Testimonials
Hi Angela, I picked up one of your telecasters from Vintage 'n' Rare in Bath yesterday. I had put a deposit on it after five minutes of playing it the previous week. The spec is spot on and it plays beautifully. The guys were jealous of me taking it away. I now have tele twins as I have a blackguard which yours matches brilliantly with. Thank you, Dave.
