Last Sunday my band the Worst played a gig and it was photographed and here we are, playing at a much smaller than you might think venue, if you look close enough you'll see me playing my heavily modified striped Telecaster.

My trusty tele held herself well during this, but I think that I'm gonna replace her neck sooner or later, the profile is a bit too thin for me and I want it to have a maple fingerboard for the brighter tone.

Afterwards I got a lot of compliments stating that I was the best that could have happened on the bill, I wasn't that good but it also shows what the rest of the bands who played were like.

Oh yeah, here's a picture taken prior to the gig on which I'm showcasing both guitars I had ready for the thing, I ended up playing the entire thing on the tele though.

Nice Wouter. I think they have your trademark. In your builduing it seems you have also adepted the sandwich style, in the other direction however. The tele is really cool. And will be nicer with the maple neck. I suggest you swap neck with the SG. I have an idea that the SG would be nicer with the rosewood neck.
Keeps you busy!

Geluk ermee en welkom in de club!

Your telecaster certainly has a distictive look to it. It looks good on stage. The maple neck would look good. Or maybe wenge if it's available.
