Uncle Larry recounts the nasty fight he had with a particularly angry sounding 69 Telecaster yesterday

I was a bloody battle but think I won...

this is that time of year where you stop caring about things like trimming your beard, or giving a fuck about anything......the theme of this last week or so has been "BACK TO THE 1800'S!!"

and seriously friends...if you guys are getting a bunch of useful stuff out of these videos, PLEASE do not forget the fact that there is a tip jar within reach....also PLEASE do not forget that i had to bleed and give everything i had to find all these endless licks that you guys steal so freely and easily...

and you might think "why should i give to a guy who owns a '60 tele custom?"....but friends let's be honest... it probably won't be long til i get old and my hands give out...think about the big picture here

the PayPal tip jar is tombukovac‪@gmail.com‬
the Venmo tip jar is @Tom-Bukovac-1

Special thank you to the Reverb seller “French Riviera Guitars” for a lovely transaction on a fine fine instrument.

I could not be happier with this beautiful old guitar.

I can promise you that the last thing on earth that I was looking for was a Tele with a Bigsby, but when I scrolled past the ad for this guitar one night while I was Reverbin’ I swear I could just TELL from the photos that this was a special instrument.

I’ve been doing this too long friends
