TG-250 #1003 Texas Special

I must admit that something very magical happens when you stick three singlecoil pickups under six guitar strings. That quack is enough to keep me entertained for hours on end. One memory leads to another and you just keep digging up these bitchen riffs that were born on the Strat - a registered trade mark of Fender Musical Instruments. Amen.

This guitar gives you all of those sweet, warm tones and a whole lot more. It's loaded up with Duncan Vintage Strat singlecoils and an SH-4 "JB" in the bridge with a push/pull tapping switch. All the bases are covered.

Number 1013 from Behind

The tune-0-matic bridge and stop tailpiece let you bend to the high heavens without losing intonation. Something you'll really appreciate if you do a lot of double-stop bends.

Up close the woods will mystify you. My guitars are like Ant Farms. Sometimes you just stare at them for minutes on end. Mother Nature has a lot to offer in this crazy day and age. Swirls and ripples. Three dimensions on a flat surface. Go figure.

I think this guitar - as set up - would be ideal for the blues player as well as R&B cats. It's got a light touch and the maple fretboard is lively and great for chording. And, being semi-hollow, will appeal to jazz players, too.

How about $2200 with a case and I'll cover shipping. I now accept Paypal.
