I bought this guitar back in the summer time, and put new pickups in it. I then ended up giving the guitar to a family friend who just started playing guitar. He dad was a bigtime guitar player his entire life and recently passed away. When she couldn't get his electric guitar, I knew I had to give her one and since he played a Telecaster, I knew it had to be this one. So with the blessing of my wife, I gave it to her. I have too many guitars anyway;-) ALSO - IF YOU TALK SHIT ABOUT HER, I'LL BAN YOU. I ban no-one ever for anything, but don't you dare talk shit about my friend:-)
