The white one in the first pic was a rescue tele, the clown that owned it actually used it as a boat paddle....

You would be surprised at the fockastic dumb things people do to instruments

 

[Phil513]

Beautiful. Why did you get rid of it?

I didn't really, it went with the ex. She traded it in on a minivan.

You traded her and a minivan?

Not bad!

Yes, I always wanted a Bigsby. I put all of them on.

No sir, he kept it in the bed of his pickup. The hardware and electrics were toast. The neck and body fared o.k. though, so I rebuilt it with all new hardware and some DiMarzio Twang King pickups. They can go from chickin pickin to full on rock & roll. Very versatile and touch sensitive.

Your truck must be pretty quiet if you can hear a radio

 

[Phil513]

Well, it's all stock, stock exhaust, so it's not too bad. There is no interior panels in my truck though, so I did order some 6X9 speaker boxes today, to have some place to put 'em.

I like music.

 

[Phil513]

I like music.

Me too! I got this one because it takes a thumb drive, SD card, or aux input, no cd's to be skipping off road.
