Classic/Shallows: Out of Control

[Rich_W]

Yes, another snapshot into the uber-obsessed world of Rich_W.

Classic Shape/Shallow Drop 42cm, 12cm stem scattered about the floor.

BTW, the new ritchey stuff is really sweet. Stem 135g and Bars 216g. Newton stuff is a bit porky at 152g and 254g...

Any close ups of that Ritchey stem Rich? (sorry )

[PLAYLIFE]

LJ means the Carbon Ritchey stem and bar, doesn't he?

Any close ups of that Ritchey stem Rich? (sorry )

I'm workin on it Bub...

hey... it was you that made me go and get the Newton... something to effect that Ritchey on Pinna is like Mustard on Ice Cream. It just doesn't go!

Close up pics (with my '51 Fender NoCaster...) Classic for a Classic!

Nice Fender Telecaster!
Let's see the rest of it

Actually... precedes the telecaster... the '51 "NoCaster" does not have the Telecaster insignia on its headstock... It falls between the '50 Broadcaster and '52 Telecaster. I know this may sound picky, but I'm a big time Fenderphile

Wow, that's a great guitar you got there. You don't see many of those around. But the '52 Tele is my all time favourite.
I play a Fender American Series Telecaster myself, 1996.



Enough OT

[Rich_W]

The 52 has a bit more of a translucent nitro butterscotch finish... the 51 is more solid butterscotch. Subtle differnences though. I used to have a 52 US Vintage Reissue in Copper. But sold it for this one. I also have a '62 US vintage reissue Strat... built in 1981.

BTW, take a look at the Video they did on the "Blackie" on the Fender Custom Shop Website... good stuff...

You're right of course, but hey, that doesnt necessarily extend to an EP

How about 'debadging' the Ritchey stuff, that would look nice on any bike...

Rich,

Where did you get the stem? I wasn't aware they were available yet.

all you need to do now is bring back jerry garcia to set that fender on fire

Anyway it's not a full carbon stem the Ritchey WCS 4 Axis
it's made from 2014 aluminium in the inner side and on the outer-side a layer of Carbonfibre.
