Cheap Guitars are Good

[jimk]

I just bought a used Telecaster knock-off for $150.00 + tax. The pickup selector switch works, the tone and volume knobs both work, no loose connections, and it sounds pretty good. I think I'll have it set up for slide playing. Always wanted a cheap electric for slide. Pix at 11.

What brand, Jim?

[jimk]

Johnson. Probably made in Korea, or China. Who knows?

Congratulations on your new Johnson!

Sorry...

[jimk]

Yeah, I wondered when the go play with your johnson jokes would start. Forum rules.....so behave yourselves

On second thought, just for that, I may consider getting a Tele neck from Warmouth and bolting it onto that guitar.

Yeah, get that Johnson Rod Neck swapped out!

Well...you could always replace the decal:

Peavey reactor, hands down the best tele knockoff out there, getting hard to find, usa made, better than a mexi tele, not as good as usa teles, i traded mine for a MGB, wish i still had the guitar, only paid 150 bucks for it in '02

Congratulations on your new Johnson!

ROTFL
But congrats!

I was talking to the Exec Dir. today between lessons. And he noticed it had EMG pickups on it. He told me those are pretty good. So I'm thinking I scored pretty well for a cheap guitar. Can't bring it home for a few months. You married guys understand....

My wife is pretty good about my burgeoning guitar collection. She even helps me add to it by cruising ebay looking for guitars that I have an interest in.

Burgeoning, huh?

Then you're not at the "gotta sneak 'em in" stage yet.

Just tell her Tony made you buy it, but make sure she doesn't have Tony's phone #.
