I love Fridays...Shannon Tele'

Interesting how it was drilled for a pickup ring in the neck but never had screws installed. Must have had a change of heart!

Either that or it originally didn't have the pickguard?

Love it!

The headstock is black with some pearl flake in it, and the logo looks WAY better in person, as does the guitar. I feel lucky to own it. The lead pickup has a built in "wah" tone which sounds KILLER. Plays unreal. Super low action, ebony board feels super nice, frets are the smaller size and feel GREAT. I actually prefer the Kahler with the Floyd nut combo, it's perfect.

No serial?... because it's a Shannon?

IT'S GORGEOUS!

[Mr Graphic]

Mike Shannon built it in 1992 for a close friend. No serial # anywhere. Think he'd confirm building it? Anyone have his e-mail?

Hey! I don't like teles as well but this one is really sweet! Congrats!

I thought of that already and that's why I mentioned the unused screw holes. If you look closely, those holes for the neck pickup ring never had screws installed.

See what I mean?

But Dave, the one south-east screw hole (where the wires exit) for the bridge pup doesn't look used either, but has for shure had a screw in it

[Budman68]

I realize that but it was a lucky insert.....lol! C'mon man, have you no faith? Doug, were the neck pickup screw holes used? Get out the damn magnifier, I wanna know!

[toejam]

LOL Dave, I was going to concede and agree with you, but now that Henrik chimed in, I'm not so sure!
:ROTF:

Doug, this is very very important. I cannot stress this enough. We're talking screw holes here! I can't sleep before i know if there has been a screw in that hole!

LOL Dave, I was going to concede and agree with you, but now that Henrik chimed in, I'm not so sure!

DAMN IT, HENRIK!!!
