True, true... I know it's crazy but it sounds like a fun project... There's a guy selling cheap guitars at the Sunday market here who does jobs for sweet FA, he's an old Manc so we're already into footie banter... That's exactly the kind of person I'd take it to to change bits and pieces on it... Pie in the sky tho', still got a power supply and speaker cab to buy...
I hope the Tele comes back sounding as good as I remember...

I've read a lot of opinions where people rate certain cheapo guitars equal or above Epiphone/cheaper Gibsons. From what I've had in my hands, these people have no ears and no eyes or have never actually played or seen the guitar they are comparing the chibson to.
This is so true. The bass player in my band used to swear by Tokai Les Paul copies, and a couple of his were my back-up guitar if my LP BFG broke a string in a gig. But no matter whether Japanese original or Chinese reissue, they couldn't hold a candle to the real thing in terms of playability and sound.

Once you've spent the money on pickups, electrics and set up, you'll still have a slightly poorly put together guitar with shit tuning pegs. Won't that end up being the same price as a s/h GLP anyway?
