Hey everyone, I'm currently in the proces of building a repro of Robben's 61 Tele for a friend of mine. I need some good pics of his guitar for the aging process. Anything you can e-mail me will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Ooooooo - Nice shot of the Dumble !!

Is that a 12" or a 15" in there?

Love the pics, but in the back of my mind I keep hearing David Wilcox's great song, "Guitar Shopping," e.g.

These days I buy new guitars
They're shiny as a hearse
I still like the look of road wear,
But the roles have been reversed.
And now this guitar's a classic,
But I still don't have to buy
You see, the old ones have their stories,
But by now,
So do I.

Great photos! Yes, those frets look nice and big! I like big frets too. Over the past year, I've had the frets on nearly all of my guitars (5 so far) replaced with Dunlap 6000 fretwire--the biggest stuf they make.
