[quote="ThinlineTele"]There's this wild-looking, obscure old Rickenbacker guitar that's green with an anodized gold pickguard. I've always thought it would be interesting to make a semihollow Tele in the same color with the gold pickguard, and use Rickenbacker pickups to get a Rick-like sound and aesthetic with the playability of a Tele.

Tele maybe you would like Johnny Marr's green tele, that he bought from Pete Townshend, but it does have a figured top.

Typical Instant Music behavior.

I love Pete's old Rics that had a standard f-hole, beautiful instrument!

[quote="Marekenshin"]And then on top of that you question the validity of people's apologies? [/quote]

You said "I'm sorry you felt insulted," and you did it once that I can tell. "I'm sorry you felt insulted" is not a legitimate apology. You are not truly sorry for what you said - you basically just said "I hurt you, suck it up." A real apology in this case would demonstrate remorse for what you said. You haven't done that yet.

[quote="Marekenshin"]it's a bit rude to call me out after the fact just because others are insulted.[/quote]
A list of people being straight up dicks in this thread: Mare
A list of people Mare is blaming for being dicks: TJWX5, Thinline, GR.

I posted because your back and forth trying to convince TJWX5 of his inferiority was getting really tiresome.
Me saying "ugly guitars" was harsh, but it was my simple opinion, I didn't try to nail it into his skull that he had bad taste or that putting a flame top on a Tele was the worst thing in the history of luthiery that he could do.

[quote="Marekenshin"]@Thinline And I'm sorry if me being grumpy makes me post angrily and troll people, [b]apparently you've never done such a thing.[/b][/quote]

Really? You're defending yourself by saying Thinline has been rude in some unrelated cases in the past? [b]ITT: CYBERBULLYING. BUT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.[/b]

Grow up, man. You're being a complete hypocrite, mocking somebody relentlessly behind their back and then jumping the their defense ONLY AFTER OTHERS EXPRESSED UPSET. Last night, after all of my "inflammatory" posts, you were totally chill, didn't care. Others got hurt, you started to white knight the shit out of it. Pathetic.

In private, I said to you:
- Fender headstocks rock, TJWX5's style of headstock may not match a Tele "but it's pretty as far as headstocks go."
- Pickguard would match another style of guitar better, but looking again at it now, he gets points for the original design.
- The sides of the Tele may be a different color than the face, but I can't tell.

That was it. If there was anyone being relentless, it was you - I was basically your hate-wank audience. Which is fine, because it's not in public. But when you bring this hatefest out in a thread, and you don't stop, after multiple pages...I felt like I needed to intervene to show you how much of a negative ass you're being. You sorta crossed a line. I think it's time to stop defending yourself, maybe apologize to TJ, and move on.

shut the fuck up no one loves you

You were being relentless in your general dislike of him, not necessarily about the guitar, which you only mocked a little in the chat (pretty pathetic that you want to say "oh I only said x" when you said more than that, btw). My being "relentless" was only in response to him posting back at me specifically, while yours was private, sure. But you can't go around being a dick and then call out others for it. You're being ridiculously hypocritical in an attempt to make yourself look good, especially with this selective "what I said was" bullshit. Nice try, brahski.

[quote="GoldenRhino"]shut the fuck up no one loves you[/quote]

I have a birthday card from my mother that says she does.

^I lol'd.

Also, GR, why would I still need to apologize to him? Until you and Thinline decided to stir shit up again, we were cool, according to him:

[quote="TJWX5"]Yeah we are cool. You are in the top ten tripiest people I talk with, and I grew up in LA! "Les Paul with a weird headstock trying to be a Tele?" that is what I wanted lol.[/quote]

Knock it off, you're just making yourself look like somebody who loves to pick internet arguments for the joy of looking like Mr. Nice Guy or something ridiculous.

Edit, also:
[quote="GoldenRhino"]Yeah, I too called it ugly (and I wouldn't have done so to your face).[/quote]
ORLY
[quote="GoldenRhino"]itt about ugly guitars[/quote]
LOL

I don't think GR has ever been Mr. Nice Guy. I'm just nice when I care to be. In this case, TJWX5 is tryna be the very best master luthier like no one ever was, and given that we all get pretty aroused over guitars, I have decided for myself that in this particular case, he should be treated with respect, encouragement, and slight sexual intimacy.

Nobody treated him with anything else until he got insulted that people disliked the look of one of his guitars. And even then, it was noted by multiple people that said parts would look good, just not on that particular body.

But seriously, glad you finally figured out you're just going to look bad if you keep this up.
