Just an fyi but I have a couple ash Tele bodies hanging around already in silver flake base, wouldn't take much to give one the Buck treatment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Efland is really Northwest Durham...or is it West Hillsborough? Maybe East Burlington? Far East Greensboro?? At any rate, I stood upon the hallowed ground of ROWYCO World Headquarters last weekend and always enjoy the sparkles, the fumes and the great company. Git you some of that!

Far East Greensboro?? Depending on which end of Efland Stike inhabits, he's either closer to Hillsborough or Mebane. It's rural Orange County, all the same. Definitely not Durm, and that's a good thing. Edited May 20, 2022 by Biz Prof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slingblader Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) We had a big celebration for my Dad's 80th birthday yesterday. After the open house and all the guests left, we had a few more hours together as a family and we presented Dad with his guitar. My brother also got his silver Tele on the same day, so we all posed together with our Buckaroo themed Teles. In case there is any question, I got the short and fat genes in the family. That may be a look of shock and disbelief. Me, my dad and my brother. A little picking and grinning. Being able to share these with family made it all worthwhile.

Drew816 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 That's fantastic!! The axes look even better than I imagined they would and the family photos and fun; priceless (truly!). Happy 80th to your Dad and get that Buckaroo on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 11 hours ago, slingblader said: No way! That's very cool, thanks man! It was an easy decision: 1. Your Buckaroo Tele build project (x 3) finished just in time for your Dad's 80th was just too damn cool. 2. Our keys player is originally from Indiana. 3. One of my bandmates and I look for any opportunity to play a Buck tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
