Many years back during rough times I sold a Telecaster style guitar to a friend with the agreement that I would get first chance if he needed it sell it off. I was not given that option. So looking at old pictures of the days in Portage/Girdwood and hearing about a sold guitar that came back to the seller who was dieing with sellers remorse. I thought I would give it a try.
It does have an official numbered Fender Telecaster neck, a 1979 if my memory is correct (don't count on that) but the body was a Schecter (tele style). The 2 original pick-ups had been replaced with 3 others including a Humbucker at the neck. A special switch was added to separate the two Humbucker coils and the selector switch that use to switch between two pickups was replaced to switch between three pickups. I had striped the paint and left the wood natural and covered it in a clear poly coating. To cover up a number of oddly placed screw holes I cut a custom shaped clear lexan pick guard and cut out a waterfall poster. All the chrome hardware and tuners were replaced with a black.
I last saw it in Girdwood/Portage around the winter of 1996/97 Perhaps I saw it later then that up Talkeetna way, out near Casswell or NotCasswell. Dave H. moved up that way about the same time I moved into Anchorage.
Although, just before leaving Alaska in 20013, after 19 years, I though I may have seen it on a CD sleeve but can't see the complete pick guard to be certain. Perhaps just wishful thinking. I can't recall the band's name but I had got the CD to play on KONR Out North Radio.
Well that's my Craig'sList tale of woe if you can give me any info on the guitar pictured I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks
