However, I do get to play on our church's Hammond M3, with it's internal speaker bypassed and into a GSi Burn Leslie simulator. The only thing it doesn't have that would be cool is some presets. In between songs I have to quickly change registrations if there's a big difference. I played the first generation Electro and haven't been able to get it out of my head since!

Here's my meager submissions....truly, just a few. In my studio in 1987.

About 2 years ago Sweetwater was blowing these out for under $300 each. Stock they come with 9 pup combinations. I added a switch into the cover of the electronics cavity that turns on the tail pup that provides 4 more combinations. Cost to do that was under 5$. I would do the same to any 5-position switch guitar I ever obtain in the future without hesitation. Instantly gives a tele middle position sound of any standard strat.

A Takamine 12 String A Martinez Lap Steel A Mandolin 2 Ukuleles A Ibanez Roadstar (anybody know where to get a bridge replacement - probably have enough without it?) A Black Fender Stratocaster 1990's A Blonde Fender Telecaster (plays and sounds real nice)1980's A Baby Taylor (good for taking on trips) A Epiphone SG (set up for slide) A James Tyler Variax (there is one of the old ones around somewhere as well) A Gretsch Electromatic A Taylor Nylon String (nicer to play than the Aria) A Taylor 414 (nice guitar) A Sunburst Fender Stratocaster (gets a lot of use) about 12 months old A Les Paul Gibson (looks really nice heavy though) around 2013 Another beat up old classical guitar 1970's A Bass in it's case (rarely opened) A Banjo ukulele My wife thinks I have too many??? (she particularly dislikes the cases) Oh yeah and there is a couple in my son's room that I gave to him.

My Ibanez Tele is 7.5#. Back in '78 during my live band days a band member had a Kramer to play with for a while. Although only single neck THAT was another heavy muther. Played well, felt beefy and durable but also a bit unbalanced when compared to other axes. Back to topic....

When I picked up my Ibanez Tele Silver Series, I agonized (just a bit) over whether buying an Ibanez tele vs. Fender would be a hasty purchase I might regret. (I think it was during the Fender lawsuit days but don't quote me on that) But...the price was right, Fender was above my budget and I did need an electric as it was during my live band decade. As it turned out, I'm quite happy with it. I do wonder if it has maintained any real value today almost (4) decades later. Oh....Gibson tends to be out of my budget too.
