NTPD: New Tuning Pegs Days!

[josh pelican]

I guess I put this here...

I'm going to rust them up a bit with a nice vinegar/bleach mixture. They they should be ready for the neck, which I am waiting on from AllParts. I thought they shipped it, but it's been processing since the 9th.

These are awesome tuners.

Looks good. What are those going on?

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

You going steam punk?

Self-assembled relic'd Blackguard my friend.

You going steam punk?

No, I'm going Blackguard. Steam punk is lame.

You're missing a tuner...

 

[idunno]

Sounds like a plan! You going legit or you going to put six humbuckers in it?

No I'm not. I don't want a seven string telecaster.

Standard telecaster pickups, man! Still deciding, but leaning towards Lindy Fralin...

Hawt.

 

[josh pelican]

McCabe told me he wants to use it for Cloudyhead.

EDIT: Who made a tag "Randy's Mother Sux"?

 

[Randy]

Ah, wise guys eh?

I said what?

 

[josh pelican]

You fucking know what you said.

 

[JamesM]

Falsehood.

 

[josh pelican]

Nope, you said when it's done you want a promo picture holding it, and that you'd use it for a solo on your next album.

 

[JamesM]

I don't remember saying that.

But I fully endorse that statement.



Tele's, especially aged ones, make me wet.

 

[josh pelican]

You need to stop drinkin' so much, featherduster.

It's okay, I'll let you use it. This one will be fairly aged. Last night I sanded the bridge a bit, so it's looking duller. After I eat supper I'm slapping the grain filler onto the body.

 

[JamesM]

It's me Irish blood.


Have you decided on pups yet? You know, I've used some GFS tele sets, they are some really big bang for your buck.

 

[josh pelican]

Fuck me, no. I have a text document with about 40 choices in it. Narrowing it down while I work on the body. The neck should arrive this week. There's a slight chance I'll be playing it unpainted and with no pickups for a while. Just twanging around for fun.

The sum it up, I'm looking at the following:
Lindy Fralin
BKP
Jor Barden
Lollar
Lundgren
Bill Lawrence (Regular and Keystones)
Ron Ellis

 

[JamesM]

My experience:
BKP, Lollar or Fralin.

All excellent choices, all great sounds.

 

[josh pelican]

I'm REALLY leaning towards the Fralins.
