[Off for a twangy afternoon now ta. ]

if you mean that you're going to play some songs written by the twang, you have lost any man points gained by having acquired a cool guitar.

Encourage talent. My lad got one when he was 6, go with it, play to their strengths, you can always sell on ebay. It's great, better than violin!

Oak? Swamp Ash surely...
Nice guitar! I'm of a rosewood neck fan m'self, but that's pretty sweet looking. Hmm, I don't have a Thinline in my collection. Perhaps I should do something about that...

yup, it is swamp ash actually, try a thinline, you wont regret it, bloody lovely they are, fender are doing some 1972(with fender humbuckers) model squire ones at the mo which are pretty damn good for the money,that one is a Corona made one for the Japanese market in 2005. they are hard to find.... but terrific guitars.

Nice. I've just got a (non-Fender) relic Strat coming, so might have to hold off on a Tele for, er, a week or so...

Nice tele - and I do like a bit of binding. I bought a Japanese '62 Tele in black with double binding - very sweet. Though it seems that everyone and his dog is playing Teles at the moment, so I'm favouring the Strats (or going off the wall with Arias and stuff).

Recently I have mostly been trying to get the hang of fretless bass though... eek!

Cos they're 'kin ace and it's taken everybody else years to realise it, it has driven the price of them up unfortunately 🙁
