Re: Show us your Telecasters
Joined the tele club again the other night, picked up this mexi standard on tardme, about to install an obsidian wire 4 way kit in it, she'll be a great workhorse!

It is a Palir. Make by by John Palir of Palir Guitars in Louisiana. Definately contrived and fake. Up close it is jaw dropping.
I look at it as a art piece rather than a relic. That was the selling point for me. They do some amazing stuff.
Check out their site. I now have two. The qc and guitars themselves are killer
Will try and throw some pics of the the other up later in the week.
In saying that if it was packed and I went I fear that the locks here might be changed before my return.

Re: Show us your Telecasters
Got the 4 way switching tele kit from Obsidian Wire that Mat @ Tone Lounge makes installed, so much easier than faffing about with a soldering iron, altho' with the 4 way setup you need to solder an extra ground wire to the neck pickup but thats 2 minutes work... the rest of it was brilliantly easy with the quick connect wiring setup, he's onto a winner here!
I took the time with it all apart to shield the cavities with copper tape, and clean out some of the leftover mexican detritus, tone wise the 4th position gives a nice grunty humbucker tone, will be really useful, and the added bonus of the treble bleed on the volume pot is great for not losing your toan as you wind the volume down, win win!

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
