There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Double bound Lake Placid blue Tele with dark rosewood board. There's one in the new American Originals series but buying new is, for me at least, never a good idea.



GAS is strong in this one...

Big headstock Strat, s/s/s, tapered heal (or whatever that's called), good locking tuners, and an R8 LP.

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.

Conway and I should see if we can get a bulk discount.

Edit: Sorry for 'inventing' a post there, Conway. Wanted to make sure you're in on the deal. ;-)

Giving some consideration to a Balaguer Growler on FB. Same as this https://reverb.com/nz/item/7228452-bala ... owler-blue

Struggling to find good demos but great looking offsets.

That's a coincidence, I was looking at those too. And also the ones by Logan:

The Logan ones are fully built in the USA, not that it really matters, except maybe for resale value?

Both these seem like better value than buying a Fender Japan guitar to me, but then I'm new to the whole Offset thing.

The Tele's lookin' around $3,600 which is too much, sadly. If I bring one in from Anderton's and get stung for GST I'm looking at $3,060. Both need a pre-order.

Want it to be less than $3k. $3k is Custom Shop territory.
