haha filmy, yes we did customize the tele, but still--
my parents are on a roll with this real estate stuff and they offered, because still the tele i cant control my sound as much as i want--(i still like it alot tho :) )

anyway, i tried the joe pass, didnt compare with the artcores i dont htink.. let me research some more, and go to a store in a few days.

i keep reading more and more good things about the Artcores. i'm thinking of picking one up myself from musiciansfriend.com. $294 and free shipping seems like a steal.

has anybody ordered a guitar from musiciansfriend before? are they playable right out of the box?
