I play nearly 100 gigs per year and usually divide them between the Strat and the 335 so I pretty much know where everything is on each. I also play an Ibanez Artcore for some background dinner type jazz and standard gigs occasionally but the controls on the Ibanez just about mirror the Gibby.

Now I have been known to forget my speaker stands (sans Bose LI) in the other truck or even on a gig from time to time.

Any way guitar arrived yesterday, I arrived today but have a house full of company through Thanksgiving so I won't be able to set up the sound system and try out the new Tele until next week. But 1st look was one of wow if this thing plays like it looks all will be fine.

PS: I just don't like the thought of the 335 riding in the truck or even a car. I know I will take care of it while playing but n case you have not noticed the Hwys are full of idiots these days. And I'd hate to have explain to the authorities that I shot one of them just because he/she was tailgating my ES335 too closely.

Later Guys,
