My 83 MIJ Squire plays as good as any guitar and I like the fact it has some years on it, and a very personal history for me. Never getting rid of that.

I feel the same way about my 84 MIJ Tele ...hey post a pic here if you feel like it ....

I may post a pic of mine in a day or two.

Nice one Kenny!

Jame's ,

A while back I seem to remember you had a Tele w 2 P 90's . I would Love to go there at some point myself .....

OK  since I had pulled the 86 MIJ Fender Esquire neck off the guitar and held on to it for all this time .I might as well show you what guitar I had put the neck on .

First here's the head stock ...remember I mentioned that my Esquire is an actual Fender made in JAPAN in 1986 not a Squier

Here's the guitar the neck is currently on

Ash bodied Korean made Samic Valley Arts Telecaster

have a good night guys ,

I think ''How Now Fat Cart-Like Wench, Whither Goest Thou Inst Drawers So Fearfully Overpopulated'' may have been one of the more outre' numbers.

That or ''Turn of the Century Grape-shot Paranoia''

 

Hey Jame's ,

I'm gonna have to give that tune a listen after I get done reading the book you wrote .....

Is anyone old enough to remember the movie "Billy Jack"?

Yes , I'm old enough to remember the movie Billy Jack .

In addition to that half my current guitar arsenal is also old enough to have been played while I was watching the movie Billy Jack ...

Sheesh talking about the age thing ...my 2 cars when you add up how old they are ...they are old enough to collect social security ..it's the truth ...

I love messing with people at the supermarket check out , when the clerk tells my my groceries ring up at $18. 83 I quickly proclaim " Ahhh yes the year I was born " " I remember it well "  more often than not it gets a giggle ...

all the best ,

RUMBLE is the electric story of how Native American influence shaped rock and roll, a missing chapter in music history.

I just saw this film on my local PBS station about a week ago . I was very impressed .

After watching it I found it had filled in a lot of holes as far my music history knowledge goes.

I tried to find out when it would play again , then I got lucky ....I'm posting the link to the whole unedited movie .

As far as I know the full movie will stream for free until 2 / 5/19 . after that I don't know ....also I do not know what the availability of this movie is outside of the us ..

This is one cool movie about rock guitar ...if you haven't seen it yet , here's a good opportunity for you to see it ....

say could you pass me the popcorn please

That is great! What you want is instruments with some soul to them.  Your friend took good care of it

My 83 MIJ Squire plays as good as any guitar and I like the fact it has some years on it, and a very personal history for me. Never getting rid of that.

I thought my guitars were long gone .I had no idea my friend was gonna gift me by giving me back my own guitars.

The whole situation was totally unexpected  .That's the freaky thing I love the most about this story .

Whew , that's a friend for sure .

I have an 84 MIJ Squier Tele . Jay Black formerly from Sadawskys Guitars who later went on to work at The Fender Custom Shop did all the fret work on it .

If it ever came down to it I could be happy w only one guitar ...

Hey nice talking w you

My MIJ Esquire  would be pretty hard to find if I wanted to ever replace it  ....I lucked out getting it back after all those years.

Most if not all 1980's Fender Guitars MIJ  are easily considered to be at least  equal to the American Fenders of various offerings and time lines .

When I grab this guitar it does not feel like any of the guitars I may play at a Music Store . It has a lot of  MOJO

Nice talking w you ,

Kenny

Hi guys ,

I just got one of my guitars back from a friend of mine . He held on to it for me for 25 years .

What we have here is my 62 Fender double bound MIJ Esquire in Candy Apple Red .

Pardon my fuzzy pics ..I'm not set up with the lighting over here

I bought this guitar brand new in 1986 when I worked at Mannys Music on W 48 th .

The first thing I did was to pull the neck off my Esquire and store it n a safe place .

Since I wanted Jumbo frets , I walked over to Rudys Music and bought one of the necks he was using for the Pensa Suhr guitars of that era .

BTW I waited 20 years to put the Esquie neck on one of my current Teles. I may show that one someday

Last but not least , at the time I didn't have a Tele with a Humbucker in the neck position so I put one in a Gibby HB in back then ...

This guitar is a keeper so I'm not at all worried about the rise and fall of guitar prices .

all the best

Kenny

To say I had a rough time with this update would be a classic understatement .

For some odd reason every time i went to download the bandlab assistant  it would just hang in download mode and nothing got transferred ...

Eventually I just moved on and downloaded it fine a day and a half later  ....

Thank you Bandlab everything is now fine . I'm happily updated and I'm very impressed with how  well you guys are working together .

all the best ,

Kenny
