An old friend of mine used to work as a luthier for Guild and he had a bunch of beautiful instruments that he had either bought and customized or built while he was there. 2 that he let me play were a mid 60's Guild Tele-style axe, and the coolest instrument which I will never afford was like a 68 Rickenbacker 12 string.

I'm working on making my Tele into a vintage instrument by beating teh hell out of it for as long as I can. ;)
