Here you go Mitch,

There's two 12 set lots on e-Bay at the moment on a BIN basis.

Mitch, congratulations on your new Tele. Brain, your 62 RI looks nice too. Here's my CIJ 62 Tele out getting some sun. Pictured with it is a AmSe Strat.

The Tele has a Callaham bridge and CS Nocaster pups. As far as strings go, I'm using Pyramid's extra light nickel roundwounds (.009 to.042). I use the same strings on my Strat (it has Lace Holy Grail pups). Both sound sweet when played through either a SF Deluxe Reverb or Traynor YCV20WR.

Mitch,

You are welcome.

RC That's a beautiful Tele. The Strat looks to be a keeper too. I have a 62 RI Foto Flame Strat as well. I like the Japanese re-issues. My Tele and my collection of Strats all get played a lot.

I bought an amp on Ebay to go with my Tele.It's not a Tweed Champ,just a solid state Bronco but it looks so cool.

Replaced the pickguard (from white to black) and I think it looks a lot better. Also photographed outdoors because thought the color would be more accurate in natural light (though I didn't get home until 4:30pm today).
And now you can all see I haven't picked up my leaves yet:

Also found out a little more about it.
Apparently it is what is called a FSR (factory special run). And, I guess, it was a special run for GC only.

Mark: It is easy to fall for that Tele. A good looker to be sure.

Another of Peters famous puns, "fall for that Tele" Good one Peter. That is a nice Tele Mark. The black guard looks great.

Very nice, Mark and Mitch. Not a Tele but I picked up this new AM Strat earlier this week. I'm a bit of a sucker for Olympic White with a maple neck......

That'd look cool with a tortoise pickguard, Aitch. Unless you're after the Hendrix at Woodstock look, which it nails as is.
