GAR never post his guitar. he posts shit instead.

Would you be referring to the ethnic slurs, or that he implies that though you can afford Custom Shop guitars you somehow can't afford picks?


Seriously though, let us know what you think of that Tele when it shows up!

[Cato]

I received it a few hours ago.



great tone, light weight, good looking, amazing relic job...it's worth owning.

Nice, very nice! I'm not a big Tele fan at all, trust me, but i've played on one before. They look alright but play like a dream. One of my dad's friends has a custom shop Tele solidbody with gold hardware, somewhat reliced look, and a push/pull tone pot. It's a trip... Plays so nicely, for all styles, even though it has two single coil pups in it.

Very nice, Cato! Congrats!

Nice man.. I have a 91(I think) tele that's about that color... great guitar. I wanted one forever and don't regret getting my hands on one. As said, they are players!

At the factory they use glass microscope slides like razors to wear off fingerboard lacquer.

At Cato's jungle shack on the ricepaddy, they just eat off the lacquer.

Nice !

Geez they really have that fretboard ageing down now, huh.....
I always preferred the solid body tele's, but what is it with
fender, I have not had one fender, from the factory with
a decent pickup ? Amazing considering how great their circuitry is
in their Amps.....

If i was to chose a semi hollow like that tele CATO, that blonde baby looks
very nice. Those maple necks ROCK !

[Panamark]

Hardtail too, if my eyes do not deceive...

[Cato]

I bought it at a Japanese auction site as an MBS(Master Builder Series) relic Thinline for about 2,000 bucks. but it was not an MBS but a regular relic product. so I'm gonna send it back to the seller.

great guitar indeed, but it was not what I wanted.

[Panamark]

For $2000, I would want what I ordered, are they shipping
a replacement ?? Same color ??

I saw on Los Angeles Craigslist, some guy in Agoura Hills selling exactly what you and I are looking for: thinline 62 Tele.

Jaxs Relic Guitars Holiday Sale

Since a Custom Shop is a copy anyway with a Fender logo, I am looking at these guitars with interest. I never heard of a "Jaxs." But they look correct.

more strats and teles being built every week

"more strats and teles being built every week" sounds like its a small enough operation they build to order.

Pay no attention to the troll behind the curtain, Cato.

Sorry to hear that. It looks cool! Think it was a deliberate bait-and-switch, or they just fucked up and sent you the regular relic accidentally?

I'm assuming you're sending it back so you can get the MBS you originally wanted, so imagining you'll ignore GAyR's "check out this one that's not even a Fender or the color you ordered originally" post....



However, as for small relic builders - never heard of Jaxs, but Rittenhouse is getting a LOT of attention lately...and they just started offering relic'ed Strat and Tele bodies separately (for around $350), so I'm interested...

Rittenhouse Guitars, Inc.


But anyway, hope you get the situation resolved to your satisfaction, Cato.

Shut the fuck up. You own nothing!

Go away, the grown ups are speaking...

[VanHalenFan5150]

Some very good Fenders are made in Japan....

And Cato lives in Japan, not China, smartass.
