I'm planning on getting some Tele knobs with set screws for my 51. I'm hoping that they will fit, anyone know for sure???
Also I ran across this on the 51 forum. A school teacher got this from his students, probably the best gift they could give him. SUPER COOL!

I can check when I'm back home later this week. But IIRC, the set screw knobs don't center well on split-shaft pots such as those on the '51.

Music is the universal language.
Thats cool :D I thought they'd go in the auditorium and rock out after. :cry:
Ummm, is 110GBP for Vintage Blonde a decent deal?
Triple_C
110 is about as good as I've seen
though it is in effect double what the Americans pay! :(
Yeah but all guitars are overpriced here. 140GBP for affinity strat!
Triple_C
are you guys still talking about the 51's, longest running post in gn history, i think, check with nick lol 8)
even god loves rock-n-roll
I tried the 51 last week. Pretty good especially for the price
but I can't decide whether it is the
"poor mans Tele" or "the Poor mans Strat".
The question is would you gig with this guitar?
Which fender amp sounds best with it?

I was going to order one, I really was. But then my SG gave me an evil look from the stand next to me and I decided against it :P
Ewan McGregor: I said, "Eve, I want you to look after my wedding ring while I'm away," and she started to cry and I said, "Eve. Eve, I can't wear my ring or I won't get laid on the trip!"
Just ordered one. First electric guitar :)
Too bad they didn't have the sunburst one (only black).

I think its both :D I find its very versatile. With a good set up and some power slinkys this thing rocks. No reason not to gig with it IMHO :wink:
I don't have a fender amp, but mine sounds very nice with my Epi valve amp.

And that brings our total to 76 guitars. Wow! I'm sure I missed a few, so let me know.

In addition, I need to update a new picture... I bought a Lite Ash Tele neck (not Bish's!) to pop on this to dress it up. Wow... 22-frets and fits like a dream. Intonates perfectly. Adding the 22nd fret is nice. I did have to cut the pickguard slightly to get it to fit, though. I'll take a new picture shortly.
