I just love a happy ending.
And a positive, heartwarming conclusion to a story, too.

BadgerDave is as good as his word. (After hanging out with you lot for a few weeks here I am not surprised.). Today a box appeared via USPS containing a pair of the era-specific black volume and tone knobs for Dr. Bear. Thank you, amigo.
Diablo175, I wish that your purple metal flake Cali LE was in your hands once again. I don't know if non-players can understand the deep connections we can forge with the supposedly inanimate objects into which we pour our technique and emotion in order to sing with our hands.

I hear you. That's why I've only gotten rid of 2 guitars in my life - one was an Aria Pro II Explorer shaped guitar and a 1987 RG550 and that was only a couple years ago. My Peavey T-60, though I don't play it very much, was the first decent guitar I had (parent bought for birthday) and now that they're both gone, when I play it, it's a nice reminder of that time.
I’m not on the board much at all anymore but I pop on today and read this thread. It was of interest to me because I’m a TLE lover. I had one of these “ones that got away” too. It was a custom build by BadgerDave, a teal Tele thinline with a Fender Custom Shop neck...anybody remember that one? Sadly, i’ll nevr be able to get it back because IIRC after I sold it, it was dismantled and parted out. It was such a shame, I thought it was amazing and I’m really not sure why I ever sold it. I’m glad to hear this great story and happy ending about this TLE though.
Awwwww man of course you have it Kizanski! You and Peter have all the cool guitars! How is it with the different neck? I loved the custom shop neck it had originally. Such a freakin’ awesome guitar. I’ll have to get a good pic of my seafoam Daytona, it’s mint and I have yet to see another one.
Wow so there's proof that others actually exist. Mine is a maple board. I do love seafoam!Like this sea foam Daytona? Selling this one was one I regret.
Now you blokes have gone and done it! I read Thursday last posts, fell asleep and dreamed about two friends that I let go when I sold Dr. Bear, a ‘72 Fender Thinline (and I do not mean a reissue) and an ‘83 Elite Tele that pretty much everyone (except one of Bowie’s sidemen) disregarded. Years later, while sitting in a waiting area at Heathrow I heard a BBC radio interview with Clapton in which he mentioned that the most wondrous neck he’d handled was that of an ‘83 Elite Tele. I’m still mad at myself.Like this sea foam Daytona? Selling this one was one I regret.
Well that’s just cruel! Oh and I want my seafoam pearloid tele back!You mean like this?
I am easily reached via private message and email...Well that’s just cruel! Oh and I want my seafoam pearloid tele back!
