I just want everyone to know that I love this girl. She makes me weak in the knees when she smiles at me. She makes my heart beat fast when she holds my hand. Still. This is what love really is.

I am engaged.

I love her so much.

hey... an update:

Tue, 19 Jul 2005 02:30:38 GMT

I really need to sell this:

agave blue MIM Fender Telecaster.

I bought this guitar about 4 months ago and before I even put a new set of strings on it I installed (for obvious reasons) a Lindy Fralin 10% over-wound bridge pickup. When I installed it, I removed the neck pickup and the selector. I still have them, and if requested will include them in the sale. I also slapped on a Fender replacement perloid pickguard and Shaller straplocks which I will include.

As AMAZING as this guitar sounds (and it really does sound amazing. If you don't know about Fralin pickups, do some research.), I used it only for recording and for two live shows. I bought the guitar to switch out at shows but ended up playing it the whole set. Other than that, it's just been hanging out in a stand.

It has no visible fretware. It only has 3 scuffs to speak of which are hardly noticeable; I only mention them because I like to be thorough.

It didn't get a case with it, but I will also throw in a gig bag.

I'm asking $425 shipped (if applicable; $400 if you can pick it up). Please email me with any questions.

Thanks,
Tom

Someone buy this...
