look (not The Look ™. I considered it my "beater" guitar. The more I played it, the more I liked it. The Studio, Newport, and an after acquired korina Vector all sat in there cases. Maybe there's something to these teles. My only objection to the T-51 was it is too heavy for my aging frame. Upon the counsel of Gwayne, I picked up a G&L bluesboy, with a rosewood neck. HB in the neck, a G&L mfd p/u in the bridge, and chambered body - under 7 lbs. It has become my No. 1. The Seth in the neck is superior to the Duncan in the T-51. The Broadcaster in the T-51 is superior to the mfd in the G&L. I tried putting a Broadcaster in the G&L, but it really didn't work. Overall, I still like the sound of the T-51 better, but the weight factor has made the G&L my first choice. Which I guess is a long way of saying consider a G&L (but it ain't as good as the T-51!)

Positive thoughts from N.E. Ohio!

34 sure is youthful from where I sit!

Congratulations!

I used to do GuitarOne and Vintage Guitar. Like Hi Flagston, I just do Vintage Guitar.

Have yourselves a good one!

Conrad, Can you give it some time? Maybe you will grow to appreciate it. I have had some guitars like that.

Have yourself a good one!

The best batch yet!

Have yourself a great one!

Have yourselves a great one!

Please accept my condolences.

Congratulations. May you have a long and happy life together.

At risk of showing my ignorance, why wouldn't a Special be the equivalent of an SG ? Both are double cut, mahogany, 24.75 scale, hum or P-90s.

Gary, My thoughts are with you and your family. Please accept my condolences. And peace be with you. Ben

Have yourself a good one, counselor.

Please accept my condolences. Your father *will* be with you for a long, long time.

We have a don't ask dont tell policy. And the fact that everything gets shipped to the office makes it a lot easier.

Looks like one I used to have. Are the p/us Lovers?

The promoter was on Cleveland radio this morning. Spencer Davis is the star. Now if it were Stevie Winwood, it might be a *little* more attractive.

My favorite instrument!!!
