So, I'm at my favorite local guitar store. The one where everyone in there knows my name and my equipment. I told one of them the last time in that I'm thinking of building a keef machine. (Tele, low E buh bye, etc) I walk in and he shows me a damaged item. MIM Tele that had been dropped. Looks and sounds great. Action is incredible. Just a few dings.

So, I'm thinking of trading a line-6 spider II 210 for it. I don't use the amp much as I plug my V-amp into one of my fenders.

Any thoughts?

Yup, I have a good idea. Give them the line-6, take the guitar and send it to me. 8)

With just a couple of dings and no structural damage it sounds like a decent deal.

If you don't really use the amp alot, but would use the guitar, I'd do it.

I'll just put it in the crate with my Harley. :)

You'll need to put some air in the tires. I didn't want to send any NC air when you'll be riding it in NY.

It's amazing what I'll agree to while on pain meds. :)

Well, I went down there and played it the other day and decided against it. First off, I would have needed to change the neck p-up to a mini-humbucker. Second, one of the dents was rather large. The biggest thing though, after changing the pickups on my Strat, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two sound wise right now.

However, at another shop accross town sits a used Squire Tele with two humbuckers on it.....

Stay Tuned.
