  1. I've done some work, mainly pickup upgrades to Affinity Teles, and I believe them to be the closest you can get to what Leo Fender had in mind when he built his first Tele.

     

    On another note, my son has quite a few guitars.....dunno why, but when I bought him a J Mascis Jazzmaster, he just forgot about the rest apart from his PRS SE24 Anniversary.

     

    The CV and VMs are great guitars and I believe although Fender did a great job giving birth to them, they shot themselves in the foot, cause they forgot that simplicity was part of Leo's philosophy.

     

    The Simon Neil CV Strat I stupidly let go recently felt so much like an early 80s Fujigen MIJ Strat it was eerie.

  2. For the record:
    I followed the breadcrumbs all of the way back and this forum has not lost its way. It is still on target.

     

    Good job, I like your style, now maybe we can close this thread seeing as we have positive proof that this is merely the hysterical witterings of an old woman who smells of stale piss

  3. So what's the solution? :

     

    Don't be so dramatic, have a laugh, love one another, spread the happiness around.

     

    It may be that all the wisdom that came from this place has now been globally disseminated and every dude and his gal are buildin custom 'Casters better'n Leo ever did

     

    Besides, I have the original map that shows the way back to where the forum was, I can mail copies at a moderate price depending on what sorta paper you wanted it printed on and whether you demand genuine HP toner or will any old generic powder do?

  4. The Gordon Smith guitars was a company set up by two people, one called Gordon and the other guy's family name was Smith.

     

    Gordy was set up by the Gordon part of the partnership, apart from that I know nothing else constructive
