I bought this Tele from MMI Music back in September of '99. It was marked down $200 because of 2 dings in the back (one of which went through the finish). This price included the standard plastic (SKB style) hard shell case, and I really wanted a Tele, so I put it on layaway and with the extra income from my band I was able to pay it off in about a month. The stock Tele pickups just didn't 'twang' enough, so I replaced them with a set of Duncans. I put a Vintage Broadcaster at the bridge, and a Vintage Rythym at the neck. Now I get all the twang I could EVER want! I also replaced the stock white pickguard with a perloid one and it looks great. Currently, I'm thinking about having the neck reshaped to a soft 'V' like my '87 Strat. I recently put a set of Sperzel Trimlok tuners on it (although they aren't in the pictures yet) and I also plan on replacing the original plastic (SKB style) case with a brown tolex model. In any event, it is really a fun guitar to play. |

This would be the big ding on the back of the body that knocked the price down so low.
