And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
About 25 years ago I was in Vegas airport connecting to Ontario (CA). I chatted up a guy with a Fender briefcase who, it turned out, worked as a guitar builder at the Fender Custom Shop in Corona. He wouldn’t say any names, but he said that they would build pretty much any combination of parts for their clients. It sounded like at the time, that he was mostly doing Strat bodies with selected necks and pickups for various players. He invited me for a tour, but work was so busy that I never took him up on it. One of my regrets now. - Rob Muir
Hollow body Telecaster with an F hole and a whammy bar. It's seen some use.
ReplyDeleteWell that cant be Joe’ Garage because thats a Telecaster with a whammy bar not a Strat…

That's one strange bridge.
ReplyDeleteBody is a 68-71 Tele Thinline but the tremolo is off a Jaguar. Not sure if it's homemade Frankenstein or one of Fender's weird series.
ReplyDeleteguild made a hollow like this.
ReplyDeletethink we got a hybrid.
