'cos I didnāt nick it? 
Cheers @Richard_close2u sorted. And Iām having fun 
things seem stable and youāll forgive me if I donāt do the experiment 
thanks Mari, although this was not my chosen colour. (itās āsea-greenā btw) My 'Daphne blue one has faded nicely to a dirty grey I like and no doubt this will fade too, as itās kept in the window bay
āSetting upā is a bit of a stretch, but it did please me that I was able give it a good once-over looking for the main points that I would have been clueless about a couple of years ago
Thereās always a ātrendā 
Iāll wheel it out at the OM at the latest
You remind me of when I was sent out to the Outback in Australia as a junior doctor and had to undertake postpartum ārepairsā without previous experience. An experience I, and Iām sure the poor mothers even more, would prefer to forget 
Mange tak min ven
But then again, we know everything looks good on me (even fat Blues bros. 
)
Cheers Robert, I had forgotten you āown stockā in that company

Happy NGD Brian. Sorry to read that the Thomann one didnāt work out but that is a pretty sexy lady you have there.
Also, welcome to the G&L Tele Club. Two members strong so far and both off a Richard recommendation.
Nice price as well, especially that extra Ā£30 off. Sweet!

Are you talking about the rubber ānippleā or the whole switch? 
Vielen Dank, @NicoleKKB
I actually prefer the German āHigh-timeā over Honeymoon or lune de miel
Who else?
I was happy with @Richard_close2uās recommendation for my first leccy too, the Hagstrƶm Viking, although a large part of that was for the looks and name/heritage. I tell myself this one is for a more comfortable play, with improved sound and pleasing controls.
We should call ourselves the Terrible Tele Tubbies for our next performance
If I bring my amp, weāll sound Boss too!

What a great name. Surely for that weāll need outfits?
Me but other members are welcome also.
Iāve got the stuffing sorted out- Just need a stretchy fleece and a āthingā on my head
Goodness, for some reason I had it in mind you had a Squier. Goes to show I was focusing more on your amp than axe

Just the plastic bitā¦
Why did I even ask Well, really just to test a theory. Itās said that Leo Fender perfected his vision of what his guitars should be at G&L. So I was wondering if he considered the fact the plastic knob falls off the pickup selector on Teles as a flaw or a feature

Because guitar enthusiasts are some of the saddest sods in the evolutionary pondā¦
nevertheless, I did the experiment just now and pulled the knob (firm enough not to fall off unless youāre āwindmillingā)
In the pic you can see that Leo did indeed improve the design, whilst keeping traditionalists happy:
Itās a cross-shaped slot underneath with a wide (loose) and narrow (tight) option.
Oh my, such attention to detail

Just out of curiosity. Why would you want your knob to fly off?
Oh no! Iāve been drawn in.

Hey, Iāve got gills, legs AND a tail!
Thanks for the experiment, looks like Leo did fix it!
I dunno, why would you want your knob to fly off?

Sorry Alan, no snub intended.
Maybe we should have a, āshow us your teleā thread.
I want a red and a purple one too.
Right on, bro!
I had forgotten your G&L service thread
Iām suspecting there may be another one or two G&Ls in the nearly quarter of a million community members out there Apart from the shape, they are two different beasts. Yours is probably a higher quality build, made in the US with a different bridge and pickups?
Did you ever get around to trying out the MFD pups? If so, what did you think?
Cheers B
I have a G&L Legacy Tribute. But thatās a Strat-style, guitar not a Tele style one.
Cheers,
Keith
