Assumptions of worth run wild when someone has a 'vintage' Fender... There's a Phil Kubicki made P neck on eBay with a very inflated asking price - it's been there for a while. Now if George Harrisons PK made all rosewood Tele came up for sale, that would be a different story.
Yes. I had a tobacco burst Epi Japan bird 15 years ago and foolishly sold it, so I totally get your regret. This should scratch that itch though. I imagine this one could possibly be an Epi Japan model as well. I may be able to narrow it down once it arrives.

It's the main squeeze, no doubt about it. I wish things would have allowed me to buy one much earlier in life, it's an exceptional bass to my ear, even with the pickup cranked down flush with the pup ring it's just got an amazing tone. I'm reluctant to even change the strings on it - it just sounds that nice.
The Bird and the House Tiger at rest, it's a nice sunny but cold morning today.
Tire tracks across your back...Does the tat have tire tracks and if so, where do they go? No pics please.
Excellent! Do you know what strings are on there right now?

I think they're Nickle Rounds of some kind, no silks. They're not as bright as a Stainless Steel string, depending on where your hand is touching the string they can tight and well defined or quite deep and very bassey.

I flew with some brownies once. And at them. Dealing with the airport wasn't fun. I'll never do that again.Doubt it, they won't even let you fly with your weed or edibles.

I had the honor of having a lengthy conversation with Gene Parsons probably going on 30 years ago.
One of the things we ended up discussing was Roger McGuinn's frequent use of a Danelectro 12 string on recordings, but using the Rickenbacker 12 string live.
I am unable to mention this around Rickenbacker elitist's, because tempers flare, and blood vessels burst, and diapers are rapidly filled.

Is that you telling your 'friend' not to smoke in the house?
Just before her warning shot took the tip off the cigarette.
Yup, in 47 years I've only had two SVT heads suddenly stop working on me and one time it was user error and the other time user neglect. I had one fall from the top of an SVT cab once onto a concrete sidewalk, the sidewalk got damaged more than the head.

I got the CP today, absolutely mint, still has the stickers on the pickguard. He's had it approximately 12 years, hasn't played it since it was new when he took a few lessons. It is light with nice wood figuring. It's a made in China. I think it would look good with a black pickguard, what's the preferred source for one? Photos tomorrow...
