GLS ES58 used to be an inexpensive alternate to the Shure. I don't know if they are available anymore.

Added: The GLS ES57 is currently available.

Life's a beech!

Yep!

Doesn't seem to want to remember login info either.

Another thumbs up for all mahogany!

The obvious answer is to get them both!

If you insist on only getting one (& forever lamenting not also getting the other one) I would go with the Walnut Jr. You will be drawn to playing it because you like the looks. Plus it gives you more variety with the other Gretsch that you have.

Congrats on another great find! You definitely have a knack for finding great bargains!

I have the same guitar & love it. I love all my IYV guitars. The uncovered Destiny pups rock! Enjoy!

Kinda spendy, but this looks intriguing... https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/latest-updates/introducing-seymour-duncans-hyperswitch-a-bluetooth-5-way-switch HyperSwitch is a five-way guitar pickup switch with an all-analog signal flow that allows you to unlock exciting new tone-mods from your exist...

Beautiful!

How much does it weigh?

Coupla beauties!

I had to bump this thread again to mention how pleased I am with the 338. To recap, I installed Grovers, some custom Buddha pups and I stained the fretboard with ebony stain by Minwax. I took it to rehearsal last week and gave it a good workout through my Peavey C30. It is a perfect player and just...

IDK, but it is a looker!

Isn't his switch in the neck postion? Your comments say you are using the bridge pup.

@ILuvTeles - I'm curious about these too. How would you describe the neck profile? slim, medium C, Chunky like SX strat necks, etc.? IIRC the necks were a medium C. The things I liked were the 43 mm width & the 10" radius. Fretwork seemed to be pretty good. Nut needed filing (no surprise)....

How about this yellow? I don't have any experience with AE bodies but maybe someone here does: https://aeguitars.com/products/s-style-alder-tremolo-vintage-poly-base-graffiti-yellow Thanks for the link! I'm tempted.... I have bought a few items from them (mainly necks) & have been very satisfie...

Gorgeous! Love the look of the stained back

I would heartily endorse this effort! You aren't playing it as is & P90s rock!

Can't have too many Teles.

I like the way you think!

Wow, quite a story. Glad to hear you are OK!

Purdy! And you done stole it!

I miss the old B-stock feeding frenzies!

@TVvoodoo This phrase is redundant:

Wrong place to ask to be talked out of it...

@slowhand84 & @BatUtilityBelt Hopefully this will turn into more HBs on the used market, too!

@sabasgr68 Such beautiful scenery on her trip. My wife & I watched some of it on the big screen TV, much better than the computer screen.

Anyone else been following 'Itchy Boots'? I got kind of hooked on it. I especially liked the episodes in Alaska. My daughter lived up there, so it was neat seeing some of the sights again. Spoiler alert: She finally made it all the way to Prudhoe Bay. The last episode, which is a longer episode summ...
