If you need an 80's Hair Metal outfit, you might be able to contact Dee Snider's wife from band "Twisted Sister," but make sure you pay her or you will run afoul of Dee!

Pink or green Mohawk or nuttin'.

Wow, Disappointment of the Year 2020, no pressure lol.

Also not entirely sure which definition of widdling is being used here. Which makes me a little bit uncomfortable.

TBH buying myself a toy feels quite self indulgent - having bought a few decent instruments I generally only buy gear I actually need for work... but I might stretch to a Harley Benton though, and these seem like legitimately decent guitars, if you change the electronics.

If I am Disappointment of the Year 2020 can someone do a little rosette that I can put on my website and social media?

Swap the pups out for Classic 57's or similar and you'd have a nice jazz tele I reckon.

I think a hod rod tele might work for me

Point it up! Mickey Mouse ears will do just fine. Lesson starts 1:30, go for it.

Oh boy. Started talking about pointy, and ends up with telecaster. It's like going for Thai food and ending up with fish and chips.

Give him time ... Let him start with that hot rod tele .. then he'll get a high gain pedal .. then he'll discover that the 40+ chicks love high gain, so out come the leather pants and before you know it ... bye bye Jazz

Don't he deserve a wee bit of escapism from the trouble and strife at home?

Pointy widdle machines do actually make you happy .. can confirm

**P.J.** · 12-07-2020, 06:45 AM

Slightly pointy and eminently useful, a Parker Nitefly is an incredible guitar that never caught on.

**christianm77** · 12-07-2020, 10:47 AM

I vagauely want a pointy widdle machine, not want a vaguely pointy widdle machine:-(

I jammed with a guy who had one of those. We were working different shifts at the time, so nothing came of it. I recall the instrument as angular, light, and very good-sounding. Not pointy, but definitely indicating a direction. Forward.
