JM, Happy Holidays to you and yours too! hope y'all will be exercising your old Epis and Gibsons regularly too! Best, RAB

Any of y'all on the West Coast? I am in the SF Bay Area. Would be great if we could have a face to face get together one of these days to share our prized axes and tip a glass or two!

Lovin' the Tele and gigging it alot. Considering getting a real '59-62 slab board Tele now. I had a real '59 Esquire, '59 Tele Custom and '62 Tele years ago...was more into humbucker tone at the time...now more back to basics I guess! Lemme know if you know of a nice slab Tele out there...

This amp sounds great, nice and chunky. Grittier than the Blackface '64 Deluxe I have...

Just picked up a 2014 Fender Custom Shop '59 Telecaster and I've been gigging it a lot! Put in Duncan Broadcaster pickups and it sounds great, nice and light too! Compares favorably to the vintage slabboard Teles I've owned!

These custom shop Fenders are great gigging guitars. They play and sound good and you don't worry about dinging them up at the show!

Gorgeous Custom Shop Strat! I like my 2007 American Vintage Reissue '59 Strat as well. And I just scored a 2014 custom shop Journeyman relic '59 Tele that is a fabulous fiddle as well! Compares favorably to the genuine old, original Fenders I've had over the years...

Unsolicited info! '62 Riviera at Bananas at Large (advertising on Reverb), stickered PAFs, decent condition, ex-Satriani for a decent price! I love mine, rare opportunity to get a short headstock Riv...they only made about 40/year in '62-'63!

JM nor am I on Facebook...perhaps someone who is can promote our Epi site! On a related note, is there anyone on the USA West Coast who'd be interested in a face to face, show and tell get together?
