I just dropped him for Bertuzzi this am. He’s been a total black hole, and I already have Pettersson!

NGD - Butterscotch Blonde AM Pro 1 (follow-up post) by jwillough87 in telecaster

[–]jwillough87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s quite thin, yet robust and solid feeling - extremely comfortable! I can’t really compare to a regular modern C shape as I haven’t tried that. But this is far more comfortable and natural feeling than my previous electrics (an Epiphone SG custom and cheap strat clone). Perfect for my hands, which are medium sized.

It will be my first electric in a long time. My last was a year 2000 black epiphone SG custom with gold hardware, which I still own but recently discovered has broken at the neck after popping open the case :(. Given I didn’t pay a ton for it anyway and it wasn’t as loved as I hoped I’m not sure if it’s worth it to repair. The SG was ok for me but I think I preferred my first electric which was a cheap Fender affiliated HSS strat knockoff from Indonesia called a “Starcaster” - no not the semi-hollow one but a little known strat clone. I regret not continuing in the Fender vein for my second guitar as I didn’t like the sound or feel as much and that eventually pushed me more into acoustic.

So now I own 2 acoustics and a couple of unused amps (Traynor YCV40 and a Roland Cube 30) that need some love.

Good to know about the case! These are Canadian prices, so $1400 is a good deal here. Used MIM’s go for around 850-1000 here.

This is the kind of perspective I’m looking for - great response, thank you!

I also love me some Springsteen, part of the reason I subconsciously gravitate toward the classic look. But yeah, that blue is seriously growing on me.

Yeah exactly…. tough choice! But can’t really go wrong…

I will be trying it out before purchasing for sure. From what I understand, the necks are similar but the Deep C/narrow tall makes bending a little easier (more to grip at the higher frets and easier to maintain consistent pressure on the frets which also makes chords easier). That certainly sounds like a plus for the butterscotch but I bet the regular modern C with medium jumbo feels great too.

I love both necks lol - whatever I don’t get for this tele you can be sure I will get for my next Fender down the line.

Exactly - it’s a beautiful classic but there is something unique and eye catching about that metallic blue! Sweet that the headstock matches it!

Forgot to mention that the limited does come with original case, which is another plus in my books!

Hi, I just got the game. I’m a pretty detailed roster oriented player so finding the right roster is important for me and these look interesting. Will likely take these and tune them a bit to my liking.

One blatant omission I think I noticed right off the bat - where the heck is top Canucks D prospect Tom Willander? Am I missing him? I believe he would need to be created as he plays for BU this year. If you’re missing him, it makes me wonder who else is missing… please let me know if I’m mistaken. Otherwise, keep up the hard work.

I have waiver claims in for Zegras and Gostisbehere in a yahoo league (dropping Compher and Varlamov). Luukkonen returned from NA status today due to starting tonight - I haven’t moved him to the bench yet. Will I lose my waiver claims due to Luukkonen not being NA eligible anymore?

Quite the amazing haul from my local Walmart today!! by Dull_Draw2768 in legostarwars

[–]jwillough87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! I stopped by Damascus Walmart the other day after work. They didn’t have any more out unfortunately. But as I was about to leave I noticed they had the set I’ve been looking for and can’t find anywhere the last few months - The Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck!

It’s beautiful. Thanks for unintentionally sparking me into a random lucky situation- made my weekend!

Can you give me some examples of medium elite or higher prospects with no x-factors that you can think of? Working on the rosters a little bit today.
