Who Am I?
My name is S.C. I have played guitar for around forty-five years or more. I play in a weekend band doing covers. A Dance band. Yes, you can still be cool at this age. I collect guitars. I have a collection of Twenty-four guitars. Most are high end collectibles. All are played. There are around twenty amps. I never got rid of anything. Almost everything is "Vintage" that I bought brand new. Guess that makes me "Archaic." After work this is my life. I have wanted to do a web site for some time. I don't think there is anybody out there right now {magazines / Etc} that cares about us common people. Common people that have a passion some times obsession with guitars and music. They don't realize that musicians don't have a lot of money. Any questions you ask of me I will answer honestly. If I don't know I'll tell you so. But, I will find out. I have studied anything having to do with guitars for the last twenty years. Built up a fairly decent library and a hell of a lot of knowledge. It's time someone did this! I check the site several times a day and I E-mail back everyone that E-mails me. Unless the answer is already on the site. I have tried to write all this information as if I was talking to you face to face. It is obvious I am no literary giant and I do not pretend to be. What I can stand behind is I am trying to make some sort of difference or trying to shake up a tired and boring guitar community. To me there is nothing exciting going on in the guitar community like what was happening in the 1960's thru 1990's. Thank God For Jeff Beck.
our advantage!
Yes,--This is the real deal. 1971 Tele Deluxe. I could not stand the original McCarthy
pick-ups. I was only in my early twenty's so I had a guy upgrade the pick-ups. Velvet brick in the neck position. Dirty Fingers in the bridge position. With coil tap. They didn't have F-spaced Humbuckers back then. This Tele has more TWANG" with the coil tap pulled than my 2004 American Standard Telecaster Ltd Deluxe Custom Muckuty Muck {whatever they call the top end one. They have so many models of one thing I can't keep up.} "And" that guitar is one of my better guitars. This was originally supposed to put out a Les Paul sound with the neck pick up. A Strat sound at the bridge and a tele sound with the coil tap. Fast neck as good as my 71 SG. A little more comfortable w/chords. I would like to try out the new Mexican copy's to see how close they are to the original. I just started playing this guitar out. I kept it in my guitar vault since the eighty's. The guy whom worked on it {I heard} became a top custom luthier for Fender in the eighty's.
