There's something about the shot of Jimmy shaking hands with the employees, this man is an absolute legend, one of the greatest guitar players ever, and he's shaking hands with employees at Fender. It's amazing how humble and polite this man is.

[@PolyphonicSigma]

Yes. He never speaks poorly of others. Pete Townsend and Keith Richards just trash everyone they speak of, mostly. Ask either about any rival such as Page, Clapton, etc and they just bash them. Jimmy always finds something good to say about literally anyone he is asked about. Pete and Keith are both basically glorified rhythm guitarists...neither plays anything terribly difficult. Keith writes brilliant songs, never cared for The Who though. But Page is the full package. Plays rhythm AND lead, and improvises live to push the music to new places. Class act and my fave guitarist along with Gilmour of Pink Floyd

[@GuitarMav]

Beautiful guitar. I loved seeing how much Jimmy loved and appreciated the process and final result. Well done!

People need to understand the significance of the 1:08 mark. That is the first time SINCE 1969 that his original Tele has been seen! In 1971, Jimmy's friend painted over his Tele and ruined it and it was assumed he threw the body out, but then to see it in this video, brought a tear to my eye

[@mattrogers1946]

Yes!

[@marcusharrigan6879]

Yea. Very interesting. It would appear that sometime between when the guitar was painted and "wrecked" and now it was stripped bare (??). Not much mention of the pickups although they did show what appeared to be something pretty vintage. I also thought that the original neck went to his brown B-Bender telecaster. Did he swap the necks back or at least pull it to measure it up? I would like to see these details brought to light in the near future.

[@digthemusicman483]

@@marcusharrigan6879 Yea, he stripped it bare, haha. Also, apparently when the guitar was "ruined," it was ruined specifically because the pickups were painted over, apparently only the neck pickup worked. But he sanded it down this past year and has apparently repainted it and the original neck, which ended up on his B Bender Tele, is seen here in the video. So I'd say his is back together again haha

Without that he'd have his lawyer sue you for every penny you could possibly make off using his name, and then some for all the pain and suffering you have caused him by not negotiating his percentage of the profits first. And remember that when a boss gives you praise that just means you're underpaid and don't realize it. Even God will tell you that praise doesn't amount to sh*t when you're being nailed to the cross.
