Surprised that he was so in love with the neck. But, perhaps that's my "backward looking" opinion, from when the neck carve you got depended entirely upon who did it. Which, actually, was kind of fun, it it's own way. Like that he points out that Heritage, operating out of the K'zoo plant actually has a longer, well, heritage building LPs than Gibson does. Except, for me, that kind of fell off when the OG owners stepped out. Not a knock on Pete Farmer, but he wasn't there when the original 50s LPs were being built, like, you know, the OG owners were. The line has been broken, in my mind.

Telecasters truly are the Swiss Army knife of guitars. Used for everything from blues to jazz to reggae to rock 'n roll to pop to country to you name it. That Tokai is a real looker, too. Good luck with the band and gigs! I <3 gig reports, so I'm hoping you post a few.

I laughed at the punch line. Sucked me in on that one! Glad you had a good time. It is amusing to hear my sons and their friends talk about songs that have been re-released as covers as if they're the original. I can't imagine playing in a band with that sort of disconnect.

I've always told my boys, "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see."
