Well, the short, optimistic version Bill... if they ever get me back to a place where I
can play guitar again, the Little Darling,
Aglaope fills that sonic space just fine. It's quite remarkable how many sounds that little guitar can do. I still haven't let go of the dream guitar yet either; a guitar take on a Retro body Brown Bass. The quote is pinned to the wall in my shop as a reminder. It's just harder to imagine being able to play it, and therefore, hard to justify committing to the build.
Nah, the biggest gripe I had with this Telecaster was nothing to do with the sound, it was the guitar itself. It sounded fine, just never felt quite right to me. I have a buddy who wants to mod it to suit him and he likes the way it plays so I'm gifting him the guitar and recouping some of my $$$ on the project. There will be more to come.
Jazzy, there used to be a chain of discount retail stores here in the U.S. called K-mart. At various points throughout the day, an announcement from overhead would boom out; "ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS, TODAY'S BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL IS..." and there would be a stampede of shopping carts in the direction of a spinning blue light. Didn't matter what it was, you
had to go see.
K-mart is all but gone now.
