Oh brother, here we go again - another Telecaster

[smurfco]

I like the vintage frets and radius, I'm talking more about the beefiness of the neck.

I thought you were vegetarian now?

the beaniness of the neck just doesn't have the same ring

This neck is full of the power of seitan?

Isn’t Springsteen’s iconic guitar an Esquire retrofitted with a neck pickup? I believe it is stripped down to a natural finish.

Well yeah, the real one is reportedly a telecaster body with esquire neck. Don’t know about the finish. The signature guitars or replicas might as well be butterscotch tele. I was putting for a few feet to the hole, not for right in the cup.

How about neck profile? Can't we just say neck profile?

Imprecise! Disbarred!

Oh brother.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

Yeah, hopefully the neck on this one is more substantial...

How did you manage to find a '52 RI with a small neck? The one on mine ('80s US) is baseball batty. Did you play it at Moe-'Lanta? Am pretty sure I brought.

Hope you like the MIJ! Cheers!

No. You have to get a shot in at the people who like thin necks. If those people didn't exist, all guitars would be playable.

Beautiful

and just to be clear, not accusing Surfco of getting a shot it. Just an homage to the passive aggression thread.

Bruce donated a signed replica to an auction to help an acquaintance of mine, also a ski instructor, and one of Bruce's personal instructors, with costs related to his battle with cancer (which he unfortunately lost). This was back in 2007. That one looked pretty much like a '52 re-issue. I wanted it, but my friend was better served having the wealthy folk bid it up. There are celebs, and there are celebs, that visit Sun Valley. Some are cool, treat the working folks well, tip, and etc. Others are way entitled and think their presence in your space is gratuity enough, while expecting the moon in terms of service. Bruce is of the cool variety.

@smurfco , I really hope you enjoy that guitar. It looks great.

IT HAS ARRIVED

I think this is new old stock. The plastic was still on the pick guard and it doesn’t seem like it’s been played, but it’s a 2013 model. A little bit on the heavy side but plays really well, nice super fat neck.
