i thought a dude's $9000 Masterbuilt Tele was an FSR

[angry tele]

he has two teles:
one is an esquire with a huge soft V neck,
a white-blonde finish and weighed about 6.5lbs.
I thought it was a real blackguard. Thing was a beast.

It is a partsOcaster he made with a Warmoth neck.

Then I saw the other tele and I picked it up. Shit weighed like 10lbs,
had a mustardy yellow finish and a reverse control plate.
I said "these FSR's are pretty nice-the poor man's 52RI"

It was a masterbuilt he had comished like 9 years ago.

oops!

lol.

 

[Mark Wein]

Not surprised.

 

[angry tele]

the neck on that esquier is the shit. what warmoth neck is fat soft V?

the neck on the masterbuilt is flamed and feels similar to a 52RI neck. Nice but not great or anything.

I bet it is the Clapton profile. The Warmoth page even describes it as a soft V.

"You payed 9 grand for THAT?"

 

[BEACHBUM]

9K for a Tele? It had diamond inlays and platinum hardware right?

 

[angry tele]

he payed 9k almost 9 years ago
in todays money thats what like $50 million? (im not good with the maths)
but its a shit-ton of money for a boatanchor
