Who took my suitcase?
Who stole my guitar?
And where's my sense of humor?
What am I doin' in this bar?
This man who's been drinking,
and giving you the eye--
I don't know @ThatGuy.

@keifel, La Grange is such an awesome jam, too. Funny ZZ Top trivia: There are three guys in the band, two of them have really long beards. The one guy with no beard is named Frank Beard.

Fofe says:
Very nice! First appearance for this guitar?

ThatGuy says:
@caronna @growershower @kimjonillness It's a japanese made Foto Flame Tele. It has the body contour on the back and arm contour on the front like a strat. And it was originally made with 3 pickups like a stratted up Nashville Tele. Some previous owner switched to this traditional Tele setup. I already have all the stuff to switch it back.

Clame for Foto Flame info, in you're interested.

jclutch says:
Tele always gets that perfect twang the strat just can't get.

Is that guitar hurting you? I mean I'll hurt it, I'm all whatever about it

rodohmes says:
That is a beautiful guitar. If I was to get a real Tele, it would be that exact color (with the woodgrain, but a flat finish) and that same pick guard. Beautiful.

Did the original setup include 3 single coils or was a humbucker involved somewhere?

ThatGuy says:
@rodohmes I'm not the original owner, but to the best of my knowledge these were wired with three single coils. It was basically wired like a strat, but with only two knobs. I'm planning on wiring back in the third pickup and maybe putting in the second volume control to.

I currently live in Norfolk, Va. but I grew up in NC and have spent way more time with my feet in NC dirt than Richmond concrete, so I went with North Carolina...Proudly

What I've learned from whiskerino thus far:

1. I've got to learn how to use my manual settings.

2. There are some underappreciated geniuses all over this planet.

3. My wit (if i may call it that) doesn't always read the way I want it to. Stupid wit.
